Nanotechnology is a new idea for the food industry. Nanotechnology is the science, engineering, and technology conducted at the nanoscale which is 1 to 100 nanometer so very small. The knowledge of this revolutionary technology is so low it's sad. Many believe that Nanotechnology should be avoided till we fully understand it, but we should be using it to help us to know it's effects and uses. The biggest issue of Nanotechnology is its entry into the human body. With the size of this technology it's very easy to enter the body. You could have these enter through digestion, inhalation, or even skin absorption. Scientist believe these nano devices and particles may enter …show more content…

Nanotechnology could boost crop yields. This is a goal more for undeveloped countries, but will still do the developed and growing countries good. Not only can they help with yield but also could help in the efforts of increasing pesticides and fertilizer effectiveness. There is also the use in animal husbandry. One major benefits would be the benefits of food with Nanotechnology by genetic manipulation creating a better nutrition delivery. Nanotechnology will be the driving force of food industries in sustainability and protection. New technologies like nanoformulations for fertilizers and pesticides have been developed to increase effectiveness. Nanosensor that help to detect diseases and residue identification on crop for protection. Also nanotech to genetically modify food to help with nutrients and health factors. Not only those technologies but there is also attempts to help with post harvest management, animal health, breeding, and poultry production. The nanotech industry seems to have the ability to cover all of food …show more content…

Many foods today have caused digestive corrosion. These foods cause issues from oral cavities to the colon and in many different environments. Many factors affect the absorption of nutrients. Extracting nutrients is super important. Rapid technology growth in nanotech has created new techniques for this problem. Nanostructures enhance food quality detection. They do this through electron microscopy and force microscopy to reveal nature of the food structure to tell off it is a quality food product and its nutrient content. Not only has nanotech reached quality, but has also made a way to detect spoilage sooner. These devices called Nanosensor have created a way to be a “nose” and “tongue” of sorts in packing of food to detect chemicals released in the spoilage of food. Nanotechnology will help to change food
