Role of Nanotechnology in Sustainable Food Processing

Abstract

The modern-day approaches for healthy, functional, and convenient foods have shaped the food industry to adopt a continuous change in the product outfit to meet the ever-growing demands of consumers for innovative food products. In recent times nanotechnology has emerged as a novel method for the production, processing, and improvement in functionality, delivery of biomolecules, etc. taking advantage of the reconstructing nature at the nanoscale which beyond increasing the surface area also results in several other active benefits. The industry has shown its potential in important human and environmental health ramifications. Nano processing in the form of nanoemulsions and nanoparticles has revealed their potential in various fields of food processing and preservation including diverse fi
