Nanotechnology in food and food processing
Author(s): Emanuel Ungaro
Food nanotechnology is an emerging technology. Nanoscience and nanotechnology are new frontiers of our century. In comparison to their usage in medicine delivery and pharmaceuticals, their uses in agriculture and food are relatively new. Many scientists and engineers have identified nanotechnology's potential to dominate all food businesses in the twentyfirst century. Even while practical applications of nanotechnology to food are still rare, certain fundamental nanoscale ideas have been thoroughly established. Two key uses of nanotechnology in the realm of food engineering are expected: food nanosensing and food nanostructured ingredients. Nanotechnology can be used to improve food quality and safety evaluation in the former field. Advances in technologies such as DNA microarrays, micro-electromechanical systems, and microfluidics will allow nanotechnology's potential for foo.. Read More»
