Abstract
A method of forming water soluble microparticles is disclosed that includes the steps of providing a water insoluble food supplement, mixing the food supplement in a water miscible polar solvent, heating the mixture to increase the solubility and dissolve the food supplement into the solvent to form a saturated solution, and streaming the solution into water to form a solvent-water mix such that microparticles of the food supplement are produced
Claims21
A method of forming water soluble microparticles comprising the steps of:
- providing a water insoluble food supplement;
- dissolving the food supplement in a water miscible polar solvent;
- mixing the solution into water to form a solvent-water mix so as to create microparticles of the food supplement.
A method of forming water soluble microparticles comprising the steps of:
- providing a water insoluble supplement in which individual molecules have a chain-like structure with a polar or hydrophilic end;
- dissolving the antioxidant in a water miscible polar solvent;
- mixing the solution into water to make a solvent-water mix so as to form microparticles of the antioxidant, each of the microparticles arranged with the polar or hydrophilic ends at a surface of the microparticles interacting with the water.
A water soluble microparticle with an outer lipid membrane encapsulating one or more micro-formed food supplements with surface receptors around the outer periphery.
A water soluble microparticle as claimed in claim wherein the one or more micro-formed food supplements include at least one of CoQ10, lutein, beta-carotene, resveratrol, tocopherol (vitamin E), retinol, retinol palmitate (vitamin A), and fish oils.
A water soluble microparticle including at least one food supplement in which individual molecules have a chain-like structure with a polar or hydrophilic end and the soluble microparticle is arranged with the hydrophilic ends at a surface of the microparticles for interacting with water.
