Inventor(s) include Mariyam Thahani; S. V. S. R. Lakshmi Lavanya; and Dr. Gayatri V.

The application for the patent was published on Feb. 27, under issue no. 09/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a green micelle-alginate bead based curcumin delivery system for enhancing the stability, antioxidant activity, and shelf life of milk. Curcumin is encapsulated within saponin-based nanomicelles derived from Sapindus mukorossi and immobilized in sodium alginate beads. Comparative studies with chemically synthesized SDS micelles demonstrate superior amorphization, molecular dispersion, and functional performance of the green formulation. The system exhibits enhanced antioxidant activity, delayed microbial growth in milk, and confirmed biocompatibility. The invention provides a safe, sustainable, and effective approach for curcumin delivery and functional milk preservation."
