PROCESS FOR PREPARING ENCAPSULATED CURCUMIN NANOPARTICLES AND APPLICATIONS THEREOF.

摘要

The present invention provides a process for preparation of encapsulated curcumin nanoparticles using curcumin, a surfactant, a polymer, and a cross-linker. The process is simple and does not require any extensive equipment. The process is cost effective and economical. The encapsulated nanoparticles prepared by the process have high loading capacity, and high bioavailability in aqueous media. They are used in treatment of heavy metal poisoning or preparation of a medicament for heavy metal poisoning.
