AI Article Synopsis
- Bioactive components are beneficial in food, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical industries, and this review focuses on creating microemulsions (MEs) to enhance their solubility and extraction.
- Microemulsions show promise for improving methods like oil recovery and protein extraction, and are effective in delivering drugs and nutraceuticals.
- The review also explores ME liquid membranes as advanced tools for extracting and encapsulating both hydrophilic and lipophilic bioactive compounds for various applications.
Article Abstract
Bioactive components possess various functionalities and are most interested for different food, nutraceutical and pharmaceutical formulations. The current review will discuss the preparation methods and fabrication techniques to design microemulsions (MEs) for the solubilization, separation, encapsulation and purification of various agro-food bioactive compounds. ME systems have shown suitable potential in enhancing oil recovery, protein extraction, and isolation of bioactive compounds. Moreover, the capability of ME based systems as drug and nutraceutical delivery cargos, and synthesis of various organic and inorganic nanoparticles, especially using biopolymers, will be investigated. ME liquid membranes are also developed as nano-extractor/nano-reactor vehicles, capable of simultaneous extraction, encapsulation or even synthesis of hydrophilic and lipophilic bioactive compounds for food, nutraceutical and drug applications.
