“…This knowledge is being used by the pharmaceutical industry to develop lipid-based delivery systems that deliver drugs to specific locations within the GI tract (Porter & Wasan, 2008;Pouton, 2006). Similar systems are now being developed by the food industry to encapsulate, protect and deliver bioactive food components (McClements, Decker, Park, & Weiss, 2007;McClements et al, 2009;Patten, Augustin, Sanguansri, Head, & Abeywardena, 2009;Singh et al, 2009). Many of these delivery systems are being designed to modulate the digestion and release of bioactive food components within the GI tract.…”
