The aim of the present study was the characterization of silymarin and silibinin liposomes via determination of encapsulation efficiency, particle size, polydispersity index (PDI), zeta potential, mobility, and conductivity, as well as storage stability during 28 days at 4ºC and stability after UV irradiation. Encapsulation efficiencies of sil...
