Food protein conversion into functional biomaterials, including their application for loading and delivering physiologically active pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals, has received increased attention over the past ten years. Since proteins are biocompatible, amphipathic, and readily available, they outperform other platforms for the creation of nanodelivery systems. Additionally, the encapsulation and release properties of proteins can be altered by modifying specific functional groups and unique molecular structures. Preparing protein nanoformulations has required a variety of physical and chemical approaches, each based on distinct protein chemistry. From the perspective of their preparation, functionality, stability, and physiological behavior, the chemistry of the reorganization and/or modification of proteins into functional nanostructures for delivery is the primary focus of this review.
