Abstract

Food nanotechnology is a combined discipline of food science and nanotechnology. It provides many applications almost in all areas of food technology. This article reviews the main focus in food nanotechnology research of food safety in various forms in which nano-biosensors and antimicrobials nano-agents are the works of interest. These tools are helpful in providing food security and together with nano-coating materials. It makes the base of smart packaging. It is now being estimated from the review that these nanoagents have great contribution in food safety but the health hazard risks due to accumulation of nanomaterials in food should also move parallel to these tools.
