The water content of the samples was determined using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) by measuring the weight loss in the temperature range of 50 to 200 °C.
To assess the stability of the complex, dried samples obtained from a pressure chamber were subjected to lyophilization using a Biobase BK-FD10P, China, freeze dryer. The thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was performed on all samples using 5 mg of each sample to evaluate the chemical characteristics of the degradation process. The TGA measurements were conducted using an STD 650 (TA Instruments Thermal Analyzer, New Castle, DE, USA). Each sample was heated at a constant rate of 10 °C/min in the presence of air as the reactive gas with a mass flow of 50 mL/min. Additionally, a protective gas of N2 at a flow rate of 50 mL/min was used in the electronic balance.

PE-loaded sphingosomes were prepared by the thin-film hydration method with modifications [23 (link)]. The specific weight of the SM and Cholesterol in a weight ratio of (55:45 w/w) was dissolved in 8 mL of chloroform. While the PE (40.2 mg) was dissolved in 2 mL of methanol. Both solutions were then mixed and placed in a round bottom flask. The mixture was evaporated at 65°C in a rotary evaporator (Laborota 4000 efficient, Heidolph, Germany) at 100 rpm under reduced pressure until a dry thin film was obtained on the walls of the flask. Then, 5 mL of PBS (pH 7.4) was added to the film, sonicated for 5 min., and left for 2 hrs for complete hydration. The resultant milky white sphingosomal dispersions of all the formulas were then lyophilized using a BK-FD10P freeze drier (Biobase, China). The system was cooled to—46 C°, under a vacuum pressure of 1pa for 36 hrs. The dried powdered samples were then stored at 4 ± 2°C and utilized for further investigations.
The compositions of the prepared formulations are shown in Table 1 and the procedure of the preparation is summarized in Fig 2.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The fresh fruit’s pericarps and seeds of Punica granatum L were separated and weighed (1.49 kg and 1.3 kg, respectively). The pericarps were then air-dried and powdered. The powder was divided equally and was macerated exhaustively by cold maceration using absolute ethanol (3L) and distilled water (1L), while the seeds were mixed separately with absolute ethanol (2L) and distilled water (1L) using a blender. All extracts were filtered. The ethanolic extracts were separately evaporated at 60°C under reduced pressure, using a rotary evaporator.
On the other hand, the aqueous extracts were freeze-dried at -46 C°, under 1 pa, and for 36 hrs using a lyophilizer (BK-FD10P, Biobase, China). All extracts were stored in the fridge at 4°C for further analysis.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Chitosan solution (1.5% w/v) was prepared by dissolving chitosan in 1% (v/v) glacial acetic acid solution. After complete dissolution, the solution was centrifuged at 4000 rpm for 5 min to clear any heterogeneous impurities in the solution. Simultaneously, 0.75% (w/v) solution of sodium bisulfate was prepared in double distilled water. A 1 mg/mL solution of HT was prepared in double distilled water and added drop by drop to chitosan solution under continuous stirring using a magnetic stirrer. The stirring was continued for 10 min before adding the sodium bisulfate solution slowly into the chitosan-HT mixture and the stirring was continued for 1 h at ambient temperature (25 ± 1 °C). Finally, the solution containing HT nanocapsules was ultrasonicated for 5 min at 40 kHz and frozen to −18 °C before subjecting it to freeze drying (BIOBASE, BK-FD10P). The control sample was prepared without including HT in the nanocapsules. The HTS1 and HTS2 samples included 5 mg/g and 20 mg/g of HT in the finally dried nanoencapsulated powders, respectively. All the freeze dried samples were sealed in air tight containers and stored at −18 ℃ till further analysis.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
