Sommario/riassunto

This book explores how nanoscience applications in food engineering offer a way to satisfy current food needs that natural products can't fulfill. Nanotechnology enables the development of tailored food ingredients and structures to replace products that are difficult to obtain. The book discusses how specialized nano-preservatives, sensors and food degradation and contamination detectors were developed and can be introduced without degrading food quality or properties.
