Nanoencapsulated <i>Dunaliella tertiolecta</i> Extract and β-Carotene in Liposomal Carriers: Antioxidant and Erythroprotective Potential Through Sustained-Release Systems.

ABSTRACT: The nanoencapsulation of bioactive compounds such as β-carotene and microalgal extracts has emerged as an effective strategy to enhance their stability, bioavailability, and biological efficacy, particularly against oxidative stress. Dunaliella tertiolecta, a microalga rich in carotenoids and chlorophylls, presents notable antioxidant and erythroprotective properties; however, its bioactive potential is limited by low bioaccessibility and degradation during processing and digestion. This study aimed to develop and evaluate nanoliposomes loaded with D. tertiolecta extract and β-carotene as sustained-release systems to improve antioxidant performance and erythroprotective effects. The methodology involved optimizing microalgal cultivation under nitrogen and salinity stress to e
