Safety of Nanotechnology in Food Industries

The arrival of nanotechnology in various industries has been so rapid and widespread because of its wide-ranging applications in our daily lives. Nutrition and food service is one of the biggest industries to be affected by nanotechnology in all areas, changing even the nature of food itself. Whether it's farming, food packaging, or the prevention of microbial contamination the major food indus...

Nanotechnology: its impact on food safety.

The use of nanotechnology in the food safety industry is here-and if projections are correct, it will continue to grow rapidly over the next few years. Its potential for providing safer and more nutritious foods is important; however, there are still many uncertainties about the technology and its applications. We must make sure that the technology is safe and properly regulated to ensure maxim...

Nanotechnology in Food Industry; Advances in Food processing, Packaging and Food Safety

Nanotechnology is emerging as a rapidly growing field with its wide application in science and technology for manufacturing of new materials at nanoscale level (Albrecht et al., 2006). This technology gained a tremendous impetus due to its capability of reformulating metals into new nanosized particles, with dimension less than 100 nm in size. Due to nanoparticle size, their physio-chemical pro...
