Nanotechnology has developed remarkably in recent years and,
applied in the food industry, has allowed new industrial advances,
the improvement of conventional technologies, and the
commercialization of products with new features and
functionalities. This progress offers the potential to increase
productivity for producers, food security for consumers and
economic growth for industries. Food Applications of Nanotechnology
presents the main advances of nanotechnology for food industry
development. The fundamental concepts of the technique are
presented, followed by examples of application in several sectors,
such as the enhancement of flavor, color and sensory
characteristics; the description of the general concepts of
nano-supplements, antimicrobial nanoparticles and other active
compounds into food; and developments in the field of packaging,
among others. In addition, this work updates readers on the
industrial development and the main regulatory aspects for the
safety and commercialization of nanofoods. Features: Provides a
general overview of nanotechnology in the food industry Discusses
the current status of the production and use of nanomaterials as
food additives Covers the technological developments in the areas
of flavor, color and sensory characteristics of food and food
additives Reviews nanosupplements and how they provide improvements
in nutritional functionality Explains the antibacterial properties
of nanoparticles for food applications This book will serve food
scientists and technologists, food engineers, chemists and
innovators working in food or ingredient research and new product
development. Gustavo Molina is associate professor at the UFVJM
(Diamantina-Brazil) in Food Engineering and head of the Laboratory
