Nanotechnology Applications for Food Safety and Quality Monitoring

Nanotechnology Applications for Food Safety & Quality Monitoring brings together nanotechnology science-based research for food safety and quality monitoring as it has been proven to be effective by detecting highly specific pathogenic microbes and adulterants, exp. With the advancement in knowledge about behaviour of nano-engineered materials in food and its toxicity, the applications of nanotechnology is expected to reach unprecedented levels of achieving food safety. Currently there is no practical resource of nanotechnology as a tool specifically for monitoring safety and quality. This is a practical concise applications-based reference essential for food industry researchers and scientists to monitor the safety and quality of food to ensure a safe food supply vital for public health and imperative for achieving global food security. Demonstrates how nanotechnology can improve food safety and quality Shows how nanotechnology sensors can be used for food pesticides, pathogen and microbes Discusses Benefits and Risks of Nanotechnology applications for food safety INDICE: Part 1: Nanotechnology Applications for food safety monitoring1.
