Abstract:

The production of nano-nutrients is a hot application of nanotechnology in today’s food industry. Supercritical anti-solvent (SAS) process is a new and green technology to prepare nano-materials, and has a broad application prospect in promoting the stability and bioavailability of nutrients. This review mainly introduced the principle, characteristics and classification of SAS technology and its application in production of nano-nutrients.

Key words: nano-nutrients, supercritical fluids, supercritical anti-solvent (SAS), carotenoid
