When the surfactant is dissolved in an aqueous solution, it forms aggregate called micelles (<20 nm) in the solution, and micelles can form the solubilized formulation by supporting the active ingredient therein. Swollen micelles are formulations capable of carrying larger amounts of active ingredient than conventional solubilized formulations at 50~100 nm. Unlike liposomes or nanoemulsions, which require a separate process such as high pressure emulsification, Swollen micelle is a more efficient method of solubilization and particle formation from a productive point of view. In this study, stabilization experiments on swollen micelle formulations were carried out using poloxamer 407, and then optimized formulation experiments for tocopheryl acetate components were performed using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). Tocopheryl acetate, a surfactant that affects solubilization and an active substance, were set as a factor and the correlation between them was confirmed. As the evaluation method, stability and particle size distribution and size were confirmed by temperature and time, and the structure and shape of the swollen micelle carrying the active ingredient were confirmed by FIB. These results show that poloxamer 407 0.500%, octyldodeceth-16 0.387% and tocopheryl acetate 0.945% are the most optimized prescriptions for swollen micelle stabilized with tocopheryl acetate.

The purpose of this study is to measure the yield and to evaluate the physiological activity of Cannabis sativa seed(Hemp seed) extracts extracted using a density fluctuation supercritical carbon dioxide for each temperature condition-30℃(HSSE30), 45℃(HSSE45), 60℃(HSSE60), and to enable dissolution of the poorly water-soluble extracts by liposome formulation and to enhance the skin permeability. As a result of the yield measurement, HSSE60 showed the highest yield, and in the antioxidant activities, HSSE45 had the highest total polyphenol content, and showed the highest DPPH, ABTS+ radical scavenging activities at the highest concentration of the extracts. As a result of the antimicrobial susceptibility testing, a clear zone appeared only in the Propionibateium acnes strain. It was confirmed that particle size was reduced and the absolute value of the zeta potential increased in the case of the formulation in which the extracts were in liposomes than in the formulation in which the extracts were dissolved in deionized water, and the skin permeability was improved. Based on these experimental results, we confirmed the possibility of using the hemp seed supercritical carbon dioxide extracts, a poorly water-soluble extract, can be applied as a functional natural material for cosmetics.

In this article, we investigate into the structural changes of liposome to design its functional membranes by the synthesis of two types of liposomes, DPPC liposome and DTAB of hydrocarbon substance/DPPC liposome. The changes of membrane structures are evaluated by the CF fluorescent intensity measured above and below the phase transition temperature of the membrane, $t_c=41^{\circ}C$. CF fluorescent intensities are enhanced by the CF leakage from DPPC liposome at $45^{\circ}C$, while no changes are observed at $20^{\circ}C$. Under the same conditions, it is observed that the intensity enhanced by CF leakage from DPPC/DTAB liposome is larger than that of DPPC liposome alone, which suggests that DPPC/DTAB liposome has irregular arrangement. Under the presence of $Ca^{2+}$, Quin 2 fluorescent intensity in either DPPC liposome or DPPC/DTAB liposome is significantly increasing at $45^{\circ}C$, while almost none of the changes are observed at $20^{\circ}C$. The fluorescent intensity of DPPC liposome turns out to be larger than that of DPPC/DTAB liposome, which suggests that the DPPC/DTAB liposome is structurally more stable than the DPPC liposome. Additionally, when the analysis is done to observe changes in the shapes of membrane surfaces with ANS fluorescent, ANS fluorescent under DPPC or DPPC/DTAB liposome shows each of different appearances at $45^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$ respectively. This result indicates that its respective membrane fluidity is changing above and below of the designated temperatures in phase transition. As to the magnitude of change of its membrane fluidity, DPPC liposome is much larger than DPPC/DTAB liposome. As far as the temperature in phase transition measured by DSC are concerned, it is $41^{\circ}C$ and $32^{\circ}C$ for DPPC and DPPC/DTAB liposome respectively, which suggests that DPPC/DTAB liposome has an irregular molecular arrangement in its structure. That is, it is summed up that DPPC/DTAB turns out to be structurally stable, even so, its structure is irregularly arranged.

Fish skin peptide-loaded liposomes were prepared in 100 mL and 1 L solution as lab scales, and 10 L solution as a prototype scale. The particle size and zeta potential were measured to determine the optimal conditions for the production of fish skin peptide-loaded liposome. The liposome was manufactured by the following conditions: (1) primary homogenization at 4,000 rpm, 8,000 rpm, and 12,000 rpm for 3 minutes; (2) secondary homogenization at 40 watt (W), 60 W, and 80 W for 3 minutes. From this experimental design, the optimal conditions of homogenization were selected as 4,000 rpm and 60 W. For the next step, fish peptides were prepared as the concentrations of 3, 6, and 12% at the optimum manufacturing conditions of liposome and stored at $4^{\circ}C$. Particle size, polydispersion index (pdI), and zeta potential of peptide-loaded liposome were measured for its stability. Particle size increased significantly as manufacture scale and peptide concentration increased, and decreased over storage time. The zeta potential results increased as storage time increased at 10 L scale. In addition, 12% peptide showed the formation of a sediment layer after 3 weeks, and 6% peptide was considered to be the most suitable for industrial application.
