Abstract
Salix aegyptiaca is a flowering plant known as Musk Willow. For a long time S. aegyptiaca has been used in traditional medicines for the relief of anemia and vertigo, as a cardiotonic agent, as well as a fragrance additive in the preparation of local candies in the food industry. Encapsulation of materials in nanoliposomes can be used as a protective system of natural compounds during their processing and storage. In this study, in addition to preparing Musk willow essential oil nanoliposomes by Ethanol Injection method, the physical properties of Musk willow essential oil nanoliposomes were also investigated. Based on the results obtained, which included particle size in the range of 81 nm, zeta potential in the range of -47 mV and encapsulation efficiency of 99.2%, it can be stated that the smaller the size of the nano-encapsulated particles, the higher the probability of their bioavailability. According to the studies conducted and the results of the present study, it can be stated that the further the surface area of the nanoliposomes is from zero, the greater the repulsive force and the higher the stability of the nanoparticles, as a result of which the aggregation and agglutination of the particles is reduced. At negative zeta potential, safe materials are better retained within the encapsulation structure, therefore this method is recommended during various processes.
