(Elsevier, 2024) Arunadevi Natrajan; Kshitij RB Singh; Sushma Thapa; Ajeet Kumar Kaushik; Jay Singh; Ravindra Pratap Singh
The role of nanobiotechnology in the food industry was found to be an eco-friendly, low-cost, easy synthetic procedure and management method, and helps to reduce the decomposition of food material. Nanoparticles-based food packaging system delivers improved barrier and mechanical characteristics, food preservation, and increased shelf life, thus, attracting both consumers and manufacturers. Hence in this chapter, we presented the role of different nanomaterials in food processing and packaging, its merits, and mitigating the disadvantages of improper handling of these nanocompounds. © 2024 Elsevier Inc.

Nanobiotechnology for Food Processing and Packaging
(Elsevier, 2024) Jay Singh; Ravindra Pratap Singh; Ajeet Kumar Kaushik; Charles Oluwaseun Adetunji; Kshitij RB Sing
Nanobiotechnology for Food Processing and Packaging covers nanomaterials' application as an eco-friendly, greener, cost-effective and easy handling and management approach that can help prevent various high-level physical, biological and chemical contamination in foodstuff. Written by experts from a multidisciplinary perspective, each chapter addresses nanomaterials' application as a sustainable tool for the management of uncountable food processing and packaging challenges. Sections focus on nanobiotechnology in processing and packaging, considering food quality, safety and management aspects. The book also highlights various preparative methods and antimicrobial/antifungal activities, including the mechanism of the antimicrobial action of various bionanocomposites and food toxin detection nanobiosensor nano additives. Other sections cover possible food toxin detection, food packaging, and materials such as nanomaterials, nanocomposites, carbon-based nanomaterials, polymer-based nanocomposites and various binary and tertiary nanocomposites and their mechanistic approach. © 2024 Elsevier Inc.
