of curcumin

Step 1 : PLGA is sprayed into

supercritical CO2, in which

nanoparticles are formed by

ultrasonic vibrations

Step 2 : PLGA-curcumin

nanocapsules were obtained with

an average size of 63 nm and 38%

loaded, under ultrasonic power of

210 W, and with an average size

of 40 nm and 36% of load, at an

ultrasound capacity of 350 W
