Skin Protection by Carotenoid Pigments

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 25(3), P. 1431 - 1431

Published: Jan. 24, 2024

Sunlight, despite its benefits, can pose a threat to the skin, which is natural protective barrier. Phototoxicity caused by overexposure, especially ultraviolet radiation (UVR), results in burns, accelerates photoaging, and causes skin cancer formation. Natural substances of plant origin, i.e., polyphenols, flavonoids, photosynthetic pigments, protect against effects radiation, acting not only as photoprotectors like filters but antioxidant anti-inflammatory remedies, alleviating photodamage skin. Plant-based formulations are gaining popularity an attractive alternative synthetic filters. Over past 20 years, large number studies have been published assess photoprotective products, primarily through their antioxidant, antimutagenic, anti-immunosuppressive activities. This review selects most important data on efficacy selected carotenoid representatives from vivo animal models humans, well vitro experiments performed fibroblast keratinocyte cell lines. Recent research carotenoids associated with lipid nanoparticles, nanoemulsions, liposomes, micelles reviewed. The focus was collecting those nanomaterials that serve improve bioavailability stability antioxidants activity.

Physicochemical Properties of Nanoencapsulated Essential Oils: Optimizing D-Limonene Preservation

Polymers, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 17(3), P. 348 - 348

Published: Jan. 27, 2025

Essential oils exhibit antioxidant properties but are prone to oxidative degradation under environmental conditions, making their preservation crucial. Therefore, the purpose of this work was evaluate physicochemical nanoencapsulated essential (EOs) extracted from peel sweet lemon, mandarin, lime, and orange using four formulations wall materials consisting gum arabic (GA), maltodextrin (MD), casein (CAS). The results showed that EOs higher solubility (79.5% 93.5%) when encapsulated with GA/MD. Likewise, lemon highest phenolic content GA/CAS (228.27 mg GAE/g sample), mandarin GA/MD/CAS (1709 1599 μmol TE/g) had capacity. On other hand, encapsulation efficiency obtained in lime GA/MD (68.5%), nanoencapsulates D-limonene (613 ng/mL). Using increased EO lemon. were most efficient for retaining orange.

A review of sustainable strategies for encapsulating antioxidant-rich plant polyphenolic extracts using nanoemulsification to enhance the oxidative stability of edible oils

Discover Food, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 5(1)

Published: March 18, 2025

Abstract Edible oils are high in polyunsaturated fatty acids, which beneficial for health but also highly susceptible to oxidation. When exposed oxygen, light, and heat, undergo oxidation, leading the formation of harmful compounds, including free radicals hydroperoxides. This results rancidity, off-flavors, toxic substances. Usually, synthetic antioxidants such as butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) hydroxytoluene (BHT) have been employed inhibit this degradation process. However, their adverse effects encouraged using natural phenolic derived from plant sources edible oils. Nevertheless, applications limited due low solubility, thermal stability, loss antioxidant activity during processing. Nanoencapsulation can address these limitations by protecting environmental factors processing storage. Moreover, technique improves solubility controlled release antioxidants, enhancing oxidative stability These findings emphasize potential nanoencapsulated nanoemulsification preserving Graphical
