The need to stabilize active compounds has notably increased in recent years. The reason is to better protect the sensitive, reactive and short shelf-life ingredients contained in final products used in many areas of industry. The protection process is influenced by a variety of factors, such as interaction with other components and the volatility or toxicity of active ingredients. Therefore, modern technology has led to the development of a variety of delivery systems that effectively address these important issues. By definition, a delivery system is any type of vehicle that makes an active substance available to a target site and that can provide beneficial properties from the cosmetic or therapeutic points of view.
