Abstract
Recent research has indicated that proteins can be effectively utilized for the fabrication of various different nanostructures with promising applications for the delivery of bioactive ingredients. This chapter presents current information on different types of nanostructured proteins in terms of their fabrication methods, physicochemical characteristics, retention of bioactive compounds, and release mechanisms. The most recent studies on various proteins of both animal and plant origin are included. The effect of manufacturing parameters on functional and physicochemical properties of the nanostructured proteins and bioavailability of encapsulated bioactives are discussed. Particular emphasis is given to the role of interactions between the bioactive ingredient and nanostructured protein on retention and protection of the bioactive.
