Fabrication, characterization and properties of food nanoemulsions
D.J. McClements, University of Massachusetts, USA
Abstract:
There is increasing interest within the food industry in utilizing nanoemulsions to encapsulate, protect and deliver lipophilic functional food components, such as oil-soluble flavors, preservatives, vitamins and nutraceuticals. Some of the potential advantages of nanoemulsions over conventional emulsions are: they scatter light weakly and so can be incorporated into optically transparent foods and beverages; they can greatly increase the bioavailability of non-polar substances; they have a high stability to particle aggregation and gravitational separation. This chapter provides an overview of the current ...
