Description
Nanoparticle-based food encapsulation enhances flavor, texture, and shelf life by creating edible shells around food particles.
Technical
The process involves using biodegradable polymers, such as starch, cellulose, or chitosan, to create nanoparticle shells, which can be synthesized at temperatures ranging from room temperature to 200°C. The encapsulation process can take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours.
