Abstract: Curcumin has attracted extensive research attention due to its various biological activities. However, its low water solubility and biochemical/structural degradation during physiological transport lead to the low bioavailability which largely limited its economic value. Therefore, a large number of curcumin-based drug delivery systems have been introduced. The inclusion of curcumin into the biopolymer-based membrane delivery system is considered to have broad prospects. Polysaccharides, proteins, etc. are widely used as the polymeric carriers for the delivery of a variety of biologically active natural compounds. In this paper, the challenges existed in the process of curcumin delivery and the research progress in the construction of curcumin membrane delivery system are summarized. The role of curcumin membrane delivery system in food antioxidant packaging, freshness monitoring, antibacterial preservation and wound healing is also expounded aiming to provide a theoretical basis for the further development and application of curcumin.

Key words: curcumin, membrane delivery system, antioxidant, freshness monitoring, antibacterial
