description |
The recent surge in the advancement of nanotechnology related techniques has opened new vistas in the applications of nanoparticles in food and agricultural industry. In food industry, nanoparticles has the potential to be used in food packaging, preservations, retain the flavor, fragrance release, enhance the appearance, smart delivery, separations and purifications. There are several food items containing nanoparticles already in the market. According to one market survey, the value of global food encapsulation market is expected to grow at a rate of 6.1% per year reaching a value of $39.5 billion by the year 2020.
Application of nanoparticles in agriculture as pesticides has great potential to increase the agricultural productivity and concomitant increase in the food security. Compared to the rapid developments in the application of nanoparticles in food and agricultural industry, a clear understanding of the associated safety and regulatory issues is lagging behind. There has been significant progress made by organizations such as FAO, WHO in formulating safety standards and standardization methods. However, still there is a wide gap in the awareness among the food scientists in dealing with these issues, and reluctance of the relevant agencies in implementing these safety regulations. As a result there are several uncertainties and confusion among food technologists in one hand and the consumers on the other hand. This may result in the costly delay in the proper applications of nanoparticles in food industry. Hence concerted efforts need to be undertaken in removing the gaps in the safety related knowledge in this field and to implement the safety regulations specific to use of nanoparticles in food industry.
