Liposomes for Nanodelivery Systems in Food Products

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Nanoscience for Sustainable Agriculture

Abstract

Nanotechnology has the prospective to offer novel solutions in the agriculture and food sectors. Food nanotechnology is increasingly gaining attention owing to opportunity of further improvements in development of novel and innovative and healthy foods. Nano-structured materials find promising applications in encapsulation of elements in the food and packaging thereof. Polymeric nanoparticles, liposomes, microemulsions, and nanoemulsions are among the nano-structured systems that have embraced the food sector. These materials have a great potential to elevate bio-accessibility, increase dissolving capacity, assisting commendable release, and safeguard food ingredients throughout the process from production to storage. In this chapter, the applications of nanoliposomes for their encapsulation and controlled release of food materials with enhancing the bioavailability are discussed. Additionally, their role as nanodelivery system for nutrients, nutraceuticals, enzymes, and food antimicrobials has been reviewed. Further, an outlook on the recent applications and their prospects in food technology and science has been emphasized.
