Graphical Abstract

This schematic illustrates the encapsulation of Passiflora edulis seed oil (PFSO) into lipid nanoparticles (LNP-PFSO), transforming waste into value. The nanoparticles, optimized for size (126 nm, PDI: 0.19), were characterized (SEM, FTIR, XRD) and tested for antimicrobial and antioxidant activities, with applications in food fortification or active packaging.
Establishment of Oyster‐Water‐Soluble Protein–EGCG–Linseed Oil‐Emulsion System and Its Lipid Oxidation Stability During Storage and In Vitro Gastrointestinal Digestion
-  13 July 2025
Graphical Abstract

An oyster-derived oyster-water-soluble protein (OWP)–(−)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) complex was used to form the OWP–EGCG linseed oil-emulsion system, whereas its characterization properties and antioxidant effects against lipid and protein oxidation during storage and in vitro digestion were investigated.

Measuring Bending Rigidity and Compression Resistance in Pickering Layers
-  30 June 2025
Graphical Abstract

This graphical abstract presents the mechanical response of Pickering layers of polystyrene beads (PBs) and clay particles (CPs) under compression. PBs exhibit buckling at 40–70 mN/m, whereas CPs show no buckling. Experimental force–compression curves highlight distinct deformation behaviors, and deviations in bending rigidity emphasize interparticle interactions in layer stability. 2

The use of natural and synthetic phospholipids as pharmaceutical excipients†
-  1088-1107
-  25 August 2014
Graphical Abstract

For selection of phospholipid excipients for pharmaceutical formulations, natural phospholipids are preferred compared to synthetic phospholipids because they are available at large scale with reproducible quality at lower costs of goods. They are well accepted by regulatory authorities and are produced using less chemicals and solvents at higher yields. In order to avoid scale up problems during pharmaceutical development and production, natural phospholipid excipients instead of synthetic phospholipids should be selected whenever possible.
