In general, food packaging is aimed at preventing food degradation caused by physical and chemical processes or microbial contamination, thereby reducing aroma loss and maintaining product quality during its extended shelf life. To achieve this, the movement of water and gases must be restricted by the packaging material, which must simultaneously conform to the physicomechanical requirements (Talegaonkar, Sharma, Pandey, Mishra, & Wimmer, 2017). The petrochemical polymers currently utilized as food packaging are nonrenewable and nonbiodegradable, presenting remarkable threats such as natural resource depletion, energy crises, global warming, and ecological problems pertaining to waste generation and disposal (Sarwar, Niazi, Jahan, Ahmad, & Hussain, 2018). In recent decades, environmental concerns and increasing consumer demand for healthy and nutritious
Nowadays the importance of vitamins is clear for everyone. However, many patients are suffering from insufficient intake of vitamins. Incomplete intake of different vitamins from food sources due to their destruction during food processing or decrease in their bioavailability when mixing with other food materials, are factors resulting in vitamin deficiency in the body. Therefore, various lipid based nanocarriers such as nanoliposomes were developed to increase the bioavailability of bioactive compounds. Since the function of nanoliposomes containing vitamins on the body has a direct relationship with the quality of produced nanoliposomes, this review study was planned to investigate the several aspects of liposomal characteristics such as size, polydispersity index, zeta potential, and encapsulation efficiency on the quality of synthesized vitamin-loaded nanoliposomes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
