Can Nanotechnology Improve the Drawbacks of Deep-Sea Fish Oil?

Deep sea fish oil is widely used in preventing chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease. However, due to the low-melting, hydrobility, oxidation, side effects also appears to be serious, such as poisoning and bleeding may occur. Besides, the bioavailabililty of deep sea fish oil.is also low. At present, with the increasing popularity of nanotechnology, new functional foods developed through nano encapsulation or delivery technology have emerged in the fields of food safety and research and development (with significantly reduced side effects and significantly improved bioavailability). However, its still unclear that which nanotechnoly is the most efficient way to solve the unmet medical needs of deep fish oil. Therefore, this article aims to investigate the application of several different nanotech in improving deep sea fish oil, and discuss the feasibility of using nanotechnology to improve the high melting point, easy oxidation, and hydrophobicity of deep-sea fish oil from the preparation and purification steps. Through investigation, this thesis found that nano lotion is the most effective way to improve the drawbacks of deepsea fish oil due to the hydrophilic and oleophilic properties of nanolotion.
