Nanotechnology Applications for Food Safety and Quality Monitoring [EPUB ebook] 

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
