Nanostructures play a major role in the recent strategies of technology suitable for novel drug applications. In this work, clindamycin phosphate (CliP) (topical anti-inflammatory drug), xanthan gum (XaG) (biopolymer) and ZnO (zinc oxide) (nanoparticle) nanostructures were synthesised using the sonochemical technique at room temperature. The characterization of the clindamycin phosphate- xanthan gum/ZnO (CliP-XaG/ZnO) nanostructure has been carried out by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The spectroscopic experiments elucidated in vitro the mechanism of drug delivery system at different pH media (1.2 and 7.4). In this study, the concentration of drug in the solution was analyzed by UV–vis spectroscopy method and several kinetic models and error analysis were calculated to prove a connection with results. The Higuchi model had the best correlation parameters. The percentage of swelling ratio (%) reached up 105% in XaG (pH 1.2) and 190% in XaG/ZnO (pH 1.2) And the swelling ratio (%) reached up 530% within in XaG (pH 7.4) and 655% within in XaG/ZnO (pH 7.4).

The cold pressed seed oils known as coffee bean, pomegranate, cherry, apricot, and fig kernels which are produced in the domestic market of Turkey were bought to determine the quality characteristics such as peroxide values, free fatty acidity, and UV-specific absorption values, total phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity of these seed oils. When the peroxide values were examined, the highest peroxide value was found in coffee bean oil and the lowest peroxide value was found in pomegranate seed oil. When the free fatty acidity is considered, the number of free fatty acids is ranked from the highest to the lowest as coffee bean oil, fig kernel oil, sour cherry seed oil, pomegranate seed oil, and apricot kernel oil. The K 232 value was found to be the highest in coffee bean oil while it was the lowest in apricot kernel oil. K 270 values were the highest in pomegranate seed and the lowest in the apricot kernel. As seen in the results of the total phenolic compound analysis performed to recognize the effects on health, this value was highest in coffee bean oil, followed by apricot kernel oil, fig kernel oil, pomegranate seed oil, and sour cherry seed oil. When the results antioxidant activity analysis were examined, the antioxidant activity of apricot kernel oil was found to be the lowest, while this value of fig kernel oil was found to be the highest. According to the analysis of variance, these differences were statistically found to be significant. In addition, these values were compared with the studies in the literature and evaluated according to the legal limits.
