Comparative evaluation of protein- and non-protein-stabilized lycopene nanoemulsions: physicochemical properties, antioxidant activity, protein denaturation inhibition, and gastrointestinal stability

Lycopene is a highly hydrophobic carotenoid with remarkable antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties; however, its application in aqueous food systems remains limited because of its poor water dispersibility and chemical instability. In this study, lycopene nanoemulsions were prepared using a combined solvent dis...
