Abstract
Green nanotechnology has emerged as a sustainable fabrication technology that has offered tremendous frontiers in the field of food science. This review intends to provide a succinct overview of various green nanofabrication technologies including green creation of nanoparticles using biological sources explicitly from plants as natural reducing agents. In addition, the review explores various biocompatible nano delivery systems for nanoencapsulation of food ingredients for enhancing the sensorial and functional properties food products. Promising applications based on these approaches employing active and smart packaging systems, nanosensors along with functional foods for ensuring food quality and safety have been briefly outlined.
