Current key Role of Nanotechnology in Food System
Author(s): Young Han*
Numerous areas of food science have undergone radical change as a result of the quick development of nanotechnology,
particularly those that deal with food processing, packing, storage, transportation, functionality, and other safety-related issues.
The food industry has used a wide variety of nanostructured materials (NSMs), from inorganic metal, metal oxides, and
their nanocomposites to nano-organic materials incorporating bioactive chemicals. Despite the enormous advantages that
nanotechnology offers, there are growing worries about its application since the buildup of NSMs in the environment and
human bodies can pose a number of health and safety risks. As a result, when producing, processing, thoughtfully and actively
packing, and consuming food products that have undergone Nano processing, regulatory laws as well as safety and health
considerations must be t.. View more»
