Table 2 Analysis of niosome NPs containing solanine. Determination of hydrodynamic diameter of niosome-solanine NPs by DLS and zeta potential of nisome-solanine NPs with zetasizer

1

Polydispersity index (PDI)

0.452

0.1 to 0.25 most acceptable

0.25 to 0.5 acceptable

0.5 to 0.75 poor acceptable

0.75 to 1.00 not acceptable

acceptable

2

Surface charge (mV)

60.7 mV

*The general dividing line between stable and unstable suspensions is generally taken at either + 30 or -30 mV. Particles with zeta potentials more positive than + 30 mV or more negative than − 30 mV are normally considered stable.

stable

3

FeSEM (nm)

26 nm

**Typically, they have a size between 1 and 100 nm that permits a longer circulation half-life in vivo.

Good

4

DLS (nm)

50–70 nm

Good
