Encapsulation of Vitamins Using Nanoliposome: Recent Advances and Perspectives

Masoud Aman Mohammadi et al. Adv Pharm Bull. 2023 Jan.

Abstract

Nowadays the importance of vitamins is clear for everyone. However, many patients are suffering from insufficient intake of vitamins. Incomplete intake of different vitamins from food sources due to their destruction during food processing or decrease in their bioavailability when mixing with other food materials, are factors resulting in vitamin deficiency in the body. Therefore, various lipid based nanocarriers such as nanoliposomes were developed to increase the bioavailability of bioactive compounds. Since the function of nanoliposomes containing vitamins on the body has a direct relationship with the quality of produced nanoliposomes, this review study was planned to investigate the several aspects of liposomal characteristics such as size, polydispersity index, zeta potential, and encapsulation efficiency on the quality of synthesized vitamin-loaded nanoliposomes.

Keywords: Encapsulation; Nanoliposome preparation; Nanoliposomes; Nutraceuticals; Vitamins.
