Many bioactive compounds like lipids, short-chain fatty acids, functional chelates, probiotics, and antioxidants are vulnerable to acids and enzymes in the stomach and duodenum. The encapsulation of these bioactive compounds allows them not just to avoid such adverse conditions but also to readily assimilate easily. In addition to that, small edible nanoparticles are developed for significant health gain to increase the regular supply of pharmaceutical items, probiotics, vitamins, and fragile micronutrients. The different strategies for encapsulating miniatures to include nutrients such as protein and antioxidants more useful for specific nutritional and health benefits include nanocomposite, nano-emulsification, and nanostructure. Polymeric nanoparticles are sufficient to secure and transmit bioactive compounds to specific bioactive compound encapsulation functions (flavonoids and vitamins) [21–23].
