This book provides up to date information on the emerging trends and technology in food nanotechnology. It gives high-quality literature focused on the recent developments, research trends, methods and issues related to the safe use of nanoscale materials to add value to food. Most importantly, this book encloses critical reviews on micro and nanoengineering concepts, principles and applications in food. It also provides a scientific basis of micro and nanoengineered structures and compounds, their industrial food applications, encapsulation techniques and methods. This book encompasses detection, analysis and characterization techniques for nanostructures, the fate of encapsulated materials in target food. It also educates on regulatory issues and safety of clinical translation of nanomaterials in fortified foods.
