Abstract
PURPOSE: Vitamin D, a liposoluble vitamin has many benefits on health. Encapsulation of bioactives in lipid-based carrier systems like nanoliposomes preserves their native properties against oxidation over time along with providing its stable aqueous dispersion. METHODS: In the current study, vitamin D3 nanoliposomes were prepared using thin-film hydration-sonication method and fully characterized by different instrumental techniques. RESULTS: According to FTIR and DSC results, no interaction was observed between encapsulated nutraceutical and liposome constituents. The particle size and size distribution (Span value) were calculated 82-90 nm and 0.70-0.85, respectively. TEM analysis showed nano sized globular and bilayer vesicles. In all formations, the encapsulation efficiency of vitamin D3 was calculated more than 93%. Addition of cholesterol to lecithin bilayer increased the negative zeta potential from -29 to -43mV. CONCLUSION: The results of this study concluded that the liposomal nanoparticles may be introduced as a suitable carrier for fortification of beverages with vitamin D3.
