Bioactive lipids, such as fat-soluble vitamins, omega-3 fatty acids, conjugated linoleic acids, carotenoids and phytosterols play an important role in boosting human health and wellbeing. These lipophilic substances cannot be synthesized within the human body, and so people must include them in their diet. There is increasing interest in incorporating these bioactive lipids into functional foods designed to produce certain health benefits, such as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anticancer and cholesterol-lowering properties. However, many of these lipids have poor compatibility with food matrices and low bioavailability because of their extremely low water solubility. Nanotechnology is a promising technology that can be used to overcome many of these limitations. Different kinds of nanoscale delivery systems have been designed to encapsulate and protect bioactive lipids, thereby facilitating their handling, stability, food matrix compatibility, and bioavailability.

1. Introduction

Bioactive lipids are oil-soluble compounds that may provide certain health benefits to humans when consumed in appropriate amounts, i.e., doses and frequencies. Depending on their mechanisms of action, they may boost the immune system, reduce inflammation, improve bone health, eye and brain functions, reduce coronary heart diseases, and act as antioxidants and anticarcinogens ^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]. Some of the most commonly studied bioactive lipids that may promote human health and well-being are phytosterols (e.g., β-sitosterol, stigmasterol, campesterol), fat soluble vitamins (e.g., vitamins A, D, E, K), carotenoids (e.g., β-carotene, lycopene, lutein, zeaxanthin, astaxanthin) and essential fatty acids (e.g., ALA, EPA, DHA, CLA,) ^[5]^[6] (Figure 1). As well as their traditional bioactivities (Section 2), a number of studies have recently shown that consumption of some of these bioactive lipids may also provide protection against human coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. For instance, ingestion of EPA and DHA has been reported to reduce inflammation, cytokine storm and blood coagulation, which might play role an important role in the recovery of patients with Covid-19 infection ^[7]^[8]^[9]. Health professionals have also recommended Covid-19 patients to take vitamin D to modulate respiratory tract disorders, boost immune cell proliferation and activity, and promote pulmonary ACE2 expression mechanisms ^[10].

Figure 1. Chemical structures of bioactive lipids: (a) fat soluble vitamins, carotenoids, phytosterols, (b) polyunsaturated fatty acids.

Most bioactive lipids are not synthesized in the human body and so they have to be obtained from food sources, such as nuts, seeds, grains, eggs, meat, fish, tomato, fruits, and vegetables ^[1]^[11]^[12]^[13]. However, many people do not get enough of these bioactive compounds from their regular diets due to their low dietary levels, tendency to degrade during processing or storage, and their poor stability, solubility, and absorption characteristics within the human gut ^[14]^[15]^[16]^[17]. The food industry is therefore exploring methods of fortifying foods with stable and bioavailable forms of these bioactive lipids.

Nanotechnology has emerged as a powerful means of encapsulating, protecting, and delivering bioactive substances in foods, thereby improving their efficacy ^[18]^[19]. These nanoscale delivery systems should be constructed entirely from food grade ingredients and should be designed to provide resistance against the elevated temperatures, light levels, and oxygen levels they may be exposed to during food processing and storage. They should also be designed to be stable within the specific food matrix that they are utilized within.

2. Bioactive Lipids

2.1. Fat Soluble Vitamins

Fat soluble vitamins are hydrophobic micronutrients that humans must consume to maintain various body functions and ensure health and wellbeing (Figure 1a) ^[6]^[20]. Vitamin A (all-trans retinol) is found in a variety of foods, with the chemical form depending on the source. Retinol is mainly found in plant-based foods while retinyl esters are found in animal-based foods. Vitamin A is known to improve visual health, help reproduction, boost the immune system, and promote growth ^[21]. Vitamin D is a steroid hormone that comes in two major forms: vitamin D₂ (ergocalciferol) and D₃ (cholecalciferol). In the body, the most bioactive form of vitamin D is 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D₃, which plays an important role in modulating the immune system, calcium metabolism, and the maintenance of bone and teeth health ^[22]. Vitamin E is comprised of a number of tocopherols (α-, β-, γ-, and δ-tocopherol) and tocotrienols (α-, β-, γ-, and δ-tocotrienol) that are essential for human health and performance. They also act as natural antioxidants and help prevent cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and skin diseases ^[23]. Vitamin K is a group of hydrophobic compounds (phylloquinones and menaquinones) that all have a methylated naphthoquinone ring system, which are substituted with isoprenoid and isoprene side chains, respectively. Vitamin K is a micronutrient whose ingestion helps prevent blood clotting and modulates bone health ^[24].

2.2. Carotenoids

Carotenoids are tetraterpenoid lipids that can be divided into two major classes according to their chemical structure: carotenes that are nonoxygenated (e.g., α-carotene, β-carotene, and lycopene) and xanthophylls (e.g., lutein, zeaxanthin, fucoxanthin, and β-cryptoxanthin) that are oxygenated (Figure 1a). Carotenoids are abundant in yellow/orange fruit and vegetables, dark leafy green vegetables, and algae. β-carotene has pro-vitamin A function, since it is converted into vitamin A in the human body through metabolic pathways. Lutein and zeaxanthin retard the progression of age-related cataracts and help to improve cognitive function and cardiovascular health ^[2]^[25]. Lycopene has been reported to inhibit breast and prostate cancer, reduced the risk of cardiovascular disease, and retard nerval degenerative diseases ^[26]. Fucoxanthin can be isolated from seaweed and is claimed to exhibit anticancer, antidiabetic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial activities, was as providing protection against liver, brain, bone, skin, and eye diseases ^[27]^[28].

2.3. Phytosterols

Phytosterols (plant sterols and stanols) are important structural components of plant cell membranes (Figure 1a) ^[12]. Sterols can occur in free form or esterified and glycosylated bound form. The most common forms of phytosterols found in foods are β-sitosterol, stigmasterol and campesterol. Phytosterols have been reported to reduce the risk of inflammatory diseases, as well as arteriosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases by lowering serum LDL-cholesterol concentrations ^[3]^[29].

2.4. Essential Fatty Acids (Omega-3s and CLA)

Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are the major kinds of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) found in foods (Figure 1b) ^[11]. Fish oil is the main source of EPA and DHA in the human diet, although algae oil is also an important source of DHA ^[30]. Consumption of adequate amounts of omega-3 PUFAs has been reported to reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases, boost neurological and visual functions, promote healthy aging, and improve cognitive functions in Alzheimer patients ^[4]. ALA is derived from plant seed oils and can be converted to EPA and DHA in vivo, but at a relatively low conversion rate ^[31]. Consequently, there is interest in fortifying plant-based foods with ALA as a non-animal source of healthy lipids ^[32]. Conjugated linoleic acids (CLA) are a group of positional and geometric isomers of linoleic acid. The most common bioactive isomers are cis-9, trans-11-CLA (9-CLA) and trans-10, cis-12-CLA (10-CLA), which belong to the n-7 and n-6 family, respectively. In vitro and animal models have shown that CLAs have various potential health benefits, including hypolipidemic, anti-carcinogenic, ostheosynthetic, anti-diabetagenic, and immunomodulatory effects. The major dietary sources of CLA are dairy and meat products from ruminants ^[33].

3. Nanoscale Delivery Systems for Encapsulation of Bioactive Lipids

Nanoscale delivery systems can be used to improve the handling, stability, and bioavailability of bioactive lipids ^[16]^[19]^[34]^[35]. For specific applications, nanotechnology has advantages over conventional encapsulation technologies, due to the smaller particle size and greater surface area of the carrier particles employed. Several lipid-based nanoscale delivery systems have been developed and to protect and deliver bioactive lipids, which differ in their compositions, structures, and functionalities (Figure 2) ^[16]^[36]. The functional performance of many of these delivery systems can be tailored for specific applications by changing the size, shape, charge, composition, or aggregation state of the nanoparticles they contain (Figure 3). A number of the most widely used nanoscale delivery systems for bioactive lipids are highlighted here.

Figure 2. Various kinds of edible nanoparticles are available to encapsulate, protect, and delivery bioactive substances in foods.

Figure 3. The properties of edible nanoscale delivery systems can be controlled to tailor their functionality.

4. Improved Food Matrix Compatibility and Handling

Encapsulation of bioactive lipids in nanoparticles is widely used to improve their compatibility with different kinds of food matrices. The exterior of these nanoparticles is usually hydrophilic, which means they can be readily dispersed into the aqueous environments found in many foods and beverages, such as soft drinks, milk analogs, yogurts, dressings, sauces, and condiments. Nevertheless, the nanoparticles must also be designed to remain stable under the specific solution conditions found within a particular food product, such as its pH, ionic strength, and ingredient formulation. This means that any repulsive interactions between the nanoparticles, typically electrostatic and/or steric, must be designed to be stronger than any attractive interactions, typically van der Waals, hydrophobic, bridging and/or depletion ^[37]. This can be achieved by controlling the interfacial composition and structure, particularly the charge, thickness, and polarity of the nanoparticle coating.

Nanotechnology can also be used to improve the handling and storage of bioactive lipids. For instance, the bioactive lipids can be converted into a liquid, gel, powdered, or solid form that can facilitate their transport and utilization during the manufacturing process. Moreover, trapping the bioactive lipids within nanoparticles can improve their resistance to creaming, sedimentation, flocculation, or coalescence during storage, as well as their resistance to chemical degradation, thereby increasing the shelf-life of the food product ^[38]. Nevertheless, nanoscale delivery systems must be carefully designed to retain the encapsulated bioactive lipids throughout storage, as well as to protect them from the specific environmental stressors they are exposed to, such as pH changes, heating, cooling, shearing, and dehydration. In the remainder of this section, examples of some of the nanoparticle-based systems used to improve the food matrix compatibility or handling of bioactive lipids are given.

Nanoliposomes have been used to incorporate fish oil into yogurts so as to fortify them with health-promoting omega-3 fatty acids ^[39]. Nanoencapsulation of the fish oils significantly increased the overall acceptance and taste, aroma, texture, and appearance of the yogurts compared utilization of non-encapsulated (free) fish oil. Fish oil has also been encapsulated within caseinate-gum arabic nanocomplexes that were converted into a powdered form and then introduced into fruit juices ^[40]. Sensory analysis of these omega-3 enriched fruit juices (60 mg EPA+DHA/100 mL) indicated an acceptable taste by consumer panelists, suggesting that nanoencapsulation masked off-flavors from the fish oil. In another study, fish oil was encapsulated within nanoliposomes that were then incorporated into bread, without adversely affecting the texture or sensory acceptability ^[41]. Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) has been encapsulated within NLCs that were then added to low-fat milk ^[42]. Encapsulation was shown to improve the oxidative stability of the CLA, thereby extending the shelf life of the product.

Nanoencapsulation has also been used to improve the food matrix compatibility of various kinds of carotenoids. For instance, astaxanthin has been encapsulated within oil-in-water nanoemulsions that were then successfully introduced into orange juice and milk to form stable carotenoid-fortified products ^[43]. Zeaxanthin has been encapsulated in biopolymer nanoparticles and nanoemulsions and then incorporated into yogurt ^[44]. Encapsulation of the carotenoids improved their chemical stability, while having no adverse effects on the appearance, color, flavor, consistency, and texture of the fortified yogurts. Carotenoids extracted from Cantaloupe melon have also been encapsulated in nanoemulsions stabilized by whey proteins and gelatin, which were then incorporated into yogurt ^[45]. In this case, nanoencapsulation improve the dispersibility and color stability of the carotenoids in the yogurt compared to a crude carotenoid extract. Lycopene has been encapsulated within SLN and NLC systems, which were then successfully introduced into an orange drink without adversely affecting its sensory attributes ^[46].

Powdered forms of bioactive-loaded nanoparticles can be produced by spray drying, which improves the handling and storage stability. The powders produced can be directly incorporated into dried food products, such as soup mixes, fruit powders, cereal powders, and infant formulas, by simple mixing, or they can be redispersed in water and then incorporated into wet food products, such as beverages, soups, or sauces ^[47]. Flaxseed oil (56% α-linolenic acid) has been encapsulated within nanocomplexes formulated from high amylose corn starch, which were then converted into a powdered form using spray drying ^[48]. The resulting powder was then used to fortify bread with omega-3 fatty acids. The encapsulated flaxseed oil had higher oxidative stability than free flaxseed oil during baking, which reduced off-flavor and acrylamide formation.

Vitamin D₃ has been encapsulated within NLCs, which were then introduced into a yogurt-based beverage (“Lassi”), without adversely affecting the sensory attributes of the fortified product, such as appearance, flavor, aftertaste, and homogeneity ^[49]. Plant-based nanoemulsions have been used to encapsulate vitamin D and introduce them into plant-based milk analogs, such as almond and oat milks ^[50]. The nanoemulsions did not negatively alter the color or viscosity of the fortified milk analogs. Some examples of food and beverages that have been fortified with nanoencapsulated bioactive lipids are provided in Table 1.
