Nanotechnology can be applied in food products through various means, including:
Nanoencapsulation: This technique encapsulates nutrients, flavors, or preservatives in nanoscale carriers, improving their stability and controlled release. Nanosensors: These are used for detecting pathogens, contaminants, or spoilage, ensuring food safety and quality. Nanocoatings: Applied to food packaging, these coatings can enhance barrier properties, extend shelf life, and reduce waste. Nanostructured Ingredients: These ingredients can improve the texture, taste, and nutritional profile of food products.
