Abstract
Nutraceutical, a combination term of nutrition and pharmaceutical, refers to a wide variety of products including food and food-derived substances (polyphenols, vitamins, etc.). Nutraceuticals are seeking substantial attention because of their ostensible safety and nutritional and therapeutic value. They offer a substantial potential to improve the human health and well-being, together with the preclusion and cure of disease. But unfortunately they have low bioavailability, poor permeability and solubility, low absorption in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) and lack long-term stability. In order to combat all these issues, nanotechnological approach is a groundbreaking method in the field of healthcare. Nanoencapsulation of nutraceuticals using biopolymeric nanoparticles such as chitosan has manifold advantages, viz., availability, biodegradability, biocompatibility, antimicrobial property, and nontoxicity, and hence is considered safe to be used in the healthcare sector.
