Current status in our understanding of physicochemical basis of bioaccessibility

This article provides a brief overview of recent advances in understanding the molecular and physicochemical basis of the digestion of lipids within the gastrointestinal tract, as well as the bioaccessibility of hydrophobic bioactives. In particular, we highlight the development of new methods of loading hydrophobic bioactives into colloidal delivery systems, progress in excipient foods, the use of in vivo testing methods, and the standardization of in vitro testing methods.Graphical abstract
