Abstract
In order to ensure a consistent supply of nutrient-rich nutritious food, food safety and security are gaining a lot of attention on a global scale. Numerous technical activities, such as the creation of novel materials and the improvement of food safety and security, need nanotechnology. Nanomaterials are utilized to enhance food protection and aid in the detection of pesticides, toxic chemicals, and microbiological contamination. Nanomaterials are utilized to enhance the detection of pesticides, toxic chemicals, and microbiological contamination. Nanocapsulation, which enables the release of bioactive substances, raises food bioavailability, and lengthens food shelf life, improves food processing even further. The main purpose of food processing is to fortify food by adding nutrients and beneficial ingredients. This chapter covers a variety of subjects, including the use of nanotechnology in food packaging, food safety, food preservation using smart nanocarriers, the detection of allergens and food-borne viruses using nanosensors, and crop growth and yield enhancement.
