Nanotechnology really does impact a wide range of industries. You may be under the impression that it is limited to electronics, but it actually spans across many different disciplines. The food industry is another sector that is very interested in how nanotechnology can improve current production methods. Traditional fabrication methods, along with new techniques in self-assembly, are being applied to food processing. Food scientists and engineers are working to improve nutritional content and delivery, packaging, and the ability to track and monitor products over time.
NACK Center staff will give an overview of how nanotechnology is impacting the food industry by providing some examples of recent advancements in this area. Current research will also be discussed to bring some insight into where the future of food processing may be heading. You may be surprised to learn that the food industry is already taking advantage of these modifications based at the nano-scale.
