In this article, the environmentally friendly preparation of “green nanocarriers” based on the combination of natural renewable materials is described. Cardanol (CA), obtained as the major byproduct of the cashew industry, and cholesterol (CH) have been used to encapsulate chlorogenic acids (CQAs), a class of natural phenolic compounds extracted from two different rowanberries (Sorbus Americana and Vaccinium sp.). The chlorogenic acid extracts and cardanol-based vesicular nanodispersions have been characterized, respectively, by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and dynamic light scattering (DLS).

Abstract
In this article, the environmentally friendly preparation of “green nanocarriers” based on the combination of natural renewable materials is described. Cardanol (CA), obtained as the major byproduct of the cashew industry, and cholesterol (CH) have been used to encapsulate chlorogenic acids (CQAs), a class of natural phenolic compounds extracted from two different rowanberries (Sorbus Americana and Vaccinium sp.). The chlorogenic acid extracts and cardanol-based vesicular nanodispersions have been characterized, respectively, by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and dynamic light scattering (DLS).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
