Nanoencapsulation of food bioactive constituents and its associated processes: A revisit

Bioactive Compounds and Therapeutics from Fish: Revisiting Their Suitability in Functional Foods to Enhance Human Wellbeing

“…Particularly, DHA is essential for optimal brain and neurodevelopment in children, whereas EPA is essential for the improvement of the overall cardiovascular health. Fatty acids are involved in osmoregulation, nutrient assimilation, and nutrient transport [ 27 , 28 , 46 , 60 ]. Average daily consumption of 250 mg of EPA/DHA is recommended by the U.S. of Agriculture and of Health and Human Services [ 88 ].…”

“…Adding as rich sources of amino acids and peptides, fish proteins remain highly digestible especially in balanced Lethrinus harak Provides energy for protein synthesis [38] proportions. The digestibility of such components as amino acids and proteins is critical to the bioavailability and therapeutic effects of fish products [60]. Balami et al [46] understood that about 60% of the inhabitants in developing countries depend on fish,which constituted about 30% of their animal protein supplies.…”

“…Both chitin and chitosan provide health benefits such as wound healing, immune system stimulant, antiulcer agents, bactericide, antioxidant agent, and antiaging cosmetics [110,111]. Also, chitin/chitosan is useful for nutraceutical applications and can be augmented by stimulating the assimilation of derivatives like fibers, film, and chitosan-based nanomaterials, being commercially available nontoxic/natural substances [60,[112][113][114]. In general, chitosan has found wide applications in nanoencapsulation of many nutrients and bioactive compounds found in foods, including fish, where it helps in nutrient delivery, absorption, and protection [60,112,115,116].…”

Nutraceutical and Pharmaceutical Behavior of Bioactive Compounds of Miracle Oilseeds: An Overview

“…These beneficial properties are mainly attributed to their remarkable antioxidant capacity, which participates in the prevention of different illnesses linked to oxidative stress such as premature aging, neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases and several cancers [5,6]. Phenolic compounds not only have antioxidant effects, but also have strong antithrombotic, antimicrobial, antidiabetic, and antiatherogenic effects [124]. Besides, due to their scavenging activity, phenolic compounds play a crucial role in the stabilization of edible oils, protecting them against off-flavors development and enlarging their shelf life [97].…”

“…Higher amounts of PUFAs enhance the oil quality for human intake. Flaxseeds contains 19.55 g omega-3 fatty acids per serving i.e., 85 g [124]. Dietary PUFAs exert anti-thrombotic, anti-inflammatory, hypolipidemic, anti-arrhythmic, and vasodilatory activities (oxylipins), and improve immunity [163,164].…”
