Abstract

Nowadays, nutraceuticals gain popular growth and provide economic development. Despite current some controversies about the efficacy of some nutraceuticals, many researchers attempt to formulate nutraceuticals in novel forms to increase product efficacy and stability, addressing consumers requirements and to add value of the products. In this chapter, disclosed patents about compositions of nutraceuticals in forms of microemulsions, nanoemulsions and microparticles are discussed and successful examples are given.
