Nanosensors and nanotracers

Selected applications of nanotechnology in the food industry are discussed below. These include advances in (a) nanosensors and nanotracers, (b) food packaging and edible coatings, and (c) encapsulated food components. There are also other applications and further information is available in a number of reviews (Chaudhry et ah, 2008 Moraru et al., 2003 Sanguansri and Augustin, 2006 Weiss et al., 2006).
