Abstract: Electrospinning is a technology for manufacturing nano-sized polymer fiber films. The prepared nanofiber membrane has the advantages of high specific surface area, good continuity and strong functionality. At present, electrospinning is widely used in medicine, energy, food and other fields. In this paper, the principle, influencing factors and research progress of electrospinning technology in active substance embedding, food detection, food additives, etc. were summarized, and the prospect of this technology in the development of plant products is prospected, so as to provide reference for further research and application expansion in food field.
