Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). Thermal characteristics of BER/CH-NPs, CRE/CH-NPs, and CH-NPs of BER and CRE in crude and nanoparticles. (A) crude BER, (B) crude CRE, (C) CH-NPs, (D) BER/CH-NPs, (E) CRE/CH-NPs. The thermogram of berberine chloride shows peaks at 123.12 °C, 162.35 °C, and 205.86 °C, indicating crystallinity. CRE has a peak at 121.79 °C, also indicating crystallinity. CH-NPs show a broad peak at 95.50 °C. BER/CH-NPs and CRE/CH-NPs show broader peaks at 142.10 °C and 90.30 °C, indicating polymer interaction and homogeneous encapsulation with lower crystallinity and higher hydrophobicity than the crude forms.
