Process of phytosome formation. Schematic and structural representation of the hydro-gen bonding (dashed line) between the phytochemical (polyphenols) and the hydrophilic “head” of the phospholipid (phosphatidylcholine), which generates the phosphatidylcholine–polyphenol complex. The hydrophobic “tails”, comprising the body and tail, envelop the phosphatidylcholine–polyphenol complex, causing a small microsphere structurally similar to a cell: the phytosome.
