Food Nanotechnology

The realm of food nanotechnology has been garnering increasing interest and is unveiling a realm of new possibilities for the food industry. Nanotechnology revolves around the manipulation of minute matter, typically within the size range of 1 to 100 nanometers. Given that food and water inherently consist of particles at the nanometer scale, engineered nanoparticles have a remarkable capacity to permeate these substances due to their similar properties. These nanoparticles function collectively, executing transport functions that offer practical advantages across various sectors, with a particular focus on food-related applications.

These applications include:

• Nano Encapsulation
• Structured Nano-Sized Additives
• Nano Coating
• Nano-Sized Agrochemicals
