Liposomes have been used primarily for drug delivery, and there has been only been limited development of this technology in the food industry. This volume helps to fill that gap by focusing on the advanced trends and applications of liposomes in the nutraceuticals and functional foods industry.
The volume begins by discussing the processes and protocols of formation of liposomes and the structures of liposomes produced by different methods. It then reviews their physico-chemical properties and the science of encapsulation of bioactive compounds using liposomes. It continues with an overview of liposomal methods, protocols, preparation techniques and explores the uses of liposomes as drug carriers but focuses primarily on liposomal carrier systems and technology in bioactive functional foods and nutraceuticals. The volume presents advances on liposomes as anti-tubercular and anticancer delivery systems and also discusses liposomal supplements.
Liposomes for Functional Foods and Nutraceuticals: From Research to Application will be a valuable resource for those who produce lipids and those who seek to incorporate them into appropriate food products.
