아스타잔틴을 포함하는 수중유형 형태의 나노에멀젼을 고압균질기를 이용하여 제조하였다. 이에 유화조건, 유화제 종류, 유화제 농도 그리고 아스타잔틴 농도에 따라 최적화를 되었다. 나노에멀젼의 안정성은 제타포텐셜, FF-SEM, 입도분석기, 색차계를 이용하여 측정하였다. 제조된 아스타잔틴 나노에멀젼의 입도는 160 ~190 nm로 균일하였으며 레시친에 의한 나노에멀젼 보다 glyceryl citrate/lactate/linoleate/oleate에 의한 나노에멀젼이 더욱 안정하고 균일한 입도분포를 가졌다. 아스타잔틴의 봉입도는 HPLC, FF-SEM을 이용하여 확인 하였으며, 제형 구성 후 보관조건에서의 안정도 및 제타 포텐셜 값도 -41의 우수한 결과를 나타내었다.

Previously, the wheat non-specific lipid transfer proteins (TaLTP), members of a small multigene family, appear to show a complex pattern of expression regulation. For further assessment of expression diversity of the TaLTP genes, we have attempted to evaluate their expression profiles of responses to abiotic stresses via the semi-quantitative RT-PCR method. The expression profiles revealed that the TaLTP genes in group A evidenced highly similar (but not identical) responses against abiotic stresses, whereas much differential expression pattern among genes in each group. The four promoters of TaLTP1, TaLTP7, and TaLTP10 of group A and TaLTP3 of group B were fused to a GUS reporter gene and the recombinant genes were introduced into Arabidopsis. The promoters of TaLTP1, TaLTP7 and TaLTP10 of group A, drove strong but various GUS expression in cotyledons, hypocotyls, epidemic and sub-epidemic cells of young shoots and leaves, floral organs as well as siliques. By contrast, the promoter of TaLTP3 just directed trace expression in cotyledons, young emerged leaves and epidemic cells of flower ovaries. The promoter of TaLTP1 directed the expression in root system whereas the promoters of TaLTP1 and TaLTP10 showed some degree of expression during seed development. The expression diversity of TaLTP genes suggests their multiple physiological functions, evidencing subfunctionalization over evolutionary time.
