Liposomes are self-assembled particles having a water chamber that is surrounded by a lipid bilayer. This chapter has covered the liposomes in great detail, including how and where they were created, a broad description of their structure, and what distinct types of lipids they are composed of. Depending on their size, liposomes can be classified into several distinct varieties, such as enormous liposomes, multilamellar liposomes, and unilamellar liposomes. Depending on the context, different liposomes can be produced using various preparation techniques. In this chapter, we have also learned about the several fields in which liposomes have been extensively employed for the treatment of various diseases, biotechnology research, cosmetic items, nutraceuticals, and food. To increase the stability of the core, liposomes are important in the encapsulation of a variety of bioactive compounds (BACs), including functional food additives. In this chapter, we have also discussed the future perspective and scope where liposome technology can be exploited, the different fields in which liposome nanotechnology can be a boon, and the revolution it can make in pharmaceuticals.en-USPHARMACYliposomesvesiclesnanotechnologyphospholipidsdrug delivery systemBook chapter
