Table 1 Characterization of the chitosan nanoparticles functionalized with β-CD containing CVC and LNL: mean diameter (MD) using the dynamic light scattering (DLS) and nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) techniques; polydispersity index (PDI); zeta potential (ZP); and concentration (CT). The values represent the means of three determinations.
