Nanotechnology and Functional Foods : Effective Delivery of Bioactive Ingredients.

Nanotechnology and Functional Foods : Effective Delivery of Bioactive Ingredients.

The continued advancement in the sciences of functional foods and nutraceuticals has clearly established a strong correlation between consumption of bioactives and improved human health and performance. However, the efficacy and bioavailability of these bioactive ingredients (e.g., omega-3 oils, car...
