Description
Yinjie Ma and co-authors published this 2025 study comparing plant nanoparticles from fresh purslane against the dried herb. Plant-derived vesicles are chased for drug delivery, skincare, and functional foods, and makers extract them from both fresh and dried stock, yet nobody had compared what drying does to the cargo. The team isolated exosome-like particles from both forms of Portulaca oleracea.
Both batches looked like classic cup-shaped vesicles, the dried-source ones smaller at 139 nanometers against 186. Chemistry diverged: fresh-source particles carried more terpenoids, dried-source ones more citric-acid family compounds. Lipid menus differed too, with the dried batch richer and heavy in phosphatidylcholine and ceramide. The comparison tells producers the starting form is a real choice, not a detail.
