Nanoencapsulation of Cyanidin 3- O-Glucoside: Purpose, Technique, Bioavailability, and Stability

Oscar Zannou et al. Nanomaterials (Basel). .

Abstract

The current growing attractiveness of natural dyes around the world is a consequence of the increasing rejection of synthetic dyes whose use is increasingly criticized. The great interest in natural pigments from herbal origin such as cyanidin 3-O-glucoside (C3G) is due to their biological properties and their health benefits. However, the chemical instability of C3G during processing and storage and its low bioavailability limits its food application. Nanoencapsulation technology using appropriate nanocarriers is revolutionizing the use of anthocyanin, including C3G. Owing to the chemical stability and functional benefits that this new nanotechnology provides to the latter, its industrial application is now extending to the pharmaceutical and cosmetic fields. This review focuses on the various nanoencapsulation techniques used and the chemical and biological benefits induced to C3G.

Keywords: bioavailability; cyanidin 3-O-glucoside; extraction; nanocarriers; nanoencapsulation.
