Comparative review of colloidal delivery strategies for hydrophobic bioactives: Pickering emulsions, emulsion gels, and nanogels.
Hydrophobic bioactives (e.g., curcumin, carotenoids, polyphenols) offer substantial health benefits but are fundamentally limited by poor water solubility, environmental instability, and low gastrointestinal bioavailability. While colloidal delivery systems help overcome these barriers, current research typically isola...
