With the introduction of nanotechnology in the food industry, new and innovative techniques have started to develop, which holds a promising future to end malnutrition and help achieve United Nations Sustainable Developmental Goal-2 (UN SDG-2), named as zero hunger. This review highlights the need for nanofortification of vitamin B-complex in food matrix to address challenges faced by conventional fortification methods (bioavailability, controlled release, physicochemical stability, and shelf life).
Background: The environmental and social problems associated with increasing world population and industrial development have brought concerns related to water and atmospheric pollution, climate change, as well as the production of staple food. In addition, concerns about healthy food for improving life quality have also increased. Scope and approach: In this review, microalgae composition, nutritional and functional characteristics are detailed for justifying the feasibility of employing their biomass as ingredients in staple foods for human consumption.

The use of grains as an alternative to wheat in breadmaking has rapidly grown in the last few years, driven by the Sustainable Development Goals toward improving food security and promoting sustainable agriculture. Flours from legumes, pseudo-cereals, minor cereals and milling by-products, such as bran, are of particular interest. The production of partially substituted or wheat-free bread is, however, a challenging task in terms of texture and flavour attributes.
