Encapsulation systems for lutein: A review

Incorporation of Lutein on Layered Double Hydroxide for Improving the Environmental Stability

“…At present, great efforts arefocused on the encapsulation of lutein using inclusion complexes, cornstarch granules, whey protein nano-emulsion, and lipid nanocarriers, etc. to improve the stability and bioavailability of lutein [9,[14][15][16][17]. The combination of oligosaccharides and polysaccharides molecules with carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin resulted in the formation of supramolecular complexes, greatly improving in chemical stability, photostability, and oxidation stability of xanthophylls [18][19][20].…”

Cenospheres and their application advantages in biomedical engineering - a systematic review

“…The first application relates to polymers and composites as carriers of drugs to be released at the inflammation site or as a dedicated treatment, i.e. encapsulation, tissue scaffolding or as a material for degradable regeneration structures [50][51][52][53]. For these composite and polymer applications, the following requirements are posed: no toxicity for the human body, no harmful interaction with the drug, no metabolic polymer transformation products excreted beyond the body, and beneficial mechanical properties if possible, to allow the transfer of the resulting stresses to the implant before the tissue recovers [50,54,55].…”

Loading of lutein in egg-sphingomyelin vesicles as lipid carriers: Thermotropic phase behaviour, structure of sphingosome membranes and lutein crystals

“…broccoli, spinach), in vegetables (e.g. corn), in Marigold flowers and in egg-yolk containing foods (Perry et al, 2009;Steiner et al, 2018;Zaheer, 2017). Despite the claimed benefits that lutein may bring to human health, the intake of natural dietary sources of this carotenoid is very low.…”

“…Recently, nanocrystal technology has been successfully investigated to improve oral bioavailability of lutein (Chang et al, 2018). Encapsulation is a promising method to achieve protection of lutein against physical damage, to preserve its chemical stability and to facilitate its incorporation into aqueous food and beverage products (Steiner et al, 2018). Strategies for the encapsulation of lutein in several delivery systems have been developed.…”

“…Strategies for the encapsulation of lutein in several delivery systems have been developed. Emulsions, simple or multiple, are the most common delivery systems for lutein (Steiner et al, 2018). The colloidal delivery systems are, for example, nanoparticles (Hu et al, 2012;da Silva Santos et al, 2019), microcapsules (Álvarez-Henao et al, 2018;Huang et al, 2019;Kuang et al, 2015), nanoemulsions (Murillo et al, 2016;Steiner et al, 2019) and lipid vesicles such as liposomes (Tan et al, 2013;Xia et al, 2012).…”
