Only a handful of the many diverse issues covered by nanotechnology include nanoscale gadgets, nanomaterials, nanoparticles, and nanomedicines. Its performance in treating a range of grave conditions, such as cancer, early detection of infections, analysis, bio-imaging, and bio sensing, suggests that it is highly advanced. Nanoscale materials have been employed for medicine delivery, pharmaceutics, and a range of diagnostic techniques due to their various biochemical and physical features. The use of nanoparticles that are based on nanotechnology can significantly improve the drug delivery mechanism. It is believed that nanoparticles capacity to improve the stability and solubility of drugs and shield them from impulsive inactivation during drug transfer makes it possible for them to capture, encapsulate, or bond with the molecules. The use of nanomedicine or nanoparticle-based tactics to combat viruses has emerged as a potentially life-saving tactic. These approaches have the power to protect both humans and animals against viruses. In order to inactivate a virus, nanoparticles have the unique capacity to connect with the virus epitope. Many nanocarriers have the potential to replace current drug delivery methods with focused drug delivery. Small dosages, low toxicity, and targeted flow of drug release at the infected location are all characteristics of nanocarriers or nanomedicine. Due to their distinct physicochemical and biological features, nanomaterial-based drug delivery systems (NBDDS) are frequently employed to enhance the safety and therapeutic efficacy of encapsulated pharmaceuticals.

Nanotechnology has progressed by making a significant contribution to the food industry at the nanoscale level and appeared as a promising avenue for these challenges.

Since most harvested fruits and vegetables have a perishable nature, they cannot be preserved in natural circumstances for a long period.
