Effect of microencapsulation techniques on the different properties of bioactives, vitamins and minerals

This paper explores the impact of encapsulation techniques on bioactive compounds, vitamins, and minerals, which are crucial for delivering bioactive compounds. Due to their instability and reactivity with the environment, encapsulation is often necessary to make these compounds suitable for medical or dietary applications. The evaluation of the kinetic model of bioactives reveals that encapsulation can significantly enhance their stability. However, encapsulation is not without its drawbacks. Incomplete encapsulation can reduce the effectiveness of the bioactives, and complexity of encapsulation processes can hinder widespread adoption. Interactions between the encapsulated materials and the encapsulating agents may also impact the release and bioavailability of the bioactives. It also presents perspectives for future research aimed at overcoming the limitations and enhancing the effectiveness of encapsulation. As research continues to advance, encapsulation is poised to play critical role in improving the delivery and stability of bioactive compounds, benefiting the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries.
