Almonds were fabricated into nanoparticles by top down approach using cryogenic ball milling machine and also ground to form almond paste. The nanopaste was characterized using SEM, EDS, uv- Spectroscopy and FTIR Results revealed that the size of almond nanoparticles were in the range of 54-96nm and supplementation of 2g of almond nanopaste for a period of two months brought about reduction in lipid profile of hypercholesterolemic subjects.
