Role of Nanotechnology in Food Sector

Abstract

Nanotechnology is a new emerging technology which hasapplications in different areas like it plays an important role infood sector and is used during food processing and foodpackaging. Nano-food may provide proper nutrientsupplements like iron, vitamins, proteins and essential minerals.Nanotechnology is also self-assured to develop quality foodpackaging materials and can reduce plastic use. Scientists alsogoing to develop nm sized salt grain particles that may increasesurface area; hence our food materials require very less salt togive our taste buds that will cure high blood pressure. Beerbottles made by Plastics are used by many brewer SABMillerthat contain a layer of nano-particles of clay that easily separableand filled more space in walls of beer and makes it harder forfizzy CO2 to free from the beer or for O2, that spoil the flavor ofbeer. There are many Government stakeholders and agencies todetermine limitations and release demonstrative prescriptionand proclamation, as early as possible before -food packaging bynano materials that may have considerable impacts on health ofhuman being. This review focused on the availability of nano-food packaging, processing and their supplements in the currentmarket.
