Nanoliposomes as delivery system for carotenoid encapsulation.
| Delivery System | Carotenoid | Encapsulation Method | Results | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| soybean phosphatidyl choline nanoliposomes |
astaxanthin | film dispersion-ultrasonic technique | enhanced thermal stability and water dispersibility of astaxanthin. | [109] Pan 2018 |
| nanoliposomes | lutein, β-carotene, lycopene, and canthaxanthin. |
thin-film evaporation method | enhanced loading ability, bioaccesibility and antioxidant activity in this order: lutein> β-carotene> lycopene> canthaxanthin |
