Curcumin Nanoformulations for Dermatological Applications: From Nutraceuticals to Nanocarriers
Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 3, May 2026.Nanotechnology‐based delivery platforms enhance the cutaneous administration of curcumin. Loading free curcumin into polymeric micelles, metal‐based nanoparticles, nanogels/hydrogels, liposomes, polymeric nanoparticles, or nanoemulsions/nanocrystals helps address its low solubility, poor stability and limited skin permeation. As a result, these systems

Green Proteins: A Sustainable Alternative to Animal‐Based Proteins for Global Protein Security
Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 3, May 2026.This study highlights the drawbacks associated with animal‐based proteins, such as their contribution to greenhouse gas emissions, large‐scale land use, and worsening food insecurity. It suggests that green sources of proteins, including legumes, grains, seeds, leaves, and algae, are possible sustainable alternatives. Shifting towards these plant‐based
