This book highlights the recent innovative work in nutraceutical delivery systems, focusing on strategies and approaches for delivering maximum health benefits from foods. The book presents recent research-oriented work from diverse global perspectives on isolation techniques for nutraceutical components, phytosomes, liposomes, solid dispersions, micelles, self-emulsifying drug delivery system (SEDDS), microemulsions, solid lipid nanaoparticles (SLNs), polyelectrolyte complexes, oral delivery, polymeric nanoparticles, and more.
The book begins with an overview of recent facts and diverse perspectives of the use of nutraceuticals in medicine and proceeds to discuss recent techniques in isolation of nutraceuticals from plants and in solubility enhancement. It looks at innovations and advances in nanoparticles-based nutraceutical delivery, such as in solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs), fabrication methods of therapeutic nanoparticles, and polymeric nanoparticles-based nutraceutical delivery system. It also discusses vesicular delivery systems and biphasic systems for nutraceutical applications. Chapters also address the challenges in oral delivery and the latest taste-masking techniques.
Nutraceutical Delivery Systems: Promising Strategies for Overcoming Delivery Challenges will be of high interest to faculty and students in this area as well as to medical staff, industry professionals, clinicians, paramedical staffs, clinical dieticians, nutraceutical experts, and a wide range of biological researchers.
