Nanotechnology

Ram Prasad's volume surveys how nanotechnology is being applied across food production, the wider innovation landscape and environmental concerns. The discussion focuses on the sector's effects on food and the environment over recent years. Among the areas covered are improvements to the nutritional and functional qualities of many foods, the use of nanotechnology in food packaging and food quality control, and its role in crop protection and plant nutrient management. The book also looks at how food diagnostics, introduced through nanotechnology, have supported the food industry.
