Abstract
Description
The excipients used for the formation of SP-SEDDS® systems are non-toxic and biodegradable (oily or oleaginous substances and cyclodextrins). The invention thus provides very simple and low-cost means for manufacturing new solid self-emulsifiable lipid systems. snapshots (SP-SEDDS®) usable in many sectors of 1 industry. The invention is aimed in particular at therapeutic applications where these new systems make it possible in particular to encapsulate active medicinal ingredients and constitute new galenic forms or any intermediate forms usable in the production of other forms of administration (capsules, granules, tablets, etc.) for oral administration. Another application of interest concerns the field of food supplements. Instant solid self-emulsifying lipid systems (SP-SEDDS®) can be used as is, when the oil used is rich in omega 3, omega 6, omega 9 (ALA, EPA, DHA, SDA, GLA or / and CLA) of animal, vegetable, marine or synthetic origin. New formulations of dietary products, foods or functional foods can be prepared. It should be noted that in these applications, the systems have the advantage of masking unpleasant odors and / or tastes and, on the other hand, allow the bioavailability of active ingredients to be improved by cyclodextrins. Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will be given in the examples which follow and which relate to embodiments of the invention using, by way of illustration, cyclodextrins and oils of vegetable, animal, plant or marine origin, as substances oily.

The procedure is as described in Example 1, but using 200 grams of linseed oil, 200 grams of α-cyclodextrins and 40 ml of water. Granules with an average size of 800 μm are obtained (Photo 2). Example 12: Formation of SP-SEDD^ from 35% (m / m) α-cyclodextrins and 65% (m / m) sunflower oils stabilized by an antioxidant (Herbalox XT-O). The procedure is as described in Example 1, but using 260 grams of sunflower oil loaded with 100 mg of oleoresin rosemary herbalox XT-O, 140 grams of α-cyclodextrins and 10 ml of water. Granules with an average size of 800 μm are obtained. Example 13: Preparation of SP-SEDD^ from a mixture of three cyclodextrins and linseed oil The procedure is as described in Example 1, but using a mixture of three cyclodextrins (a, p and y) in a ratio 1 / 1 / 1 which represents 50% of the total mass and 200 g of linseed oil.

Granules with an average size of 800 μm are obtained. Example 15: Preparation of SP-SEDD^ from a mixture vegetable oil and fish oil The procedure is as described in Example 1, but using a mixture of oils (camelina oil and Denomega® fish oil) in a 1 / 1 ratio which represents 50% of the total mass and 200 g of α-cyclodextrins. Granules with an average size of 800 μm are obtained. Example 16: Preparation and evaluation of stability of Inca inchi oil in the form of SP-SEDD^ The procedure is as described in Example 1, but using Inca inchi oil representing 50% of the total mass and 200 g of α-cyclodextrins. Granules with an average size of 800 μm are obtained. The stability of the granules is evaluated by the Rancimat Test (ISO 6886), the Rancimat Induction Time (IRT) (expressed in hours). The Rancimat test allows the stability of different fatty substances to be compared by determining their oxidation resistance time. The SP-SEDDS® system acts by delaying the initiation of oxidation. Comparing the induction times of a standard oil and an oil formulated in SP-SEDDS® form demonstrates the improved stability of SP-SEDDS® oils against oxidation. This evaluation using the Rancimat method shows that oils in SP-SEDDS® form have a stability factor 13 times greater than standard oils (Figure 5). Example 17 preparation and evaluation of the acid stability conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) at 37% and 50% (m / m) oil in the form of SP-SEDD^. The procedure is as described in Example 1, but using CLA, which represents 37 or 50% of the total mass, with the addition of 200 grams of α-cyclodextrins. Granules with an average size of 800 μm are obtained. The stability of the granules is assessed by the Rancimat Test (ISO 6886) This evaluation using the Rancimat method shows that oils in SP-SEDDS® form have a stability factor 3 times greater than standard oils at 37% for Polaris original oil and 2.8 times for Cognis original oil (Figure 6).
