This study aimed to assess the behaviour of phenolic compounds from yarrow extract encapsulated in nanoemulsions during in vitro gastrointestinal digestion. Oil-in-water nanoemulsions were developed using grape seed oil and lupin protein (LPI) as oil phase and emulsifier, respectively. The use of 6 % LPI including 1 mg/mL of yarrow extract resulted in nanoemulsions with a homogeneous particle size distribution (200 nm) and an encapsulation efficiency of 85.6 %. During in vitro gastrointestinal digestion, most of the phenolics remained encapsulated, being protected from degradation. The in vitro bioavailability of the encapsulated phenolics was measured using a cell co-culture model (Caco-2/HT-29MTX). In this regard, nanoemulsions did not increase the bioavailability of yarrow phenolics, instead, they promoted their access to the colon. Finally, the antiproliferative activity was determined in Caco-2 cells, observing that the apical fraction inhibited cancer cells, indicating the bioefficacy of the non-absorbed phenolics. Thus, this study underscores the potential of LPI-stabilized nanoemulsions as a vehicle for protecting and delivering yarrow phenolics to the colon.
