Nanostructured Delivery Systems

Nanostructured Delivery Systems: The Science of Bioactive Protection presents a cutting-edge exploration of nanoencapsulation technology and its pivotal role in overcoming the limitations of bioactive compounds. The book systematically examines lipid-based, polymer-based, and hybrid/inorganic delivery systems, highlighting their mechanisms, applications, and comparative advantages in food science, nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. Emphasis is placed on enhancing bioavailability, stability, and controlled release while addressing challenges such as scalability, regulatory frameworks, and safety considerations. Future directions, including stimuli-responsive carriers and sustainable nanotechnologies, underscore the field’s potential to revolutionize bioactive delivery. Combining scientific depth with practical relevance, this book serves as a vital reference for advancing research and industrial applications in nanotechnology.
