A short review on encapsulation of bioactive compounds using different drying techniques

Gelatin-Graphene Oxide Nanocomposite Hydrogels for Kluyveromyces lactis Encapsulation: Potential Applications in Probiotics and Bioreactor Packings

“…Encapsulation of bioactive compounds or whole cells for oral administration has been achieved with the aid of several materials, including collagen, gelatin, alginate, chitosan, gum Arabic, maltodextrin, starch, sodium caseinate, polyvinyl alcohol, polyethylene glycol, and polyacrylic acid [15][16][17][18][19]. Polymeric materials, particularly hydrogels, have been described as the preferred choice due to characteristics such as hydrophilic porous matrix, flexibility, high biocompatibility and biodegradability, prolonged consistency, userfriendliness, low cost, and ease of access [20][21][22].…”

Supramolecular Gels Incorporating Cordyline terminalis Leaf Extract as a Polyphenol Release Scaffold for Biomedical Applications

“…First, the harmful effects might come from saponins (hemolysis) [17], coumarins (anti-coagulant effect) [19], and cardiac glycosides (toxicity) [18] if the high dosage is utilized. Second, the bioactive compounds are unstable in physiological conditions or vastly scattered after treatment [11]. To overcome two of these problems, the aqCT extract containing those bioactive compounds was encapsulated inside the gel matrices.…”

“…A wellbalanced microbiota is essential to maintain the general process of health, minimizing the occurrence of oxidative stress and neurodegeneration [10]. However, the bioactive compounds have problems during an applying procedure, such as spreading diffusion, instability, and frequently repeated doses [11]. These difficulties require an encapsulation strategy for bioactive compounds in each specific application to minimize the compound lost and thus maximizing the desired effects [11,12].…”

“…However, the bioactive compounds have problems during an applying procedure, such as spreading diffusion, instability, and frequently repeated doses [11]. These difficulties require an encapsulation strategy for bioactive compounds in each specific application to minimize the compound lost and thus maximizing the desired effects [11,12]. Individual natural substance is studied to understand its particular effect, but the applied research likely favors the mixture components due to the additive/synergistic effects and cost-effectiveness [13].…”

“…Individual natural substance is studied to understand its particular effect, but the applied research likely favors the mixture components due to the additive/synergistic effects and cost-effectiveness [13]. They could exhibit the excellent biological activities in reducing the risk of several diseases, including cancer, heart disease, stroke, Alzheimer's, diabetes, and age-related functional decadence [11], even as a ray of hope in COVID-19 management [14]. Motivated from these reports, the crude extract of Cordyline terminalis Kunth leaves was chosen instead of isolated compounds.…”
