Background/Objectives: The aim of the present study was to develop nanostructured lipid carrier (NLC)-filled hydrogel beads for delivery curcumin in functional foods. Methods: Curcumin-loaded NLC-filled based on calcium alginate were developed using extrusion method. Various preparation parameters, physicochemical characteristics, gastrointestinal fates, and antioxidant bioactivities studied confirm feasibility this system. Results: NLCs successfully filled into with an encapsulation efficiency above 80%. stability test displayed that encapsulated within further enhanced when beads. During vitro digestion, lipolysis rate matrix release adjusted by ex vivo intestinal permeation indicated from digestion products curcumin-loaded NLC-hydrogel beads, prepared appropriate concentrations (0.5% 1%), significantly compared NLCs. Furthermore, (1% alginate) exhibited bioactivity those Conclusions: This demonstrated might be a promising system hydrophobic bioactive compounds food systems.
