The Physicochemical and Cytotoxicity of Emulsified Virgin Coconut Oil and Its Molecular study on COX-2 Inhibition: A Computer Aided Drug Design Approach

Virgin coconut oil (VCO) has attracted many interests for research due to it having outstanding health benefits and potential for cosmetics, drugs, and nutraceuticals. Virgin coconut emulsion (VCE) is an advanced, nanosized form of VCO with increased bioavailability. The oil-in-water type of emulsif...
