This section discusses nanotechnology and how the
manipulation of matter on a nanoscale impacts the society. It
focuses on both the advantages of nanotechnology. In the
pursuit of science and technology, humans are now dealing
more with a world not seen by naked eye. This is no surprise

 •Nanotechnology is the branch of technology that deals
with the manipulation and study of matter at the
nanoscale. It covers all types of research and technologies
that deal with the special properties of matter on an atomic
molecular and supramolecular scale. Scientists in the field
of chemistry, biology, physics, materials science, and
engineering are all involved in studying matter on the
nanoscale.

 •Nanotechnology is
“convergent” because it brings together various fields of science
through its innovations. It also involves design, characterization,
production, and application of structures, devices, and systems by
controlling shapes and sizes at the nanometer scale. This
technology is “enabling” in the sense that it provides the
platform and the tools to produce innovations.

 Abstract

Nanotechnology is now invading the food industry and

establishing great potential. Nanotechnology applications in
food industry include: encapsulation and delivery of
substances in targeted sites, increasing the flavor,
introducing antibacterial nanoparticles into food,
enhancement of shelf life, sensing contamination, improved
food storage, tracking, tracing and brand protection.

Ms. Panes VIEW MORE

 Abstract

Nano food processing and products can change the color, flavor,
or sensory characteristics; they also change the nutritional
functionality, removes chemicals or pathogens from food. Nano
food packaging materials may extend food life due to high barrier
packaging, improve food safety, alert consumers that food is
contaminated or spoiled, repair tears in packaging, and even
release preservatives to extend the life of the food in the package.

Ms. Panes VIEW MORE

 Abstract

Nanobarcodes are used for safety labeling and monitor

distribution of food products. Nano-supplements can be easily
incorporated by encapsulation techniques for nutritional and drug
delivery systems effectively. And as health plays a major role in
food the disadvantages of the technology is to be concerned.

Ms. Panes VIEW MORE

 Food Processing
Food processing is the conversion of raw
ingredients into food and its other forms by
making it marketable and with long shelf life.
Processing includes toxin removal, prevention
from pathogens, preservation, improving the
consistency of foods for better marketing and
distribution. Processed foods are usually less
susceptible to early spoilage than fresh foods and
are better suited for long distance transportation
from the source to the consumer.

Ms. Panes
 Food Packaging

Food packaging for food requires protection,

tampering resistance, and special physical,
chemical, or biological needs. It also shows the
product that is labelled to show any nutrition
information on the food being consumed. The
packing has a great significance in preserving the
food to make it marketable.

Ms. Panes
 Barrier Protection

The food products are preserved by maintaining it

in an inert and low oxygen atmosphere for
inhibiting microbial growth and spoilage, thus the
material used should be impermeable to gases.
Nanocomposites are incorporated in the polymer
matrix of the substances due to their large surface
area which favors the fillermatrix interactions and
its performance.

Ms. Panes
 Antimicrobial Packaging

The barriers include natural Nanoparticle to

control microbial growth which leads to
pathogens or spoiling. Silver nano particles are
used in all forms including biotexiles, electrical
appliances, refrigerators, kitchenware’s. Silver
nanoparticles show needed action in bulk form,
and its ions have the ability to inhibit wide range
of biological processes in bacteria

Ms. Etom
 Biodegradable
Pollution is the most concerning factor which affects
the environmental characteristics. The effect of
nondegradable plastics changes the soil nature and
accumulation of toxic gases in atmosphere leads to
global warming, hence bio degradable plastics came
into effect but they lack mechanical strength and
permeable to water and gases .These disadvantages are
prevailed over by nanotechnology incorporated
packaging material made of natural or synthetic
nanoparticles having properties like bio-degradable,
renewable resources having high mechanical strength.
Ms. Etom
 Smart Packaging
Sensors are devices used to detect the physical quantity
of substances and converts into observer readable
signals. They are used to regulate the internal
environment of the food stuffs and their properties are
sensed regularly which is indicated by sensors. A
recent report shows that the current smart packaging
segment is dominated by oxygen scavengers, moisture
absorbers and barrier packing product, accounting for
80% of the market. Whereas the bakery and meat
products having attracted most nano-enabled
packaging technology to date.
Ms. Etom
 Nutritional Supplements
According to a survey, the total market value of
nanofood would reach US$5.8 billion (food processing
US$1303 million, food ingredients US$1475 million,
food safety US$97 million and food packaging US$2.93
billion) in 2012.Thus making heavy profit to economy
[11]. Nanoceuticals, Nutrition-be-nanotech, are
commercial names for supplements.

Supplementary aspect main involves encapsulation

techniques where the needed probiotics, and other products
are targeted into the human system with the help of iron and
zinc nano structured capsules [12]-[14]. Thus, nanotechnology
in food supplement is very effective than common
supplements because they react more effectively with human
Ms. Etom cells due to their size.
 Conclusion

Food is any substance which contains nutritional value,

when consumed they are ingested by the organism they
breakdown to produce energy and sustain life .The energy
is produced at the cellular level due to many pathways.
Healthier the food is, more energy is produced to maintain
the metabolism of the body.

Ms. Etom VIEW MORE

 Conclusion
Packaging is revolutionized due to the integration of nanocomposites,
nanosensors, bio-degradable nanocomposites for leakage proof, gases
free, and pathogen less food packaging. They act as barrier for exchange
of gases and maintain the quality of food using nanoclays, the formation
of bacterial and fungal organisms or any kind of pathogens and toxins are
terminated using antimicrobial packaging using silver, titanium oxide, zinc
oxide and other bionanoparticles. Biodegradable nanocomposites
packaging are of great potential to environment. Smart packaging allows
the consumers to choose right products which have good shelf life and
also by indicating the nature and other characteristics of the food.
Ms. Etom
VIEW MORE
 Conclusion

Nutritional supplements with the combination of nanotechnology deliver

the drugs efficiently. Also many commercial nutraceuticals are available.
These supplements interact most powerfully with cells and easily
acceptable. Even though nanotechnology came to effect in foods by
producers’ it is yet to be recognized by the consumers, due to the ethical
issues and unawareness. The potential use of nanotechnology and its
benefits in industry and consumers health has to be spread.

Ms. Etom VIEW MORE

 Conclusion

The interaction of nanoparticles and cells leads to debate about

some pessimistic approach to nanofoods .But the wide potential of
nanotechnology in overall food industry and its benefits in providing
rich nutritional value, quality packaging, smart sensing are to be
borne in mind and relevant research for more safer techniques for
incorporation of nanotechnology in food industry has to be
implemented.
