Brief Explanation
Liposomes, with a dimension range from 5 to 200 nm, are identified as phospholipid vesicles that have a bilayer construction, and these vesicles consist of dispersing lipophilic molecules, such as concentric lipids, into water. The basic constituent of liposomes is phospholipids with biodegradable and biocompatible characteristics, bearing resemblance to the lipids present in cellular membranes, which are amphiphilic molecules containing a hydrophobic tail section and hydrophilic head section. Owing to the hydrophobic tail and the hydrophilic head section phospholipids enable a various range of active pharmaceutical ingredients to be encapsulated by them. The phospholipids we use in the production of liposomes are phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phosphatidylserine (PS), phosphatidylinositol (PI) and phosphatidylglycerol (PG). We mass-produce our liposomes for the food, cosmetic and dietary supplement industries.
