With rapid technological advances, studies in the field of food processing have been extended from micro to nano-sized (10-9 m) particles. Food nanotechnology is rapidly emerging with several innovations in food packaging and nutraceuticals. Nano-emulsions are now being increasingly used for encapsulating bio active compounds and act as transport vehicles in functional foods and probiotic health foods.

In general, Nano-encapsulation involves the incorporation, absorption or dispersion of bioactive compounds in small vesicles with nano (or submicron) diameters. The incorporated bioactive compounds may be protected against degradation, have improved stability and solubility (e.g., solubilizing a hydrophilic compound in hydrophobic matrices and vice versa) and therefore might increase bioavailability and delivery to cells and tissues [Bouwmeester et al., 2009]

This report focuses on finding the key innovators and the industry ecosystem through relevant patents, clinical trials and university data encompassing the research in the fast-growing area of Nano-emulsions in foods. Dolcera has a standardized and tested procedure to formulate comprehensive patent search strategies READ MORE >
