Several complex set of engineering and scientific challenges in the food and bioprocessing industries for manufacturing high quality and safe food through efficient and sustainable means can be solved through nanotechnology. Bacteria identification and food quality monitoring using biosensors; intelligent, active, and smart food packaging systems; and nanoencapsulation of bioactive food compounds are few examples of emerging applications of nanotechnology for the food industry. We review the background about the potential of nanotechnology, provide an overview of the current and future applications of nanotechnology relevant to food and bioprocessing industry, and identify the societal implications for successful implementation of nanotechnology.

    • ...The market associated to nanotechnologies on food is expected to raise from $7 billion in 2006 to US $20.4 billion in 2010, with a nearly doubling number of agricultural and food companies actively pursuing nanotechnology research and development (i.e., 400 in 2006 and >1,000 estimated in 2015; Neethirajan and Jayas 2010)...
    • ...The potentiality of new technologies and the constant tendency toward miniaturization is well explained by the fact that as the size of the particles reduces to reach the nanoscale range, there is an immense increase in the surface-to-volume ratio which, consequently, increases reactivity and changes the mechanical, electrical, and optical properties of the particles (Neethirajan and Jayas 2010)...
