Academic projects undertaken
Project Title: “Preparation and characterization of vitamin B1 nanoliposomes by high speed homogenization method”.
Abstract: The aim of this project work was to prepare nanoparticles containing vitamin B1 by the high speed homogenization method and to study their physicochemical stability. Phosphatidyl choline was used as carrier material. Vitamin B1 nanoliposomes were characterized by particle size, Zeta potential, Encapsulation efficiency, Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), thermogravymetric analysis (TGA), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), and FTIR spectroscopy. Particle size and Zeta potential were evaluated for 28 days to study their stability.
