Lipid/detergent mixed micelles as a tool for transferring antioxidant power from hydrophobic natural extracts into bio-deliverable liposome carriers: The case of lycopene rich oleoresins

This work demonstrates that lipid-detergent mixed micelles can be employed successfully in order to achieve and modulate the transfer of bio-active hydrophobic compounds into lipid carriers by means of a simple and bio-safe procedure. In our specific investigation, liposome preparations incorporating mixture
