Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the third volume on Nanoscience in Food and Agriculture, published in the Sustainable Agriculture Reviews series. In this book we present ten chapters describing the synthesis and application of nanomaterials for health, food, agriculture and bioremediation.Nanomaterials with unique properties are now being used to improve food and agricultural production. Research on nanomaterials is indeed revealing new applications that were once thought to be imaginary. Specifically, applications lead to higher crop productivity with nanofertilisers, better packaging, longer food shelf life and better sensing of aromas and contaminants. These applications are needed in particular in poor countries where food is scarce and the water quality bad. Nanotechnology also addresses the age old issue of water polluted by industrial, urban and agricultural pollutants. For instance, research produces nanomaterials that clean water more efficiently than classical methods, thus yielding water for drinking and irrigation. However, some nano materials have been found to be toxic. Therefore, nanomaterials should be engineered to be safe for the environment.

Targeted delivery systems using nanoencapsulation are found to increase the bioavailability of bioactive compounds. Metal oxide nanoparticles are used to increase the shelf life of food as they have antimicrobial properties. Nanosensors are being used extensively for detection of pathogens and other contaminants. Nanotechnology is also employed to replace non-biodegradable plastic packaging materials with environment friendly solutions. This book traces the progress of this field and highlights some of its key concepts and applications. From theories to research to practical applications, case studies related to all contemporary topics of relevance to food science and food microbiology have been included in it.
