Abstract
experiments confirmed that FX-MVs enhanced intestinal retention. Finally, the oral biosafety of FX-MVs was evaluated. The mice fed FX-MVs did not show toxicity signs and adverse effects, based on the results of clinical observation, body weight, hematology, clinical biochemistry, and organ pathology. Altogether, these results suggest that synthetic probiotic membrane vesicles can be used as safe delivery carriers to improve the stability and bioavailability of hydrophobic food bioactive ingredients.
