“…Moreover, it is a highly hydrophobic molecule with a low water-solubility and poor oral bioavailability. For these reasons, vitamin D is often encapsulated within edible colloidal delivery systems (CDS), such as nanoparticles or microparticles assembled from food-grade biopolymers (Abbasi, Emam-djomeh, Mousavi, & Davoodi, 2014;Lin, Wang, Yang, Guo, & Wang, 2016;Teng, Luo, & Wang, 2013) or lipids (Mohammadi, Ghanbarzadeh, & Hamishehkar, 2014;Ozturk, Argin, Ozilgen, & McClements, 2015a;Shah et al, 2016;Winuprasith et al, 2018). Encapsulation in CDS can increase both the stability and bioavailability of vitamins and other bioactive molecules (Luo, Teng, & Wang, 2012).…”
