Abstract:

The food sector is always keen the search for novel and precise approaches to observe the food safety and quality control of the end products. Existing exposure methods for the analysis are expensive and time taking, also required skilled personnel to operate the specific apparatus. Nanotechnology is an emerging field with various applications in the industrial area containing the food subdivision. The practice of nano-matters in sensual arrangements not only eradicates drawbacks but has also merits like advanced compassion and choosiness. The material used due to sensory properties includes metal & magnetic nanoparticles, carbon nano-arrangements (nanotubes, graphene, and its imitative, and nano-threads), nano-cable, and electrospun nanofibers. Such materials are used for the exposure of spoilage (due to pathogens, toxins, gases, and alteration in pH) and adulteration (because of additives, urea, glucose, and melamine). Currently, these sensors can be employed in smart packaging for food items to satisfy the customer's demands. Extensive functions of nanotechnologies in the packaging of food products have been suggested to express antimicrobial obstacle characteristics that avoid food decomposition, increasing mechanical attributes like apoplectic, emulsification, and water building competence, augmenting substantial interactions of biopolymers that are employed as food packaging matter that can increase thermal steadiness and crystallinity.
