Olive Oil Based Nanoemulsion as a Potential Therapy for Advanced Wound Care
摘要
Prolonged wound healing often leads to the formation of necrotic tissue, which promotes the growth of bacteria and inflammation by extending the healing period of the wound. Carbon Quantum Dot and Extra Virgin Olive oil nanoemulsion of about 30 nm are combined for wound care. The optical properties of the Carbon quantum dots were analyzed with surface morphology and components of the bioactive nanoemulsion were characterized via XRD, FTIR, FESEM and TEM. Synthesized nanoemulsion exhibited good antimicrobial activity and this study reveals the broad-spectrum antioxidant properties of nanoemulsion that neutralize free-radicals and reduce oxidative stress, accelerating wound healing and lowering the risk of secondary infections. Photocatalytic nanoemulsions could rupture bacterial cell membranes and release reactive oxygen species, which can limit bacterial growth by establishing a sterile environment for healing. This bioactive nanoemulsion could be a quantum leap on advanced wound care providing a promising opportunity for advanced wound therapy research.
