Encapsulation and controlled release of bioactive compounds in lactoferrin-glycomacropeptide nanohydrogels : curcumin and caffeine as model compounds

Curcumin and caffeine (used as lipophilic and hydrophilic model compounds, respectively) were successfully encapsulated in lactoferrin-glycomacropeptide (Lf-GMP) nanohydrogels by thermal gelation showing high encapsulation efficiencies (>90 %). FTIR spectroscopy confirmed the encapsulation of bio...
