Abstract

ABSTRACT Food safety and food security are subjects of great concern around the world. Ensuring a sustainable supply of nutrient-dense and safe food is a grand challenge. Nanotechnology will bring great opportunities to improve food safety and enhance agricultural productivity in a sustainable way. This study presents a critical concise overview of the basic principles and applications of diverse nanotechnologies in solving food safety and security issues. Following an overview of recent work relevant to food safety issues, several key applications of nanotechnology in food packaging and contaminant detection are outlined. The important role of nanotechnology in addressing agricultural production, water resource management (such as nanofiltration and nanosterilization), harmful substance adsorption, and nutrient delivery is discussed. Finally, opportunities for further research and development in nanotechnology for food safety and security are identified. It is noteworthy that large scale industrial applications of nanotechnology are not commonplace yet as major issues of cost and potential adverse effects on human health continue to remain impediments to be overcome.

纳米技术用于食品安全:综合综述

食品安全和食品安全是世界各国普遍关注的问题。确保可持续供应营养丰富的安全食品是一项重大挑战。纳米技术将为以可持续的方式改善食品安全和提高农业生产力带来巨大的机会。本研究简要介绍了各种纳米技术在解决食品安全和保障问题中的基本原理和应用。以下概述了最近与食品安全问题相关的工作，概述了纳米技术在食品包装和污染物检测中的几个关键应用。讨论了纳米技术在农业生产、水资源管理(如纳米过滤和纳米杀菌)、有害物质吸附和营养物质输送等方面的重要作用。最后，确定了进一步研究和开发用于食品安全和保障的纳米技术的机会。值得注意的是，纳米技术的大规模工业应用尚不普遍，因为成本和对人类健康的潜在不利影响等重大问题仍然是有待克服的障碍。
