ABSTRACT
Nanotechnology has the potential to revolutionize the food industry by increasing the nutritional value, global food production, quality, and safety of food. Food-related applications of nanotechnology offer a wide range of benefits including reduction in the use of preservatives, salt, fat, and surfactants in food products; and new lightweight but stronger food packaging materials that can keep food products safe during transportation, fresher longer during storage, and safe from microbial pathogens.
