A review on colloidal delivery vehicles using carvacrol as a model bioactive compound

Bioactive compounds possess a variety of potentially beneficial bioactivities. However, the application these ingredients in food, supplement and pharmaceutical industries is often challenged due to their poor solubility, low chemical stability, unsustainable bioavailability. Carvacrol, for example, can represent wide range bioactive that are susceptible processing, transportation storage conditions. Colloidal delivery systems suitable approach overcome drawbacks. In current review, several encapsulation methods have been proposed construct colloidal using carvacrol as model compound. These include microemulsions, nanoemulsions, liposomes, solid lipid nanoparticles, nanostructure liquid carrier, biopolymer microgels based on latest reports. this carvarol loaded demonstrated both vitro vivo. Various studies shown properly designed carvacrol-loading vehicles improve release profile, flavor, thus promoting bioavailability sustainability antibiotic alternatives. Sensory qualities end products after carvarol-loaded discussed. The assembly mechanism perspective structural characteristics aforementioned compared summarized review.
