TLDR Certain plant oils are good for heart health and weight control but need protection before use in foods.

The document "Plants based rich sources of polyunsaturated fatty acids: A comprehensive review" discusses the health benefits of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) like omega-3 and omega-6 found in many oil seeds. These PUFAs have anti-inflammatory characteristics that can lower the risk of heart diseases and obesity. However, PUFAs are prone to oxidation and need to be protected before being used in food products. This protection is achieved through a process called microencapsulation, which involves encasing microscopic particles in a polymeric shell. The review also details various techniques of microencapsulation, including single and double emulsion technique, spray drying, phase separation coacervation technique, fluidised bed coating, and solvent evaporation.
