Abstract
Food products are complex mixtures including proteins, carbohydrates and lipids that are shaped at the nanoscale. These food nanomaterials are either naturally present within foods or created during transformation of initial products. Recent research has revealed several applications of food-based nanomaterials for food processing and packaging. For instance nanoparticles protect and control the delivery of antimicrobial compounds, lipid-soluble vitamins, flavours and antioxidants. Nanoparticles are also used as delivery vehicles such as pickering emulsions, multi-layered emulsions and solid-lipid nanoparticles. Nanosensors can detect rapidly toxic substances in food. In food packaging, nanoparticles can protect functional ingredients such as antimicrobials or vitamins. Chitosan nanoparticles are used as antimicrobial compounds to enhance food safety.
