The present invention provides colloidally stable dispersions of nanoparticles comprising beta-lactoglobulin and a polysaccharide which are transparent when diluted in aqueous media. In particular these colloidally stable dispersions of nanoparticles are useful as delivery vehicles of hydrophobic nutraceuticals and fat-soluble vitamins, for enrichment of food products, especially of transparent beverages and other non-fat or low fat foods and drinks. The present invention further provides methods for the preparation of said colloidally stable dispersions.
