Nanotechnologies in the Food Industry – Recent Developments, Risks and Regulation

Publication year: 2011 Source: Trends in Food Science & Technology, Available online 20 October 2011 M. Cushen, J. Kerry, M. Morris, M. Cruz-Romero, E. Cummins Recent research has highlighted the potential for nanotechnologies’ use in wide ranging food applications, including improving supplements, novel food packaging, increasing the range of food textures, colours and tastes, increasing the efficiency of liquid filters, cooking oil catalysation and targeted crop pesticides. Because of these new developments it is likely that radical changes in the way food is perceived, stored, packaged, transported, monitored, consumed and processed will come about.
