Encapsulation Systems Containing Multi-Nutrients/Bioactives: From Molecular Scale to Industrial Scale

The design of encapsulation systems for nutrient and bioactive delivery is motivated by modern consumer demands for convenient therapeutic foods and also the effective utilization of bioresources. Both nutrients and bioactive substances are essential to human health and well-being. Accordingly, encapsulation systems containing multi-nutrients/bioactive substances, as final dietary products or ingredients for consumer foods, provide vehicles to deliver the goodness of natural resources to health-focused consumers. This chapter explores the concept of “carriers containing multi-nutrients/bioactives”. Insights are also provided into the complex behaviors of biomolecules as encapsulants in the fabrication of novel encapsulation systems based on this concept, along with the possible changes in the nature of molecular interactions among the encapsulant(s) and encapsulated nutrients/bioactives induced during the translation of laboratory-scale research to practical industrial-scale manufacturing.
