摘要

For several decades, liposomesLiposomes have been utilized to encapsulate pharmaceuticals and bioactive compounds in cosmeceuticals. However, in the past decade, there has been a notable increase in the application of these phospholipid vesicles in nutraceuticals and food applications. The delivery of vitamins, especially those that are poorly water-soluble and lipophilic, is challenging. The encapsulation of these vitamins in the liposomal matrix provides an opportunity to introduce those deficient vitamins into the food. Moreover, the engineering of liposomesLiposomes is carried out to attain better controlled and targeted release, increased surface area, higher encapsulation efficiencyEncapsulation efficiency (EE), and bypass the reticuloendothelial system. The advancement in the engineering of liposomesLiposomes aids in the controlled and targeted delivery of vitamins themselves or as a medium to facilitate the delivery of different therapeutics. This chapter provides the foundation for different types of liposomal matrixes, formulation techniques, and recent applications in the encapsulation of vitamins.
