The limited aqueous solubility of bioactive pharmaceutical ingredients poses a significant challenge in the development of new drugs. In recent years, innovative methods have emerged to safeguard these sensitive bioactive compounds, particularly antioxidants, with the goal of improving public sanitation grades. Emulsion-based systems, particularly colloidal delivery encapsulation systems, have gained significant interest as they offer a versatile and efficient means of delivering these compounds from food-grade ingredients through relatively simple processing protocols. These systems are highly favorable for enhancing the solubility of phytochemicals, nutraceuticals, and food additives.
Emulsion-based Encapsulation of Antioxidants: Design and Performance delves into the realm of colloid science by exploring the influence of formulation and process parameters on the production of emulsions. This comprehensive book provides a deeper understanding of the technological and biological aspects of incorporating encapsulated compounds into food matrices, elucidating their activity. The chapters offer a comprehensive overview of the current status of emulsion-based formulations for encapsulating antioxidants, their fabrication, properties, applications, and biological fate, with a particular emphasis on systems suitable for industrial applications.
One of the key advantages of emulsion-based systems is their ability to preserve the antioxidant activity of the carriers, which is considered a significant advantage. The book aims to inspire and guide fellow scientists and students in this field. It is extensively illustrated, featuring figures, case studies, practical examples, and historical perspectives. Additionally, the book serves as a practical handbook for graduate students and a valuable resource for industry professionals seeking to enhance industrial pharmaceutical production.
In conclusion, Emulsion-based Encapsulation of Antioxidants: Design and Performance is a valuable contribution to the field of colloid science. By examining the effects of formulation and process parameters on emulsion production, the book offers a comprehensive understanding of the technological and biological aspects of incorporating encapsulated compounds into food matrices. With its emphasis on antioxidant activity, practical examples, and industry-relevant applications, this book serves as a valuable resource for scientists, students, and industry professionals alike.
