Abstract:
Rapid progress in development and application of nanotechnology has been extensively studied and well documented in the fields of pharmaceuticals, foods and cosmetics from the past few decades. The problems associated with bioactives are poor bioavailability, low aqueous solubility and membrane permeability. Niosomes are novel Nano-vesicles which exhibits chemically stable, biodegradable, biocompatible and non-immunogenic, longer shelf life, targeted delivery in controlled and sustained release manner of bioactives. This review mainly focussed on structure, formulation aspects of niosomes, methods of preparation, advantages and applications of bioactive loaded niosomes into foods.
