Description
Nanoencapsulation improves stability, bioavailability, and shelf life of food ingredients using nanotechnology.
Technical
Nanoencapsulation involves enclosing active ingredients within tiny particles (1-100 nanometers) to enhance nutrient delivery, texture, and flavor release. Various methods like emulsification, spray drying, and extrusion are used, depending on the ingredient and desired product characteristics.
