Nanomaterials bioaccumulate

The controlled release of these nanoparticles is important for long-term storage of foods or for imparting spedfic desirable characteristics, such as flavour, to a food system (Lagaron, 2011 Sorrentino et al 2007). However, the available literature suggests that many uncertainties remain about nanomaterials, including their potential for bioaccumulation and human health risks. More studies are therefore required to ensure that nanomaterials are not a concern to human health.
