Emulsion Systems Stabilized with Biopolymers to Improve Lipophilic Bioactive Compounds Oral Bio Accessibility and Bioavailability

Nicole Anderson

Food lipophilic bioactive compounds are susceptible to degradation due to stimuli environments during processing, storage, and passage through the gastrointestinal tract. These lipophilic bioactive components have poor digestibility and oral bioavailability. Colloid-based delivery systems can improve the lipophilic bioactive compounds’ solubility, stability, and bioavailability. This review article summarises recent research on the development of bio polymeric emulsions as delivery vehicles for lipophilic bioactive compound encapsulation, protection, and enhancement of bio accessibility and bioavailability. Proteins, polysaccharides, and their conjugates are also highlighted as emulsifiers in the development of stable emulsions.
