Currently, nanotechnology serves as the most promising means to resolve the issues encountered in the food sector, as it enables the production of high-quality food with exceptional characteristics such as extended shelf life, flavor, freshness, and high nutritional content. This book focuses on the applications of nanotechnology in various fields such as smart packaging, processing, and preservation of food. It also emphasizes the role of nanomaterials in strategic design of nutraceuticals and functional foods. Along with providing an overview of the innovations and application, this book also describes future perspectives, and offers insights to ensure consumer confidence in terms of safe use. In this context the application of nanomaterials as nanosensors is additional covered. The book provides readers with a deep knowledge regarding nanomaterials-based biosensors (colorimetric,electrochemical, fiber-based) for detection of pathogens in contaminated food. Factors affecting risk assessment regulations and safety concerns regarding the use of nanomaterials in food industry have also been discussed in detail. Given its scope, this book appeals to a wider readership, especially for researchers and students who work in food agronomy and nanomaterials and nanotechnology related fields.NanotechnologyFood scienceAgronomyNanochemistryNanobiotechnologyAgricultureFoodAnalysisChemistryFood NanotechnologyAgronomyNanochemistryNanobiotechnologyAgricultureFood ChemistryNanotechnology.Food science.Agronomy.Nanochemistry.Nanobiotechnology.Agriculture.FoodAnalysis.Chemistry.Food Nanotechnology.Agronomy.Nanochemistry.Nanobiotechnology.Agriculture.Food Chemistry.620.5664Singh Ragini1425178Kumar SantoshMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910742487503321Nanotechnology advancement in agro-food industry3572271UNINA04468nam 22007935 450 991072008770332120251113173649.03-031-05946-810.1007/978-3-031-05946-9(CKB)5720000000183786(MiAaPQ)EBC7248774(Au-PeEL)EBL7248774(BIP)083841042(PPN)270617280(MiAaPQ)EBC7246881(DE-He213)978-3-031-05946-9(EXLCZ)99572000000018378620230508d2023 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierDiffusive Spreading in Nature, Technology and Society /edited by Armin Bunde, Jürgen Caro, Christian Chmelik, Jörg Kärger, Gero Vogl2nd ed. 2023.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2023.1 online resource (518 pages)3-031-05945-X What the Book Is Dealing With -- Spreading Fundamentals -- Dispersal in Plants and Animals -- Search for Food of Birds, Fish and Insects -- Epicuticular Wax Formation and Regeneration—A Remarkable Diffusion Phenomenon for Maintaining Surface Integrity and Functionality in Plant Surfaces -- Brain Interstitial Structure Revealed Through Diffusive Spread of Molecules -- Turbulent Diffusion in the Atmosphere -- Hot Brownian Motion -- On Phase Transitions in Biased Diffusion of Interacting Particles.What do the movements of molecules and the migration of humans have in common? How does the functionality of our brain tissue resemble the flow of traffic in New York City? How can understanding the spread of ideas, rumors, and languages help us tackle the spread a pandemic? This book provides an illuminating look into these seemingly disparate topics by exploring and expertly communicating the fundamental laws that govern the spreading and diffusion of objects. A collection of leading scientists in disciplines as diverse as epidemiology, linguistics, mathematics, and physics discuss various spreading phenomena relevant to their own fields, revealing astonishing similarities and correlations between the objects of study—be they people, particles, or pandemics. This updated and expanded second edition of an award-winning book introduces timely coverage of a subject with the greatest societal impact in recent memory—the global fight against COVID-19. Winner of the 2019Literature Prize of the German Chemical Industry Fund, this book targets an interdisciplinary readership, featuring an introductory chapter that sets the stage for the topics discussed throughout. Each chapter provides ample opportunity to whet the appetite of those readers seeking a more in-depth treatment, making the book also useful as supplementary reading in appropriate courses dealing with complex systems, mass transfer, and network theory.
