the nitrogen gas to evaporate the traces of solvents, then mixed with oleic acid at a ratio of 1:2 (w/w) and added to the CS solution with 0.1-0.2 % tween 80 and mixed using the magnetic stirrer (REMI CM-101 plus, India) for 30 min. Then SA solution was added dropwise to the CS-lutein-oleic acid-tween 80 mixture, mixed for another 30 min and then sonicated using the probe sonicator (PCI, Mumbai, India) for 15 min at 50Hz on ice followed by high-speed homogenization at 15000 rpm for 5 min.2.6. Preparation of mixed micelleMixed micelles containing mono-oleoyl-glycerol (2.5 mM), sodium taurocholate (12 mM), oleic acid (7.5 mM) and lutein (600 μM) were prepared in phosphate buffered saline (10 mL). These chemicals and oleic acid were dissolved in chloroform and methanol to reach the final concentration. The solvents were evaporated to dryness using nitrogen. The micelle was resuspended in phosphate buffered saline (pH 7.4) with vigorous mixing using a vortex mixer (REMI CM-101 plus, India) followed by sonication (PCI, Mumbai, India) for 15 min to obtain a clear solution of mixed micelles [31,26].2.7. Characterization of LNCs2.7.1. HPLC and LC-MSPurified and extracted lutein form LNCs were analyzed by HPLC (Alliance 2690, Waters, UK). Standard lutein and lutein extracts from LNC were injected (20 μL) onto the HPLC system equipped with C-18 column (250*4.6 mm2; SGE company, Mumbai, India) and PDA detector. Lutein was separated using the mobile phase (acetonitrile/methanol/DCM; 6:2:2 v/v/v) containing 0.1% ammonium acetate at a flow rate of 1 mL/min by monitoring at 444 nm. To authenticate the mass spectrum of the purified lutein, LC-MS (Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Ionization mode; APCI+) was performed in positive ion mode as per Lakshminarayana et al. [27] with slight modifications. In brief, the positive ions are recoded using the HPLC system (Alliance 2695, Waters, UK) connected to a Q-Tof Ultima mass spectrometer (Waters 2996 Modular, UK) equipped with atmospheric pressure chemical ionization module (APCI+) and the source probe were heated at 130 °C and 500 °C respectively. The LC-MS conditions such as high voltage lens, corona, cone voltage, sheath, and nitrogen gas were optimized at 0.5 and 5KV, 30V and 100 and 300 L/h respectively. The spectrophotometer was calibrated in a positive ion mode and the (M + H) ion signals were recorded and confirmed against the standard lutein.2.7.2. Particle size analysis and zeta potential measurement of LNCsParticle size, polydispersity index (PDI) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) of LNCs were analyzed by particle size analyzer (Malvern nano Zs 90) and DLS zetasizer NanoZS (Malvern Instruments Ltd., Worcestershire, UK). Samples (in triplicate) were prepared by dispersing the LNCs (0.1 mL) in distilled water (10 mL) and further sonicating for 6 min using an ultrasonic water bath (PCI analytics, WC-01) to obtain a well-dispersed suspension. The instrument is furnished with the vertically polarised light source, and by an argon-ion laser before measuring the particle size and PDI at a fixed angle of 90° scattering at room temperature (27°C). Values are presented as mean ± SD. Zeta potential value of LNCs was (n=3) analyzed by electrophoretic light scattering at 25 °C, 150 V, and polydispersity index was also measured reflecting the width of the particle size distribution. The charge conductivity principle of particles was calculated to confirm the stability of the LNC [32]. Zeta potential was
