Micronutrient malnutrition (or hidden hunger) caused by vitamin B-complex deficiency is a significant concern in the growing population. Vitamin B-complex plays an essential role in many body functions. 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). Further, different nanomaterials like organic, inorganic, carbon, and composites along with their applications, are discussed in detail. Among various nanomaterials, organic nanomaterials (lipid, polysaccharides, proteins, and biopolymers) were found best for fortifying vitamin B-complex in foods. Additionally, different regulatory aspects across the globe and prospects of this upcoming field are also highlighted in this review.
由复合维生素B缺乏引起的微量营养素营养不良（或隐性饥饿）是不断增长的人口中的一个重大问题。复合维生素B在许多身体功能中起着至关重要的作用。随着纳米技术在食品工业中的引入，新的创新技术开始发展，这为消除营养不良和帮助实现联合国可持续发展目标2（联合国可持续发展目标2），即零饥饿，带来了充满希望的未来。这篇综述强调了在食品基质中对复合维生素B进行纳米强化的必要性，以应对传统强化方法所面临的挑战（生物利用度、控释、物理化学稳定性和保质期）。此外，还详细讨论了不同的纳米材料，如有机、无机、碳和复合材料及其应用。在各种纳米材料中，发现有机纳米材料（脂质、多糖、蛋白质和生物聚合物）最适合在食品中强化复合维生素B。此外，本综述还强调了全球不同的监管方面以及这一新兴领域的前景。
