Abstract
The allure of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanomaterials lies in their commendable biocompatibility and versatility for multifaceted applications, garnering increased scrutiny, especially within the food industry in recent years. Despite this interest, a comprehensive examination of the synthesis, characteristics, and utility of ZnO nanomaterials in this sector remains unfulfilled. This review endeavors to encapsulate the synthesis and attributes of ZnO nanomaterials in the last 5 years, concentrating on their deployment in the food industry. It further explores the prospective advantages and hazards associated with their application in food-related uses, aspiring to invigorate food innovation while enhancing food quality and safety.
