AN INNOVATIVE GREEN PLATFORM TECHNOLOGY TO MANUFACTURE NOVEL MULTIFUNCTIONAL HOLLOW SOLID LIPID MICRO- AND NANOPARTICLES

Objective

The long-term goal of this project is to develop innovative yet simple, efficient, and green strategies to manufacture novel lipid particles for improved quality, functionality, stability, and health benefits. The main objective of this project is to develop an innovative and green particle formation technology to manufacture first-of-their-kind hollow solid lipid micro- and nanoparticles as novel ingredients for different food applications. Specific objectives are:Design, fabricate, and characterize HoSoLiP using SC-CO2,Develop novel natural antimicrobial lipid particles,Develop novel free-flowing powder fish oil formulation, andDevelop novel low-density and free-flowing powder shortenings.
