Research Progress of Encapsulated Carotenoid Delivery Systems
Carotenoids,mainly found in dark fruits and vegetables,have biological activity functions such as anti-inflam-matory and antioxidant,can strengthen the human immune system,help fight off various viruses,including SARS-CoV2 and other viruses.It is also a natural food colorant and natural antioxidant,which play an important role in protecting human health and industrial development.The applications of carotenoids in food are hindered by its poor chemical insta-bility and low oral bioavailability.For this reason,delivery systems have been developed to solve the above problems.This review gave a briefly introduction to the metabolic process and influencing factors of bioavailability of carotenoids with special focuses on the research progress of carotenoid delivery systems which aimed to provide a reference for the functional application of carotenoids in food.
