Self‐assembled α‐lactalbumin nanostructures: encapsulation and controlled release of bioactive molecules in gastrointestinal <i>in vitro</i> model
The present study shows the possibility of nano α-la as an alternative to molecule delivery systems and nutraceutical foods' formulation because of the high capacity to encapsulate hydrophobic molecules and the improvement of techno-functional properties. However, the nanocarrier is not perfectly suitable for the sustainable delivery of molecules in the gastrointestinal fluid, demanding improvements in the nanocarrier. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.
