Abstract
Background
Recently, increasing evidence has revealed a positive relationship between the consumption of bioactive components and ocular health. The ocular barriers and instability of the bioactive components limit their delivery to the eye and nutritional intervention. Steady delivery nanocarriers effectively protect the stability of bioactive components during processing, storage, or gastrointestinal digestion to promote ocular health.
Scope and approach
This review highlights the considerable potential benefits of bioactive components for ocular health by systematically summarizing the research progress on the use of carotenoids, flavonoids, fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals in ocular nutritional intervention. Moreover, the current state of bioactive component-based delivery nanocarriers, including nanoemulsions, liposomes, nanoparticles, inclusion complexes, and gels, has been summarized. Finally, special attention should be given to the challenges and prospects of bioactive component delivery nanocarriers in precision eye nutrition.
Key findings and conclusions
The latest research on the effects of bioactive components on ocular health indicates that stable and targeted delivery nanocarriers can increase their bioavailability. In general, future research should focus on optimizing the performance of ocular delivery nanocarriers based on bioactive components to achieve precise nutritional intervention in the eye. Furthermore, the future ocular care food market offers vast development opportunities, and further encouragement is needed to promote the application of bioactive substance delivery nanocarriers in food commercialization.
期刊介绍:
Trends in Food Science & Technology is a prestigious international journal that specializes in peer-reviewed articles covering the latest advancements in technology, food science, and human nutrition. It serves as a bridge between specialized primary journals and general trade magazines, providing readable and scientifically rigorous reviews and commentaries on current research developments and their potential applications in the food industry.
Unlike traditional journals, Trends in Food Science & Technology does not publish original research papers. Instead, it focuses on critical and comprehensive reviews to offer valuable insights for professionals in the field. By bringing together cutting-edge research and industry applications, this journal plays a vital role in disseminating knowledge and facilitating advancements in the food science and technology sector.
