Current Trends in Green Nano-Emulsions: Food, Agriculture and Biomedical Sectors

本書全面概述了綠色合成和萃取納米乳液的最新發展，這些納米乳液在食品、農業、生物醫學和化妝品等領域有著廣泛的應用。在食品和農業部分，本書展示了納米乳液在傳遞營養補充劑、著色劑和香料方面的應用，並在生物可降解塗層的開發、改善包裝薄膜的質量以及延長食品的保質期和營養價值方面的貢獻。它還顯示，納米乳液在農藥配方中表現出色，能提高難溶於水的農藥的溶解度，從而使其生物活性較傳統農藥更高。在生物醫學應用部分，各章節顯示納米乳液能夠溶解疏水性藥物，並被用作多種癌症治療的藥物傳遞系統，如肺癌、乳腺癌、前列腺癌、肝癌和胃癌。此外，納米乳液也是包裹藥物或成像探針以實現靶向傳遞和免疫療法的優秀候選者。本書適合對納米技術、納米醫學、環境科學、植物科學、農業、化學、生物技術、藥用植物學、製藥、工業化學及其他多學科主題感興趣的科學家、研究人員和學生。
