Bioactive peptides have garnered significant attention for their health benefits and therapeutic potential across food and biomedical industries. However, their application is often limited by poor stability, low bioavailability, and susceptibility to degradation. This review provides a comprehensive overview of conventional and stimuli-responsive delivery systems designed to enhance their stability, bioavailability and efficacy via targeted delivery and controlled release in various applications. The conventional delivery systems, including emulsion-, nanoparticle,- liposome-, and hydrogel-ba...
