Recent developments in nanoparticle and microparticle delivery
systems are revolutionizing delivery systems in the food industry.
These developments have the potential to solve many of the
technical challenges involved in creating encapsulation,
protection, and delivery of active ingredients, such as colors,
flavors, preservatives, vitamins, minerals, and nutraceuticals.
Nanoparticle- and Microparticle-based Delivery Systems:
Encapsulation, Protection and Release of Active Compounds explores
various types of colloidal delivery systems available for
encapsulating active ingredients, highlighting their relative
advantages and limitations and their use. Written by an
international authority known for his clear and rigorous technical
writing style, this book discusses the numerous kinds of active
ingredients available and the issues associated with their
encapsulation, protection, and delivery. The author takes a
traditional colloid science approach and emphasizes the practical
aspects of formulation of particulate- and emulsion-based delivery
systems with food applications. He then covers the physicochemical
and mechanical methods available for manufacturing colloidal
particles, highlighting the importance of designing particles for
specific applications. The book includes chapters devoted
specifically to the three major types of colloidal delivery systems
available for encapsulating active ingredients in the food
industry: surfactant-based, emulsion-based, and biopolymer-based.
It then reviews the analytical tools available for characterizing
the properties of colloidal delivery systems, presents the
mathematical models for describing their properties, and highlights
the factors to consider when selecting an appropriate delivery
system for a particular application backed up by specific case
studies. Based on insight from the author's own experience, the
book describes why delivery systems are needed, the important
factors to consider when designing them, methods of characterizing
them, and specific examples of the range of food-grade delivery
systems available. It gives you the necessary knowledge,
understanding, and appreciation of developments within the current
research literature in this rapidly growing field and the
confidence to perform reliable experimental investigations
according to modern international standards.
