Sugarcane Light-Colored Lignin: A Renewable Resource for Sustainable Beauty
Mota, IF; Antunes, F; Fangueiro, JF; Carina Costa; Rodrigues, AE; Pintado, ME; Costa, PS<jats:p>Lignin has emerged as a promising eco-friendly multifunctional ingredient for cosmetic applications, due to its ability to protect against ultraviolet radiation and its antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. However, its typical dark color and low water solubility limit its application in cosmetics. This study presents a simple process for obtaining light-colored lignin (LCLig) from sugarcane bagasse...
Design of cationic lipid nanoparticles for ocular delivery: Development, charac...
Fangueiro, JF; Andreani, T; Egea, MA; Garcia, ML; Souto, SB; Silva, AM; Souto, EBIn the present study we have developed lipid nanoparticle (LN) dispersions based on a multiple emulsion technique for encapsulation of hydrophilic drugs or/and proteins by a full factorial design. In order to increase ocular retention time and mucoadhesion by electrostatic attraction, a cationic lipid, namely cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), was added in the lipid matrix of the optimal LN dispersion obtai...
