Abstract
The increasing awareness of the relationship between diet and health has driven a growing demand for functional foods enriched with bioactive compounds. These compounds, including polyphenols, carotenoids, vitamins, minerals, peptides, and unsaturated fatty acids, provide countless health benefits beyond basic nutrition, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. However, their direct use in food matrices is often limited due to challenges related to instability, poor solubility, and insufficient bioavailability. The past decade has witnessed extensive exploration of plant-based delivery systems as effective carriers for bioactive compounds due to their biocompatibility,…
