Abstract
Chitosan-tripolyphosphate and chitosan-alginate nanoparticles encapsulating (+)-catechin have been prepared and characterized. Using a novel method to evaluate the stability of the catechin within the nanoparticles, we found that the nanoparticles protect (+)- catechin from oxidative degradation in simulated intestinal fluids. In-vitro release studies demonstrated a pH dependent release of the catechin. These nanoparticles are therefore promising delivery systems to improve the oral bioavailability.
