Plant Based Nano delivery systems for potential Food Applications: A Review

Plant-based nano delivery systems are a distinctive category of drug delivery systems that employ nanoparticles derived from plant-based materials to deliver bioactive food components, nutritional supplements, or other functional ingredients to the intended sites of action within the body. Improved bioavailability, decreased toxicity, and better target specificity are the main benefits that these nano delivery systems provide compared to conventional drug delivery techniques. In terms of surface area to volume, these nanoparticles are practically suitable for use in drug delivery. They are safe for usage within the system since they are biocompatible, biodegradable, and non-toxic. The chitosan nanoparticles, cellulose nanoparticles, and lipid-based nanoparticles are used to create nanoparticles for drug delivery applications The review addressed plant-based components for matrix encapsulation, such as the use of proteins, polysaccharides, phospholipids, and lipids. The various encapsulation processes are addressed, including spray drying, freeze drying, spray cooling, complex coacervation, and co-extrusion. The structure, production, and characteristics of nano emulsions, nanoliposomes, and nanophytosomes are studied in the delivery system. Research into plant-based nano delivery systems has great promise for the creation of novel, more efficient, and less hazardous means of delivering functional ingredients in food and nutraceutical industries.
