Abstract
With the development of nanocarriers, especially in the area of nutraceutical delivery, the rapidly expanding field of nanotechnology has brought in a new age of health and well-being. The revolutionary potential of nanocarriers to improve the stability, bioavailability, and effectiveness of nutraceutical substances is discussed in this review paper. It started with outlining the difficulties that conventional nutraceutical delivery systems have, such as their low solubility and restricted absorption, which frequently obstruct their therapeutic advantages. The various types of nanocarriers which act as nutraceuticals includes liposomes, lipids, and polymer-based materials also highlight of their special qualities and how they get around the problems outlined. Recent developments in nanocarrier technology are critically analyzed to show how these tiny particles may be designed to offer enhanced protection against bioactive compounds and targeted, controlled release. Here toxicity issues and international guidelines compliance while examining safety and regulatory factors relevant to the use of nanocarriers in nutraceuticals has also been discussed. This review concludes with a prospective outlook on the use of nanocarriers in nutraceuticals going ahead, highlighting the possibility of tailored nutrition and the significance of new developments in maintaining and averting illness. This review provides the present status and future prospects of nanocarrier technology in the improvement of nutraceutical delivery by merging recent research findings and expert perspectives.
期刊介绍:
Nano-Structures & Nano-Objects is a new journal devoted to all aspects of the synthesis and the properties of this new flourishing domain. The journal is devoted to novel architectures at the nano-level with an emphasis on new synthesis and characterization methods. The journal is focused on the objects rather than on their applications. However, the research for new applications of original nano-structures & nano-objects in various fields such as nano-electronics, energy conversion, catalysis, drug delivery and nano-medicine is also welcome. The scope of Nano-Structures & Nano-Objects involves: -Metal and alloy nanoparticles with complex nanostructures such as shape control, core-shell and dumbells -Oxide nanoparticles and nanostructures, with complex oxide/metal, oxide/surface and oxide /organic interfaces -Inorganic semi-conducting nanoparticles (quantum dots) with an emphasis on new phases, structures, shapes and complexity -Nanostructures involving molecular inorganic species such as nanoparticles of coordination compounds, molecular magnets, spin transition nanoparticles etc. or organic nano-objects, in particular for molecular electronics -Nanostructured materials such as nano-MOFs and nano-zeolites -Hetero-junctions between molecules and nano-objects, between different nano-objects & nanostructures or between nano-objects & nanostructures and surfaces -Methods of characterization specific of the nano size or adapted for the nano size such as X-ray and neutron scattering, light scattering, NMR, Raman, Plasmonics, near field microscopies, various TEM and SEM techniques, magnetic studies, etc .
