Academic Press Lipid-Based Nanostructures for Food Encapsulation Purposes: Volume 2 in the Nanoencapsulation in the Food Industry series

Product Description Lipid-Based Nanostructures for Food Encapsulation Purposes, Volume Two in the Nanoencapsulation in the Food Industry series, reviews recent studies on the formulation and evaluation of different categories of lipid-based nano-carriers and discusses how lipid nanoencapsulation is a feasible technology for the food industry. This book covers nano-emulsions, nano-liposomes, nanostructured lipid carriers and surfactant nanoparticles. Authored by a team of global experts in the fields of nano and microencapsulation of food, nutraceutical and pharmaceutical ingredients, this title is of great value to those engaged in the various fields of nanoencapsulation. Review Reviews the formulation and evaluation of different categories of lipid-based nano-carriers From the Back Cover Nanoencapsulation in the Food Industry, vol. 2: Lipid-Based Nanostructures for Food Encapsulation Purposes Reviews formulation and evaluation of different categories of lipid-based nano-carriers. Edited by Seid Mahdi Jafari Associate Professor, Department of Food Materials and Process Design Engineering, University of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources, Gorgan, Iran Lipid-Based Nanostructures for Food Encapsulation Purposes, a volume in the Nanoencapsulation in the Food Industry series, reviews recent studies on formulation and evaluation of different categories of lipid-based nano-carriers, and discusses how lipid nanoencapsulation is a feasible technology to be used in the food industry. Lipid-based nano-encapsulation systems are mostly used in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. This book covers the main types which have been studied and developed in recent years, including nano-emulsions, nano-liposomes, nanostructured lipid carriers and surfactant nanoparticles.
