Potential of Nanotechnology in Dairy Processing: A Review
Published in Megh R Goyal, Sustainable Biological Systems for Agriculture, 2018
Carbohydrates, proteins, fats, food grade surfactants and waxes are the majority of encapsulating materials used in food applications. In general, an encapsulation model is shown in Figure 3.3. Nano and micro ingredients properties of dairy materials make them extremely appropriate to use them in encapsulation of bioactive components in foods.56, 63, 85 Milk fat, proteins (whey protein, casein, and lactoglobulin), and milk fat fractions, lactose and milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) constituents were used as encapsulating substances and in fabrication of encapsulation system.48, 60, 63, 103

Milk is a complex biological fluid that has evolved as the main source of nutrition and immunological protection for suckling young and humans of all ages. Among the different milk components, lipids in milk exist as a unique emulsion in the form of spherical droplets of varying sizes known as milk-fat globules (MFG) and are stabilized by a physiologically functional milk-fat globule membrane (MFGM).[1] The fat globules are highly structured, with a triglyceride core surrounded by a trilayer biological membrane composed of Mucin 1 (MUC 1), Xanthine dehydrogenase/oxidase (XDH/XO), CD 36 (PAS IV), phospholipids and oligosaccharides.[2] These components of the MFGM are critical and have been reported to demonstrate enormous health benefits, such as the reduction of aberrant crypt incidence,[3] attenuation of lung injury by MFG epidermal growth factor8,[4] and anticancer activity of buttermilk against colon cancer in humans.[5] In addition, MFGM supplementation has been reported to modulate the gut microbiome in neonates and normalize intestinal development.[6]
