Pollen grains as a novel microcarrier for oral delivery of proteins

In conclusion, upon use of a protein-friendly solvent for Eudragit L100-55, proteins could be encapsulated in ragweed pollen without denaturing them, and the resulting formulation exhibited selective release of the proteins at intestinal pH suggesting that the ragweed pollen grain-based formulation could be promising for oral delivery of proteins.Graphical abstract
