As the advancement in the area of food science and technology
in recent years, many novel techniques are now becoming available
for food industry to overcome many technological obstacles.
Nanotechnology and encapsulation are the two emerging technologies
that enable food scientists to achieve many innovations in
the segment of functional food production. Particularly, encapsulation
of lipophilic vitamins into nanoemulsion or polymeric
nanoparticles can greatly increase their stability and shelf-life
when incorporated into functional food products
