摘要：Nanotechnology is a field of applied sciences and technologies involving the control of matter on the atomic and molecular scale, below 100 nanometers. Nanotechnology has the potential to impact many aspects of food systems. Food security, packaging systems, new materials for pathogen detection are examples of the important links of nanotechnology to the food science and engineering. In this review, it is focused on the main areas of nanotechnology use in the food industry and also new process applications and toxicological investigations are discussed. Nanotechnolgy which offers lots of benefits range from improved food quality and safety to reduced agricultural inputs and improved processing and nutrition may have risks for human use and consumption and the environment. It needs more national and international studies that the technology is safe and regulated to ensure maximum food safety and personal health protection.
