Abstract

Over recent years, nanofibers have been developed to be edible materials due to their superior properties. The large-demanded nanofibers for edible applications encourage researchers to develop further various methods for producing nanofibers. One of the methods is rotary forcespinning (RFS) that offers a huge potential to yield nanofibers with large-volume capacity and low-cost productivity compared with the other ones. This review provides recent advances on rotary forcespun nanofibers with emphasizing on basic principles of the RFS method and the essential factors affecting the produced nanofibers. The prospects of rotary forcespun nanofibers for edible applications, including food encapsulation, nutraceutical and drug delivery, edible coatings or films, and food packaging, are also elaborated. Possible challenges and future directions of the utilization of RFS method to produce nanofibers for edible applications are also discussed.
