Abstract

At the present an unprecedented interest in herbal healing is appearing everywhere. The Western world started to compare allopathic remedies (with many side effects) to the traditional ones and to acknowledge the latter as safer alternatives. In spite of their advantages, applications are slow to materialize, with poor solubility and low bioavailability being the main reasons. Natural products such as curcumin, hop extracts, essential oils are example of species with demonstrated biological activity but few applications due to unsatisfactory bioavailability correlated with low water solubility. Natural products with strong antioxidant effect, like polyphenols in teas, for example, are not widely used because of their sensitivity to oxidation (during processing and storage).
