betadex and anethole

A combined approach based on cyclodextrin/drug inclusion complex formation and loading into liposomes was applied to improve the effectiveness of liposome loading with essential oils. Hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin/ANE (HP-β-CD/ANE) inclusion complexes were prepared and encapsulated into liposomes (ACL). ANE-double-loaded liposomes (ACL2) were obtained with the HP-β-CD/ANE complex in the aqueous phase and ANE in the organic phase. Liposomes were prepared from saturated (Phospholipon 90H) or unsaturated (Lipoid S100) phospholipids and characterized for size, polydispersity index, zeta potential, morphology, loading rate (LR) and photo- and storage stabilities. All liposome batches were nanometric oligolamellar-type vesicles. Compared to ANE-loaded liposomes, ACL-90H, ACL2-90H and ACL2-S100 displayed significantly increased ANE LR, with ACL2-S100 exhibiting the highest LR. All formulations provided ANE photoprotection, were physically stable after 15months of storage at 4°C (with the exception of ACL2-S100), and retained more than 25% of the ANE initially present in the liposome suspensions.

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the preparation method, temperature and humidity on the release of aroma from β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) solid inclusion complexes (IC). Therefore β-CD/trans-anethole (β-CD/AN) IC were prepared by freeze-drying (FD) and co-precipitation coupled to FD (Cop-FD). Release experiments were performed at various temperatures and relative humidities (RH). Multiple headspace extraction-gas chromatography (MHE) was used to determine the loading capacity (LC) and encapsulation efficiency (EE%) and perform release studies. Results underlined that the quantification of encapsulated AN by MHE requires the IC dissolution. The release of AN was accelerated by increases in RH and temperature. However, it was quite negligible below 75% RH. The release behavior of AN was well simulated by Avrami's equation. Cop-FD IC retained more efficiently AN and the release depended on the preparation method and treatment conditions. Thus, the preparation method could be chosen based on the application.
