Part of the book series: Environmental Chemistry for a Sustainable World ((ECSW))

Abstract

Nanotechnology delivers emerging applications in functional food by engineering biological and synthetic molecules toward functions that are exceptionally changed from those they have originally. Nanotechnology has enhanced the superiority of foods by making them flavoured, nutritive and more healthier. Nanotechnology generates also novel food products, better packaging, coating and shelf storage techniques. Applications in food also improve shelf life, food quality, safety and fortification. Biosensors in food packaging are designed to detect contaminated or spoiled food. Nanotechnology improve food processes that use enzymes to confer nutrition and health benefits. This report reviews applications of nanotechnology in agriculture, and food science and technology. Furthermore, risk assessment, safety concerns and social implications are discussed.
