Bio-nanotechnology is the key functional technology of the 21st
century. It is a fusion of biology and nanotechnology based on the
principles and chemical pathways of living organisms, and refers to
the functional applications of biomolecules in nanotechnology. It
encompasses the study, creation, and illumination of the
connections between structural molecular biology, nutrition and
nanotechnology, since the development of techniques of
nanotechnology might be guided by studying the structure and
function of the natural nano-molecules found in living cells.
Biology offers a window into the most sophisticated collection of
functional nanostructures that exists.
This book is a comprehensive review of the state of the art in
bio-nanotechnology with an emphasis on the diverse applications in
food and nutrition sciences, biomedicine, agriculture and other
fields. It describes in detail the currently available methods and
contains numerous references to the primary literature, making this
the perfect ‘field guide’ for scientists who want to
explore the fascinating world of bio-nanotechnology. Safety issues
regarding these new technologies are examined in detail.
The book is divided into nine sections – an introductory
section, plus:
* Nanotechnology in nutrition and medicine
* Nanotechnology, health and food technology applications
* Nanotechnology and other versatile applications
* Nanomaterial manufacturing
* Applications of microscopy and magnetic resonance in
nanotechnology
* Applications in enhancing bioavailability and controlling
pathogens
* Safety, toxicology and regulatory aspects
* Future directions of bio-nanotechnology
The book will be of interest to a diverse range of readers in
industry, research and academia, including biologists, biochemists,
food scientists, nutritionists and health professionals.
