TY - JOUR T1 - Applications of Lipid Nanoparticles (SLN and NLC) in Food Industry AU - , Souto E.B. JO - Journal of Food Technology VL - 4 IS - 1 SP - 90 EP - 95 PY - 2006 DA - 2001/08/19 SN - 1684-8462 DO - jftech.2006.90.95 UR - https://makhillpublications.co/view-article.php?doi=jftech.2006.90.95 KW - Solid Lipid Nanoparticles KW -SLN KW -Nanostructured Lipid Carriers KW -NLC KW -food nutrients KW -food industry AB - The aim of the present study is the description of the special features that the well known Solid Lipid Nanoparticles (SLN) and Nanostructured Lipid Nanoparticles (NLC) have for the oral delivery of food nutrients and active ingredients. Here, the main lipid materials used for the production of these carriers, as well as their production methods are given. Furthermore, the morphological differences between SLN and NLC are pointed out and the advantages of these carriers for food industry are referred. The question of how to formulate oral forms based on lipid nanoparticles is also discussed and several useful examples are given. ER -
