Summary: The structure, stability, and rheological properties of nanoemulsions stabilized with carrageenan were investigated. The addition of carrageenan significantly improved the stability of the nanoemulsions by trapping oil droplet flocs and preventing further flocculation and creaming. The rheological behavior of the nanoemulsions varied with the concentration of carrageenan, showing Newtonian-like behavior at lower concentrations and pseudoplastic non-Newtonian behavior at higher concentrations.

Summary: Different nanoemulsion (NE) formulations were prepared to achieve a stable and efficient aqueous colloidal dispersion of ethyl ferulate (EF), which is immiscible with water. The NE samples, selected from a pseudo-ternary phase diagram, exhibited physical stability and controlled drug release. In vivo experiments with rats showed the biocompatibility and anti-inflammatory effect of the EF nanoemulsion. This study suggests the potential of EF nanoemulsion as a novel drug delivery system for topical anti-inflammatory application.

Summary: In this study, a stable and high-quality curcumin-loaded oil/water nanoemulsion was successfully developed using concentration-mediated catastrophic phase inversion as a low energy nanoemulsification strategy. A design of experiments and multiple linear regression model were utilized to analyze the effects of process parameters on the mechanical input required and long-term product quality. The optimal manufacturing process was found to have a low temperature (25 degrees C), high titration rate (9 g/minute), and low stir rate (100 rpm), resulting in nanoemulsions with high quality.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of asphaltene, resin, and petroleum acid on the phase inversion, stability, and oil-water interface characteristics of emulsions. The synergy of asphaltene and resin is found to be the key to the emulsion phase inversion, with the optimal ratio being 1:3. The addition of petroleum acid accelerates the phase inversion process. Asphaltene and resin synergistically reduce the interfacial tension of oil and water, while excessive resin increases the interfacial tension by competing with asphaltene for adsorption. The addition of petroleum acid significantly decreases the interfacial tension. Asphaltene has a greater influence on the expansion modulus than resin, and the synergistic effect of asphaltene and resin increases the expansion modulus. However, the addition of petroleum acid decreases the expansion modulus due to its small molecular weight. The synergy of asphaltene and resin enhances the emulsion stability, with asphaltene playing a pivotal role in stabilizing the emulsion. On the other hand, the addition of petroleum acid severely destroys the emulsion stability.

Summary: The bioaccessibility of lutein is significantly increased when consumed with excipient nanoemulsions, compared to when consumed alone in capsules or soft gels. Lutein-loaded nanoemulsions exhibit the highest bioaccessibility, attributed to the rapid release and solubilization of lutein within the small intestine. These findings provide important insights for designing more effective lutein supplements.

Summary: The engine performance and emission characteristics of soybean oil biodiesel emulsions prepared through the phase inversion temperature method were compared with those of neat soybean oil biodiesel and mechanical homogenization method-prepared emulsion. The results showed that the phase inversion temperature method had higher O2 and NOx emissions, higher excess air ratio, higher exhaust gas temperature, and higher brake fuel conversion efficiency, while the mechanical homogenization method had lower CO and CO2 emissions, lower equivalence ratio, and lower brake-specific fuel consumption. However, neat soybean oil biodiesel had the lowest fuel consumption rate, brake-specific fuel consumption, and CO and CO2 emissions, but the highest exhaust gas temperature, brake fuel conversion efficiency, NOx and O2 emissions, and excess air ratio. Therefore, the phase inversion temperature method is considered a promising alternative to petro-derived diesel for compression-ignition engines.

Summary: Plasma protein binding plays a crucial role in the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of therapeutic bioactive materials. In this study, the interaction of nordentatin, a member of coumarins, with human alpha-1 acid glycoprotein (AGP) was investigated, and the anticancer potency of nordentatin against human colorectal cancer cells was evaluated. The results showed that nordentatin binds to AGP through a static quenching mechanism and exhibits inhibitory effects on the growth of HCT-116 cells by increasing intracellular ROS and [Ca2+] levels and triggering apoptosis-related gene overexpression. Therefore, nordentatin could be a promising plant-based therapy for colorectal cancer.
