Abstract
Spices are substances that can be detected by the sense of smell or taste in their natural state. Currently, research on functional spices with properties such as anti-tumour, vascularisation, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial effects attracts a lot of attention. However, comprehensive reviews on spices and their delivery systems remain limited. Among the various carriers used for spice delivery, cyclodextrins are widely applied due to their unique properties, which feature a hydrophobic interior and a hydrophilic exterior, particularly in the delivery of poorly soluble spices. In this study, representative functional spices and their mechanisms of action are introduced, then cyclodextrins and stimulus-responsive cyclodextrin-based delivery systems are summarised, and their applications in the field of spice delivery are discussed. Furthermore, the challenges faced in spice delivery and the future direction of cyclodextrin-based carriers are proposed to promote the construction of an effective delivery system.
期刊介绍:
Flavour and Fragrance Journal publishes original research articles, reviews and special reports on all aspects of flavour and fragrance. Its high scientific standards and international character is ensured by a strict refereeing system and an editorial team representing the multidisciplinary expertise of our field of research. Because analysis is the matter of many submissions and supports the data used in many other domains, a special attention is placed on the quality of analytical techniques. All natural or synthetic products eliciting or influencing a sensory stimulus related to gustation or olfaction are eligible for publication in the Journal. Eligible as well are the techniques related to their preparation, characterization and safety. This notably involves analytical and sensory analysis, physical chemistry, modeling, microbiology – antimicrobial properties, biology, chemosensory perception and legislation.
The overall aim is to produce a journal of the highest quality which provides a scientific forum for academia as well as for industry on all aspects of flavors, fragrances and related materials, and which is valued by readers and contributors alike.
