Abstract:

FTIR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction pattern were used to analyze the spectroscopic properties of lycopene nanoliposomes prepared by conventional rotary-evaporated film-ultrasonication method. The native structure of lycopene was remained in lycopene nanoliposomes and its water solubility was improved in the nanoliposomal delivery system. The particle size of lycopene nanoliposomes was found to be below 40 nm. The results demonstrate that lycopene has been successfully encapsulated into nanoliposomes which have low particle size and are homogeneous.

Key words: lycopene, nanoliposomes, FTIR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction
