epsilon-Viniferin, a resveratrol dimer, is a naturally occurring stilbene that has been studied so far for its potential beneficial effects on human health. Its low water solubility, its photo-sensitivity and its low bioavailability make its applications in the food industry complicated. To overcome these limitations, epsilon-viniferin was encapsulated in phospholipid-based multi-lamellar liposomes (MLLs) called spherulites or onions. In the best case, an encapsulation efficiency of 58 +/- 3% and a bioactive loading of 4.2 +/- 0.5% were reached. Encapsulation of epsilon-viniferin drastically increased its water solubility by more than 5 orders to reach 17.4 g L-1 and provided protection against its UV-induced isomerization. While epsilon-viniferin was shown to be significantly toxic to Caco-2 intestinal-like cells for concentrations higher than 25 M, once encapsulated in MLLs, those cells did not experience any mortality even for the highest tested stilbene concentration (100 M) as revealed by red neutral assay.< Réduire
