The use of antioxidants such as curcumin (Cur) or quercetin (Que) in biomedical and biotechnological applications has been studied owing to their capability to prevent oxidative stress and inhibit free radicals. Using polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) electrospun fibers is presented as a proper option to encapsulate curcumin and quercetin due to its biocom...

Antioxidants can be encapsulated to enhance their solubility or bioavailability or to protect them from external factors. Electrospinning has proven to be an excellent option for applications in nanotechnology, as electrospun nanofibers can provide the necessary environment for antioxidant encapsulation. Forty-nine papers related to antioxidants lo...
