Multifunctional membranes applied to biomedical materials become attractive support the biological agents and increase their properties. In this study, biopolymeric fibers based on polycaprolactone (PCL) pectin (PEC) were reinforced with faujasite zeolite (FAU) for cloxacillin antibiotic (CLX) loading. FAU a high specific surface area (347 ± 8 m2 g-1), crystallinity particles diameter of up 100 nm produced under optimized synthesis conditions (100 °C/4 h). Zeolites incorporated into polymeric nanofibers be carrier in wound treatment, using electrospinning as an efficient method. The showed good mechanical resistance incorporation CLX was proven by assays inhibit growth Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. controlled release different pH conditions, which simulate environment, carried out 229 h, achieving released concentration 6.18 0.02 mg L-1. These results prove that obtaining hybrid fiber (polymer-zeolite) incorporate drugs manner successfully achieved. bactericidal activity material shows its use measured applications could alternative conventional methods.

Cancer has a high rate of incidence and mortality throughout the world. Although several conventional approaches have been developed for treatment cancer, such as surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy thermal therapy, they remarkable disadvantages which result in inefficient cancer. For example, immunogenicity, prolonged treatment, non-specificity, metastasis cost are considered major drawbacks chemotherapy. Therefore, there is fundamental requirement development breakthrough technologies cancer suppression. Polysaccharide-based drug delivery systems (DDSs) most reliable carriers therapy. Polysaccharides, kind practical biomaterials, divided into types, including chitosan, alginates, dextran, hyaluronic acid, cyclodextrin, pectin, etc. Polysaccharides extracted from different natural resources (like herbal, marine, microorganisms, etc.). The potential features polysaccharides made them candidates therapeutics to sites; simple purification, ease modification functionalization, hydrophilicity, serum stability, appropriate loading capacity, biocompatibility, bioavailability, biodegradability stimuli-responsive sustained release manner considerable aspects these biopolymers.

ABSTRACT This study addresses the challenge of stabilizing vitamin D 3 , an unstable, fat‐soluble vitamin, whose efficacy is diminished by environmental factors. The objective was to encapsulate using pectin (1%–3% w/w) and whey protein concentrate (WPC) (1%–2% at varying ratios, facilitated Tween 80 surfactant (0.5% 2.5% w/w), through high‐pressure homogenization create oil‐in‐water (O/W) nanoemulsions. Optimization preparation conditions for both aqueous oil phases conducted experimental design. Characterization stability nanoemulsions were assessed scanning electron microscopy (SEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Release kinetics vitamin‐D into sunflower monitored high‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) under various conditions. optimal encapsulation achieved with a 30:70 oil‐to‐aqueous phase ratio, comprising 27.5% in phase, 1% WPC 2% phase. nanoemulsion demonstrated over 60 days storage, z ‐average particle size 98.2 nm. HPLC analysis indicated 90% recovery encapsulated oil. These findings suggest promising approach developed enhancing bioavailability shelf life food applications.
