Structural Characterization and Digestibility of Curcumin Loaded Octenyl Succinic Nanoparticles

Structural Characterization and Digestibility of Curcumin Loaded Octenyl Succinic Nanoparticles

Curcumin displays anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory and anti-obesity properties but its water insolubility limits the wholesome utility. In this study, curcumin has been encapsulated in an amphiphilic biopolymer to enhance its water solubility. This was accomplished through self-assembly of octenyl suc...
