Biological macromolecule delivery system for improving functional performance of hydrophobic nutraceuticals

There is a growing interest in using biological macromolecules based delivery systems such as hydrogels, nanoparticles, and coacervates to encapsulate, protect and release hydrophobic nutraceuticals in order to achieve desired functionality. In this article, we reviewed recent progress in the fabrication and functional performance of delivery systems based on these macromolecules. Physicochemical characteristics of macromolecules such as proteins and carbohydrates used as building blocks are discussed. In particular, some novel macromolecules are introduced. An overview of strategies for fabricating biological macromolecule delivery systems is given. Potential benefits of certain biological macromolecules based delivery system are highlighted. At last, we summarized potential challenges for future development of biological macromolecules based delivery systems.
