Micro- and nano-encapsulation techniques, such as microfluidization, spray drying, and centrifugal extrusion, have been widely utilized in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, food, cosmetics, and agriculture, to improve the stability, shelf life, and bioavailability of active ingredients, such as vitamin A. Emulsion-based delivery platforms offer feasible and appropriate alternatives for safeguarding, encapsulating, and transporting bioactive compounds. Therefore, there is a need to enrich our basic diet to prevent vitamin A deficiency within a population. This review focused on addressing vitamin A shortages, encapsulation techniques for improving the delivery of vital vitamins A and their food applications. Additionally, more studies are required to guarantee the security of nano-delivery strategies, as they proliferate in the food and beverage sector.
微囊化和纳米囊化技术,如微流化、喷雾干燥和离心挤压,已在包括制药、食品、化妆品和农业在内的各个行业中广泛应用,以提高活性成分(如维生素A)的稳定性、保质期和生物利用度。基于乳液的递送平台为保护、封装和运输生物活性化合物提供了可行且合适的替代方案。因此,有必要丰富我们的基础饮食以预防人群中的维生素A缺乏症。本综述着重探讨维生素A短缺问题、改善重要维生素A递送的封装技术及其食品应用。此外,随着纳米递送策略在食品和饮料行业的迅速发展,需要更多研究来确保其安全性。
