摘要

Liposomal formulations that encapsulate bioactive compounds can be used in meat products, such as sausages and ham, to enhance their health benefits and preservation. This chapter describes a method for producing liposomes containing a hydrophobic bioactive compound using a simple, continuous flow process. The process employs a push-pull, pressure-controlled microfluidic system. The liposomes are prepared using 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DSPC) lipid and an optimal lipid-to-cholesterol ratio of 2:1. To facilitate homogeneous distribution into the meat product, the liposomes can be previously mixed into the brine. In addition, they can also be added to active packaging.
