Anthocyanins (ACNs), a subgroup of flavonoids, have received considerable attention due to their nutritional values. However, their application is limited by poor stability and bioavailability. Nanoencapsulation has emerged as a promising approach to enhance their stability and bio-efficacy. This review focuses on the application of nano-techniques in delivery systems for ACNs, highlighting physicochemical stability and health benefits. ACNs incorporated into nanoparticles and fibrils exhibit improved stability, enhanced bioavailability, and controlled release. The toxicological evaluation of nano delivery systems is also discussed. The challenges and future perspectives for the application of ACNs delivery systems in food and medical fields are summarized.
Anthocyanins (ACNs) are one of the subgroups of flavonoids and getting intensive attraction due to the nutritional values. However, their application of ACNs is limited due to their poor stability and bioavailability. Accordingly, nanoencapsulation has been developed to enhance its stability and bio-efficacy. This review focuses on the nano-technique applications of delivery systems that be used for ACNs stabilization, with an emphasis on physicochemical stability and health benefits. ACNs incorporated with delivery systems in forms of nano-particles and fibrils can achieve advanced functions, such as improved stability, enhanced bioavailability, and controlled release. Also, the toxicological evaluation of nano delivery systems is summarized. Additionally, this review summarizes the challenges and suggests the further perspectives for the further application of ACNs delivery systems in food and medical fields.
