Liposomes for Food and Nutraceutical

Liposomes are frequently utilized in the food industry because they protect sensitive substances against a variety of degradation factors, including pH, light, digestive enzymes, and cellular interactions.

Table 1. Advantages of Liposomes in the Food Industry

Application of Liposomes in the Food Industry

• Liposome as Detection Sensor

Food infected with pathogenic bacteria, toxins, and heavy metals can be hazardous. The development of simple, rapid, and accurate detection techniques is beneficial to guaranteeing food safety. Liposomes are frequently utilized for the detection of pathogenic bacteria, toxins, and heavy metals due to their high sensitivity, rapidity, simplicity, and low production cost. Creative Biolabs offers immunoliposome for the detection of Escherichia coli, Salmonella Typhimurium, Listeria monocytogenes, cholera toxin, patulin, ricin, Cu²⁺, Hg²⁺, and other compounds in food.

• Liposomes for Bacterial Inhibition

Food's high nutritional content renders it prone to microbial infections, which might cause symptoms like diarrhea and vomiting. The encapsulation of antimicrobial compounds in liposomes can increase their stability and bioavailability. To address your microbial infection issues, Creative Biolabs can supply you with liposomes encapsulating antibacterial compounds such as Eugenol, nisin, and others.

• Liposomes for Freshness Preservation

Oxidation may accelerate the spoilage of food, reducing its shelf-life. Creative Biolabs can offer you liposomes that have preservation properties by encapsulating antioxidants.

• Liposomes for Nutritional Enhancement

Nutrients derived from functional foods have health-promoting effects. As carriers of functional food substances, liposomes can improve the stability and bioavailability of encapsulated substances, thus enhancing their health-promoting effects. Without a doubt, Creative Biolabs will be your best option for liposomes encapsulating vitamin C, vitamin E, coenzyme Q10, ferrous sulfate, and other nutrients.

Our Featured Liposomes for the Food Industry

Foods are regularly supplemented with nutrients such as oil, protein, vitamins, minerals, polyphenols, carotenoids, and others to increase their overall value and promote health.

• Plant essential oil (PEO)-loaded Liposomes

PEO is a great natural food preservative with strong antibacterial and antioxidant properties due to the synergistic impact of numerous components. Creative Biolabs has extensive expertise with liposome development and can encapsulate PEO, such as garlic essential oil, in liposomes to improve their water solubility, stability and mask their odor. hide their odor. If you require liposomes that can inhibit microbial infections in food, our PEO-loaded liposomes are the finest option.

• Marine oil-loaded liposomes

Because of the presence of long-chain ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid, EPA and DHA, edible marine oil (such as fish oil, crustacean oil, and cephalopod oil) can enhance heart function and stimulate brain and retinal development in infants. Compared to unencapsulated marine oils, our marine oil-loaded liposome reduces oxidative rancidity of unsaturated fatty acids and covers the unpleasant odors of marine oils.

• Enzyme-loaded Liposomes

Ripening cheese takes a long time and is not conducive to industrial development. Adding enzymes to milk may accelerate cheese ripening. Creative Biolabs provides enzyme-loaded liposomes that avoid the issues of reduced enzyme activity and quick casein proteolysis caused by adding enzymes directly to milk.

• Vitamin-loaded Liposomes

Vitamins, common food additives used as antioxidants and nutrient fortifiers, are highly sensitive to light and heat. Vitamins are popular food additions that serve as antioxidants and nutritional supplements, but they are extremely sensitive to light and heat. Creative Biolabs provides a broad range of vitamin-loaded liposomes that may be added to food to protect the vitamins from light and heat while maintaining the organoleptic properties of food.

• Mineral-loaded Liposomes

Minerals help the body maintain appropriate blood pressure and electrolyte balance. However, adding minerals directly to food can produce unpleasant sensory properties such as odor, taste, and appearance. Creative Biolabs can provide you with mineral-loaded liposomes, which avoid the adverse effects of free minerals on food.

• Other liposomes

Carotenoids and polyphenols are abundant in vegetables and spices. They have health advantages such as lowering the risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and neurological illnesses. Creative Biolabs can encapsulate carotenoids, polyphenols, and a wide range of other compounds to protect them against environmental elements such as light, heat, oxygen, and acids.
