Anthocyanin Encapsulated Nanoparticles as a Pulmonary Delivery System

Figure 3

The physical and chemical characteristics of HB-CMC nanoparticles. (a) The effect of HB: CMC (w/w) ratio on the percentage anthocyanin encapsulation efficiency (EE) and the percentage loading capacity (LC). (b) The effect of pH on particle size, and (c) zeta potential of HB-CMC nanocarriers. The CMC nanoparticles are electrically neutral at pH 7.3. The results represent three independent experiments. HB: haskap berry anthocyanin; CMC: carboxymethyl chitosan.
