Oleosomes contain a triacylglyceride lipid core surrounded by a phospholipid membrane and embedded oleosin protein. This structure gives oleosomes stability but they can become destabilized by factors like temperature fluctuations, oxidation, and contaminants. There are several approaches that can be taken to improve oleosome stability, such as using antioxidants to prevent oxidation, cryo- and lyoprotectants to reduce leakage from the core, cross-linkers and encapsulation to decrease aggregation, and chelating agents to trap trace metals that cause oxidation. Successfully applying these approaches could allow oleosomes to be used as a drug delivery system to encapsulate lipophilic bioactive compounds.
