                                Technical Abstract: In our continued efforts to create biobased antioxidants for the food industry, we have used phospholipase D from Streptomyces sp. to create hydroxytyrosol and tyrosol phospholipids. Extrusion methods proved that both hydroxytyrosol phospholipids and tyrosol phospholipids each formed liposomes that were pH-dependent in size. Z-potential analysis demonstrated that the surface charge was well below the threshold of -25 mV for stable nanoparticles. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis demonstrated that both types of liposomes were spherical and had a single bilayer characteristic. Quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCMD) analysis demonstrated that both types of liposomes could form supported bilayers under proper cation (Ca2+) and pH conditions. Fluorescence anisotropy measurements indicate that melting temperatures of both lipids were below 4 °C, suggesting that adsorption behavior and liposome formation was limited by electrostatic interactions and not gel-state formation of phospholipids.
