Controlled Nutrient Delivery through a pH-Responsive Wood Vehicle

Qian Luan et al.

Summary: In this study, a nutrient-delivery system based on a pH-responsive wood scroll was designed for targeted delivery of nutrients to the intestine. The wood scroll allows for storage, protection, and controlled release of nutrients, ensuring higher bioactivity and prolonged release in the intestine. The system was successfully demonstrated with probiotics, tea polyphenols, and rapeseed oil, showing its potential for customized nutrient management. This structurally controlled strategy offers a promising approach for enteric nutrient delivery using readily available and biocompatible biomass materials.
