Overview

Randomized trial explores the antimicrobial effectiveness of babassu oil emulgels for curcumin delivery, suggesting new sustainable applications.

Key Points

  • This study aims to develop thermoresponsive emulgels using babassu oil for enhanced delivery of curcumin while addressing solubility and stability issues.
  • Developed thermoresponsive emulgels using Pluronic F127 and Carbopol 974P.
  • Characterized formulations for physicochemical and rheological properties.
  • Conducted biological assays against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Candida albicans.
  • FC1 showed the strongest preliminary inhibitory response in antimicrobial screening.
  • FC2 exhibited the most favorable cytocompatibility profile.
  • Formulations demonstrated improved curcumin dispersion and overall stability.
