Nanoscience and nanotechnology advances in food industry

Abstract

Nanotechnology is one of the advanced technologies, which undoubtedly contributes to various fields, including agriculture, biotechnology, engineering, architecture, medical sciences, food security, food technologies, etc. Nanotechnology, nanomaterials, and nanoparticle research play important roles in producing quality nano-based products for the improvements of crops, food shelf life, target-specific drug delivery, and hard materials with lower weight. Foods and food products perish easily over time. Nano-based technologies provide a higher level of benefits when compared to the normal and conventional methods to increase food quality. Increasing the shelf life will be one of the main applications through nanotechnologies, apart from reducing contamination, storage, and packaging. Like p
