front cover

The front cover features artwork by David Julian McClements and Hang Xiao from Massachusetts, USA. In their work, they research how the oral bioavailability of many lipophilic bioactive agents (pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals) is limited due to various physicochemical and physiological processes. Excipient foods can be designed to improve the oral bioavailability of these bioactive agents.
