Quantification of Nigella Sativa Oil (nso) From Biodegradable Plga Nanoparticles Using Ftir Spectroscopy
Year: 2014
Type: article
Abstract: Objective: Quantification of medicinal plant, N. sativa oil, in biodegradable nanoparticles fabricated from PLGA and chitosan was impossible due to the difficulty in the oil extraction-partition method of which the nanoparticle did not dissolve in any solvent. Methods: FTIR method was developed to quantify the loading efficiency of NSO from the intact nanoparticles without the need to solubilise the nanoparticles and extract the NSO thereafter. Beer-Lambert law was applied in the quantification following selection of a few wave number combinations. Results: The method exhibited linearity in the range NSO/PLGA=5-150% with R
