Stabilization of caffeine-loaded nanoliposomes via chitosan coating and spray drying for application in food products by Zahra Mehrabi-Khozani, Seid Mahdi Jafari, Khashayar Sarabandi, Atefe Rezaei, Yahya Maghsoudlou

“…Among different CAF concentrations (1–5 mg/mL) and various chitosan coatings (0.1–1.0 mg/mL), n-LPs loaded with 4 mg/mL CAF (n-LPs-4) and coated with 0.4 mg/mL chitosan (n-CTs-0.4) exhibited the best physical properties, encapsulation efficiency (EE), and antioxidant activity. Under different storage conditions (4 °C, 25 °C, 70 °C, and freeze-thaw), freeze-thaw stress had the most detrimental effect on structural stability and unintended CAF release. …”
