A review: using nanoparticles to enhance absorption and bioavailability of phenolic phytochemicals

Li, Zheng, Jiang, Hong, Xu, Changmou, Gu, Liwei·2015·Food Hydrocolloids

Abstract

Phenolic phytochemicals have been of particular interests in food and pharmaceutical fields because they have potential to reduce the incidences of coronary heart disease, diabetes, cancers, and other chronic diseases. However, extremely low absorption rate of phenolic phytochemicals restricts their bioactivity in vivo. Such low absorption and bioavailability are due to their low water solubility, poor stability, passive diffusion, and active efflux in the gastrointestinal tract. Nanoparticle delivery system has been widely applied in pharmaceutical field to enhance absorption of bioactive compounds. This review explains absorption barriers of phenolic phytochemicals in the gastrointestinal tract. Nanoparticles delivery systems are emphasized regarding fabrication methods and their potential benefits on phenolic phytochemical absorption. Particularly, absorption mechanisms of nanoparticles by epithelial cells and biodistribution of nanoparticles after absorption are mainly discussed. Moreover, the potential challenges of nanoparticles as delivery system for phenolic phytochemicals in the gastrointestinal tract are also discussed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
