Omega-3 fatty acids (O3FA) are essential nutrients that play a crucial role in maintaining human and animal health. They known for their numerous health claims, including cardiovascular benefits, contributing to both the prevention treatment of immunological, neurological, reproductive, complications, supporting overall well-being. Fish, especially oily fish, comprise rich source O3FA. In fish industry, significant amounts by-products waste generated during processing which often discarded...
This study evaluated the physicochemical characteristics of nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) as a potential vehicle for cannabidiol (CBD), lipophilic molecule with great to promote health benefits. NLCs were produced using hemp seed oil and fully-hydrogenated soybean at different proportions emulsifiers lecithin (SL), Tween 80 (T80) mixture SL:T80 (50:50). CBD was tested in form CBD-rich extract or isolate CBD, verify if it affects characteristics. Based on particle size polydispersity,...
The incorporation of nanostructures loaded with bioactive compounds into food matrices is a promising approach to develop new functional foods improved nutritional, health profiles and good sensorial properties. rheological tribological properties yogurt enriched curcumin-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) were evaluated. Also, the TCA solubility index, bioaccessibility curcumin cell viability assessed after dynamic in vitro digestion. presence SLN did not affect its properties; however,...
A potential valorization pathway for pyrolysis oils from lignocellulosic biomass is their co-hydrotreatment with petroleum cuts to produce transportation fuels. The study of simultaneous hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) and hydrodesulfurization (HDS) reactions therefore essential before considering such a co-treatment. influence different oxygenated compounds on the hydrotreatment straight-run gas oil was studied CoMo/γ-Al2O3 catalyst under industrial operating conditions. selected were 2-propanol,...
Oil-in-water nanoemulsions containing curcumin were prepared through high-pressure homogenization using corn oil and three different emulsifiers: Tween 20 (non-ionic), Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate (SDS, anionic) DodecylTrimethylAmmonium Bromide (DTAB, cationic). A human gastric simulator was used as the in vitro digestion model (in which stomach, duodenum, jejunum ileum steps performed) to evaluate impact of surface charge on nanoemulsions. This allowed simulation continuous peristaltic movements...
