Potential Applications of Nanotechnology in Food Systems

Abstract

The increasing awareness amongst consumers regarding food safety, food quality, food safety, and health benefits are impelling researchers to look for ways to enhance food quality without compromising the product's nutritional value. Currently, approaches to minimizing the microbial hazards for ensuring food safety have severe drawbacks and inefficiencies. The severity and frequency of foodborne diseases as a result of food contamination has made it essential for research communities around the world to devise and execute advanced products for food safety. Considering the intense competition amongst food industries and the vitality of innovation, nanotechnology has emerged as an attractive potential to address the drawbacks of existing technologies from the food safety perspective.
