Nanotechnology Applications for Food Safety and Quality Monitoring brings together nanotechnology science-based research for food safety and quality monitoring. With the advancement in knowledge about behavior of nano-engineered materials in food and its toxicity, the application of nanotechnology is expected to reach unprecedented levels in 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 that is essential for food industry researchers and scientists to monitor the safety and quality of food to ensure quality food supplies.
- Demonstrates how nanotechnology can improve food safety and quality
- Shows how nanotechnology sensors can be used for food pesticides, pathogens and microbes
- Discusses the benefits and risks of nanotechnology applications for food safety
