Nanotechnology and Shelf-Life of Animal Foods

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Nanotechnology

Abstract

Nanotechnology is an emerging technology that is coming from interest in tiny molecules. It is a matter to understand, manipulate, and control tiny molecules. Nanotechnology can be used in the food sector to enhance sensorial, nutritional characteristic of foodstuffs, and to develop health supplements and new food packaging materials. Additionally, animal foods are highly nutritious and important sources for human health. This is where nanotechnology and animal food topics relate to each other. Animal foods are required to provide and maintain safety, quality, sensing, and nutritional parameters for consumers. Thus, nanotechnology can be used to optimize and provide these requirements and needs.
