Abstract:
Hydrogel delivery systems based on polysaccharides and proteins have the ability to protect functional substances from chemical degradation, control/target release, and increase bioavailability. This chapter summarizes the recent progress in the utilization of hydrogel delivery systems for nutritional interventions. Various hydrogel delivery systems as well as their preparation, structure, and properties are given. The applications for the encapsulation, protection, and controlled delivery of functional substances are described. We also discuss their potential and challenges in managing chronic diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease, obesity, liver disease, and cancer, aiming at providing theoretical references for exploring novel hydrogel delivery systems and their practical prospects in precise nutritional interventions.
