Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the potential of polymorphic nanostarch as a delivery system.
  • To explore assembly strategies and properties of nanostarch-based carriers.
  • To summarize advantages, limitations, and future perspectives of polymorphic nanostarch for bioactive molecule delivery.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on nanostarch preparation and applications.
  • Analysis of nanostarch morphologies (nanosphere, nanorod, etc.) for bioactive assembly.
  • Evaluation of different assembly strategies (surface combination, embedment, encapsulation).

Main Results:

  • Polymorphic nanostars effectively capture bioactives on/in the carrier, enhancing stability.
  • Improved bioavailability of bioactive guests is achieved through various assembly approaches.
  • Nanostarch carriers facilitate targeted release triggered by microenvironment conditions.

Conclusions:

  • Polymorphic nanostarch presents a promising, versatile platform for bioactive delivery.
