Abstract

In conclusion, the article shows that food grade airgel as a carrier matrix of functional ingredients protects micronutrients, healthy oils and bioactive compounds from degradation, improves their bioavailability and controls their release at the target site.

Relevance for the Red Tecnomifood

The aim of the current review is to highlight the influence of various production conditions on the final structural properties of each food grade airgel. Recent findings on the impregnation method, impregnation efficiency and controlled release properties of food grade aerogels loaded with various functional ingredients stand out.
