Hydrogel beads can be designed to encapsulate emulsified hydrophobic substances and control their digestion and release under gastrointestinal conditions. In this study, the ability of nanocellulose-fortified alginate beads to control the behavior and digestibility of encapsulated lipid droplets und...
