Molecular Encapsulation by Starch/Amylose Inclusion Complex
Starch-guest inclusion complex is a well known supramolecular guest-host structure where guest molecules can be accommodated in the helical cavity of amylose. We propose to develop starch-guest inclusion complexes as a delivery system for guest molecules of interest such that the active guests, such as essential fatty acids, lipophilic vitamins, and drugs, can be protected against the adverse environment, and their bioavailability may be increased.
