Release of ingredients from MPs in digestive conditions. (a) Time dependent release profile of encapsulated 100 nm FNPs (i) and SRB (ii) from MPs subjected to simulated GI tract environment (stomach: 2-hr incubation at pH 2.0 and 37 °C, and intestine: 4-hr incubation at pH 7.1 and 37 °C). (b), (c) Representative fluorescence micrographs of (b) FNP- and (c) SRB-encapsulating MPs after incubation at simulated gastric and intestinal conditions. As a control, fluorescent micrographs of MPs without FNP and SRB are shown for comparison.
