Lutein esters are carotenoid fatty acids esters with extensive physiological activities. However, susceptibility to oxidation and degradation significantly limits its application in food products. In this study, a novel delivery system based on gelatin-quercetin complex (GEL-QU) was developed to encapsulate and protect...

BACKGROUND
Dihydromyricetin (DMY) possesses excellent antioxidant capacity and multiple bioactivities, yet its poor water solubility, intense bitterness, and low bioavailability severely limit its application as a functional ingredient. Constructing composite nanoparticles using hydrolyzed wheat gluten (HWG) and β-cycl...

To overcome the poor stability and low probiotic survival associated with traditional delivery systems, this study systematically developed and compared water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) emulsions with different phase gelation strategies. Three emulsion types were constructed: oil-phase (O-W/O/W), external aqueous-phase (A...
