Nanotechnology in Food Crop Production and Food Processing Industry

The creation of smart packaging, nanosensors, nano pesticides, and nano fertilisers, in particular, has been made possible by the tremendous advancement of nanotechnology. For enhancing safety and quality of food, agricultural development, and environmental sensing, numerous new nanomaterials have been produced. The most prominent developments in nanotechnology are highlighted in this overview, along with the exciting prospects in the agricultural and food industries, as shown by a few recent studies. Nanoparticles, nanofibres, nanoemulsions, and nanocapsules are just a few of the novel instruments that nanobiotechnology provides to alter and improve crop output. A platform for delivering agrochemicals and other macromolecules needed to improve plant development and stress resistance is provided by nanomaterials. The bioavailability, flavour, texture, and consistency of food are all improved by applications of nanotechnologies by altering the element proportions, probable group formation, and surface charge of food nanomaterials. Use of nanotechnology can boost crop yield by increasing the efficiency of agricultural inputs like fertilisers and insecticides that decrease crop loss. Nanomaterials enable site-specific release of agricultural nutrients for crop protection and growth by acting as transporters.
