Implication

Randomized trial reveals enhanced stability and targeted release of curcumin in colon, suggesting improved bioactive retention.

Key Points

  • This study aims to develop a porous starch-based Pickering emulsion for the colon-targeted delivery of curcumin.
  • Formulated a stable oil-in-water emulsion using 6% w/v porous starch and 1% w/v guar gum as the matrix.
  • Evaluated encapsulation efficiency, interfacial stabilization, and emulsion stability through microscopy and FTIR analysis.
  • Conducted shelf stability tests over 15 days at 4 ± 2°C to assess particle size and zeta potential.
  • The porous starch-based emulsion displayed encapsulation efficiency of 83.07% ± 2.03%.
  • Shelf stability tests showed maintained smaller particle size and higher zeta potential compared to native starch emulsion.
  • Demonstrated slower curcumin release kinetics under simulated gastrointestinal conditions.
