This book explores the most up to date nano- and micro-deliverysystems for food ingredients, including nanoemulsions, stabilizednanoemulsions, solid lipid nanoparticles, and polymericnanoparticles. Chapters explore the different types of deliverysystems, their properties and interactions with other foodcomponents, targeting mechanisms, and safety to the human body.Industrial and societal implications of use of nano- andmicro-delivery systems for bioactive ingredients in functionalfoods are also covered. Continuing innovation in nano andmicro-delivery systems for bioactives will underpin expandedconsumer choice in functional foods and growth strategies for foodcompanies in the 21st century. This book aims to provide the readerwith the most up-to-date knowledge of modern delivery systems, options available, and the basic science critical to success in themarketplace.
