Nano/microencapsulation of anthocyanins; a systematic review and meta-analysis

Sharif, Niloufar, Khoshnoudi-Nia, Sara, Jafari, Seid Mahdi·2020·Food Research International

Abstract

Anthocyanins, a kind of phenolic compounds are present in plant kingdom. They exhibit biological activities such as anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties as well as imparting colors to various plants. The objective of this review is to provide a systematic evaluation of the evidence and a meta-analysis of published researches on the nano/microencapsulation of anthocyanins. A comprehensive literature search was conducted for articles published in 2016 to 2019 on PubMed, Web of Sciences and Scopus databases. Overall 45 eligible articles (51 cases; some authors studied 2 or more encapsulation methods) with appropriate data were included in the statistical analysis. In the current work, based on the technique and equipment applied for the formulation of micro/nanoencapsulation systems, the anthocyanin-loaded nano/microcarriers were classified into five main classes: (a) spray dried particles (spray-drying); (b) freeze-dried particles (freeze-drying); (c) lipid-based particles (emulsification and liposomal encapsulation); (d) electrospun fibers and electrosprayed particles (electrohydrodynamic encapsulation); and (e) nano/micro-gels (gelation). Based on the results from the meta-analysis, the studied technique for encapsulation of anthocyanins can be ordered as: spray-drying (33.33%), freeze-drying (27.08%), gelation (20.83%), lipid-based particles (14.58%) and electrohydrodynamic processes (4.17%). In addition, carbohydrates such as maltodextrin (19.56%) and gums (15.22%) have been the most frequently used biopolymers for encapsulation of anthocyanins in the selected studies.

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.
