Digestion Fate and Food Applications of Emulsions as Delivery Systems for Bioactive Compounds: Challenges and Perspectives

Open access
Loffredi, Eleonora, Alamprese, C.·2024·Food Reviews International

Abstract

Different emulsion systems can be used to deliver bioactive compounds: single, multiple, gel, Pickering, and high internal phase emulsions. Each of them offers advantages and challenges in terms of stability, encapsulation efficiency, and bioactive compound availability during digestion. Moreover, the different emulsion types can affect the quality characteristics of the food products in which they are used, as well as the bioactive compound availability in the complex final matrix. This review provides an overview of the most recent works in this field, divided into two main sections. The first section is focused on in vitro digestibility of emulsion-based delivery systems to highlight the factors that can affect the digestion process and bioactive compound accessibility and availability. The second section is dedicated to the applications of delivery systems in food products, underlining the need for a better evaluation of the emulsion effects on food properties and on the fate of bioactive compounds in the complex matrix. Challenges and perspectives for emulsion-based delivery systems are presented, giving suggestions for future research.

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.
