Food-grade W/O/W emulsion-filled sodium alginate hydrogel for co-delivery of riboflavin and curcumin

Key Points

• Enhanced co-delivery of riboflavin and curcumin increases nutrient bioavailability significantly.
• Bioavailability of the co-delivered nutrients improved dramatically, with up to 50% increase noted.
• Development of a food-grade emulsion-filled sodium alginate hydrogel was utilized to facilitate nutrient delivery.
• This approach may enable better absorption of essential nutrients through innovative hydrogel technology.
