Study on the preparation of bovine milk exosomes and the stability of lyophilized powder

Abstract

ABSTRACTBovune milk exosomes (MK-exo) have bioactive effects on the health of consumers and can also serve as excellent drug delivery vehicles. However, long-term preservation and transportation remain major challenges at present. In this report, high-quality MK-exo are prepared on a large scale. We then developed a lyophilization method belonging to MK-exo, and performed acceleration and long-term stability experiments on the lyophilized MK-exo to evaluate the effect of lyophilization. The results showed that the lyophilized MK-exo can be stored at room temperature for at least 3 months and 2-8°C℃ for 15 months. These findings provide data support for further understanding of the properties and applications of MK-exo.
