ABSTRACT

Nanotechnology is the ability to manipulate materials at the nanoscale, which is approximately 1300nm in size. At this scale, particles have a significantly large surface area and display unique characteristics, including electronic, optical, and catalytic properties. As a valuable tool, nanotechnology has been employed in the food industry to enhance production processes and improve food quality. It is estimated that by 2023, approximately 1400 food and agricultural companies will actively engage in research related to nanotechnology. The impact of nanotechnology on the food industry is far-reaching and encompasses various aspects such as food processing, product formulations, food safety and biosecurity. One notable advancement is in the development of intelligent, active, and smart food packaging systems. With nanotechnology, food packaging can now possess sophisticated features that help monitor freshness levels, control microbial growth, and provide other benefits that extend shelf life. This revolutionizes conventional packaging methods by promoting optimal preservation of products while maintaining high standards of safety for consumers. In conclusion, nanotechnology continues to transform the way we produce and consume food through its innovative applications in the industry. Its potential for improving efficiency and enhancing food quality makes it an essential component for future advancements in the field of agriculture and nutrition.
