Nanotechnology has been employed for the creation of structured colloidal delivery systems that enhance the performance of functional food ingredients, such as vitamins, minerals, nutraceuticals, antimicrobials, antioxidants, colors, and flavors. A successful colloidal delivery system must be specifically designed for the particular application, which depends on the nature of the functional ingredient and end product. Nanotechnology principles are being used to tailor the composition, size, shape, charge, and morphology of the colloidal particles utilized for this purpose. This article provides an overview of some of the major developments in this area over the past few years. In particular, it focuses on recent advances in the design and fabrication of multiple-bioactive delivery systems, plant-based delivery systems, and delivery systems for specific food applications.

纳米技术已用于创建结构化的胶体输送系统，该系统可增强功能性食品成分的性能，例如维生素，矿物质，营养食品，抗微生物剂，抗氧化剂，色素和风味剂。成功的胶体递送系统必须针对特定应用进行专门设计，这取决于功能成分和最终产品的性质。纳米技术原理正用于调整用于此目的的胶体颗粒的组成，大小，形状，电荷和形态。本文概述了过去几年中该领域的一些主要发展。特别是，它着重于多种生物活性递送系统，基于植物的递送系统的设计和制造方面的最新进展，
