Phospholipization
Phospholipids are amphoteric molecules composed of a hydrophilic head and a hydrophobic tail. Phospholipification technology is based on this amphoteric structure of phospholipids, combining them with other substances (such as drugs, nutritional components, etc.). Phospholipids can interact with hydrophilic substances through their heads or combine with hydrophobic substances through their tails. They can also form a lipid bilayer structure to enclose substances inside, such as when preparing liposomes, drugs and the like are encapsulated in vesicles formed by the phospholipid bilayer.
The field of medicine
Drug delivery: The production of phospholipid drugs or liposome drug carriers, such as doxorubicin liposomes, can enhance the stability of drugs, achieve targeted drug delivery, reduce the distribution of drugs in non-target tissues, and lower toxic and side effects.
Improving drug solubility: For some poorly soluble drugs, phospholipization technology can increase their solubility in water and enhance the bioavailability of the drugs.
The field of food
Nutritional fortification: Phospholipizing vitamins, minerals and other nutrients can enhance their stability and bioavailability. For instance, phospholipized vitamin E is more stable in food and is more easily absorbed by the human body.
Emulsification preservation: Phospholipids themselves are excellent emulsifiers. Phospholipized emulsifiers can be used in food processing to make the oil-water system more stable and also play a role in preservation, extending the shelf life of food.
The field of cosmetics
Enhanced skin care efficacy: Phospholipizing plant extracts, active peptides and other skin care ingredients can promote the transdermal absorption of these ingredients and enhance the skin care effect. For instance, phospholipized hyaluronic acid can better penetrate deep into the skin and exert a moisturizing effect.
Enhanced product stability: It helps improve the stability of cosmetics, prevent oxidation and deterioration of ingredients, and extend the shelf life of the products.
