Abstract
Background: Investigation on and the utilization of polyphenols, acquire presently attracted major fascination about the functional foods, nutraceutical and pharmaceutical industries, owing to their prospective health advantages to mankind.
Limitation of Polyphenols: Nevertheless, the utilization of polyphenols appears to be limited because of their low aqueous solubility, minimal oral bioavailability and short biological half life. These issues limit the bioaccessibility and potential health benefits of this polyphenol in pharmaceutical products.
Conclusion: Recently, various encapsulation technologies are designed for enhancing the solubility, bioavailability and controlled release of polyphenols. In this review, we have discussed various formulation strategies used for the polyphenols to overcome the drawbacks associated with poor stability and bioavailability.
Keywords: Polyphenols, encapsulation, formulation, bioavailability.

Functional Foods in Human Health and Beyond
Foods are important source of nutrients including carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and other minerals. Furthermore, the functional foods are those agents that have additional components that are essential supports to the body in terms of antioxidant and pharmacologically active agents. The predominant functional foods are of plant in origin, whereas some ...read more
Harnessing Bioactive Compounds from Food Waste: Sustainable Extraction Strategies and Health Applications
Food waste presents a significant challenge across the postharvest cycle, from agricultural production to distribution. However, within this waste lies a treasure trove of bioactive chemicals that hold immense potential for nutraceuticals, functional foods, and postharvest additives, including antimicrobials. Various extraction methods, such as solvent extraction (SE), supercritical fluid extraction ...read more
