In this episode of The Aquaculture Podcast Show, we explore how nanotechnology improves curcumin and olive oil delivery in whiteleg shrimp diets. Poor bioavailability often limits phytogenics, but nanoemulsions enhance dispersion, absorption, and cellular uptake. Strong gains in feed efficiency, growth, immunity, and hepatopancreas health are observed, alongside improved economic returns. Practical implications for intensive systems highlight scalable innovation. Listen now on all major platforms!
Inspired by the 2024 article titled "Investigating the impact of nanoemulsion of curcumin‐loaded olive oil on growth performance, feed utilization, immunological responses, and redox status of Litopenaeus vannamei shrimp with emphasis on economic efficiency of supplementation" by Fath El‐Bab, Ahmed F., et al.
