Abstract
Green synthesis techniques have recently achieved significant attention due to their eco-friendliness and feasibility. The research on the production of nanoparticles from starch is gaining momentum since starch is non-toxic, renewable, and affordable. Reviews on the green synthesis of nano starch and its applications within the food industry are notably rare. This review illuminates the green synthesis of nano starch, highlighting its significant role in the food industry as a reinforcement agent for food packaging, a rheological modifier, an emulsion stabilizer, a nano-delivery system for food and nutraceutical bioactive constituents, a fat replacer, an antimicrobial stabilizer, and prebiotics. Green techniques for nano starch synthesis, such as enzyme hydrolysis, electrospinning, electrospraying, nanoprecipitation, self-assembly, cold plasma treatment, ball milling, ultrasonication, and high-pressure homogenization, have been delineated in this review. Nano starch, which is made using environmentally friendly methods, has special qualities like being biodegradable, biocompatible and having better barrier properties. These make it a great choice for use in the food industry. The health and safety aspects of administering green synthesized nano starch have been discussed. This review offers an overview of the green synthesis of nano starch and its utilization in the food industry that paves the way to the sustainable development of food industries.
期刊介绍：
The objective of the Journal of Nanoparticle Research is to disseminate knowledge of the physical, chemical and biological phenomena and processes in structures that have at least one lengthscale ranging from molecular to approximately 100 nm (or submicron in some situations), and exhibit improved and novel properties that are a direct result of their small size.
Nanoparticle research is a key component of nanoscience, nanoengineering and nanotechnology.
The focus of the Journal is on the specific concepts, properties, phenomena, and processes related to particles, tubes, layers, macromolecules, clusters and other finite structures of the nanoscale size range. Synthesis, assembly, transport, reactivity, and stability of such structures are considered. Development of in-situ and ex-situ instrumentation for characterization of nanoparticles and their interfaces should be based on new principles for probing properties and phenomena not well understood at the nanometer scale. Modeling and simulation may include atom-based quantum mechanics; molecular dynamics; single-particle, multi-body and continuum based models; fractals; other methods suitable for modeling particle synthesis, assembling and interaction processes. Realization and application of systems, structures and devices with novel functions obtained via precursor nanoparticles is emphasized. Approaches may include gas-, liquid-, solid-, and vacuum-based processes, size reduction, chemical- and bio-self assembly. Contributions include utilization of nanoparticle systems for enhancing a phenomenon or process and particle assembling into hierarchical structures, as well as formulation and the administration of drugs. Synergistic approaches originating from different disciplines and technologies, and interaction between the research providers and users in this field, are encouraged.
