Abstract:

Flavonoids are compounds characterized by a C6-C3-C6 basic skeleton, consisting of two benzene rings connected by three carbon atoms. They can be categorized into various subclasses, such as flavonoids and anthocyanins. These compounds exhibit numerous biological effects, including antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immune-boosting activities. However, flavonoids face challenges such as low solubility, poor stability, limited permeability, and low bioavailability due to their chemical composition. With the advancement and maturation of nanotechnology, nanoparticles derived from natural macromolecular substances have significantly improved the solubility and biological functions of flavonoids. This paper integrates and summarizes the research on flavonoid nanoparticles, elucidating their mechanisms of action and providing a theoretical basis for their development and application in animal production.

Key words: flavonoids, nanotechnology, bacteriostasis, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant
