ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY OF BIOACTIVE MOLECULES IN HOMOGENEOUS AND HETEROGENEOUS MEDIA

摘要

In recent decades there is an increasing interest from the food industry towards edible water-in-oil (W/O) systems that resemble the structure of plant oils [1], which can solubilize bioactive molecules of different polarity. In this context, carriers of antioxidants (AOs) that could possibly optimize their activity in different environments are particularly necessary [2]. The use of a W/O microemulsion as a carrier of AOs could be a solution.
