Characterization of an effective drug carrier system for improved oxidative and thermal stability of essential fatty acids: a review

Essential fatty acids play an important role in promoting brain development, decreasing the incidence of cardiovascular diseases, and reducing inflammation. However, they are inherently unstable susceptible to oxidative deterioration due two or more double bonds their structure. Delivery systems have been developed provide effective encapsulation protection for sensitive acids, thus fulfilling health benefits. Emulsion-based microencapsulation is one most promising techniques delivery omega 3 & 6 acids. The emulsion composition structure, as well storage conditions regarded key factors influence shelf life stability emulsions. To maximize resistance these emulsions against oxidation, structure design was particularly highlighted, different methods tailoring were developed. current work focused on careful improve (FAs). Different types carrier systems, formulations, including conventional emulsions, multilayer gelled pickering structures designs discussed, protective effect FAs with regard food fortification also conferred, interfacial emphasized. effects emulsifiers its modification presented further during storage.
