Nanotechnology in the Beverage Industry: Fundamentals and Applications

As active packaging technology, nanotechnology can increase the shelf-life and maintain the quality of beverages. In the field of water treatment, nanomaterials offer new routes to address challenging issues facing water pollution. In addition, by using smart nanocapsules loaded with specific aromas, flavours or dyes, a drink could be programmed or customized to be any colour or flavour. Nanotechnology in the Beverage industry looks at how nanotechnology is being used to enhance water quality, as well as how the properties of nanomaterials can be used to create different properties in both alcoholic and no-alcoholic drinks, and enhance the biosafety of both drinks and their packaging. This is an important reference for materials scientists, engineers, food scientist and microbiologists looking to learn more about how nanotechnology is being used to enhance beverage products Describes the major properties that make nanomaterials good agents for increasing the purification of water and other beveragesOutlines major nanoencapsulation techniques for use in a variety of beverage typesDiscusses the major challenges of using nanomaterials in both beverages and beverage packaging INDICE: PART 1: NANOMATERIALS IN WATER TREATMENT 1.
