Description
The levels of toxic and microbial contamination in food and the environment are influenced by harvesting and slaughtering technologies as well as the processes applied during the manufacture of food. The emerging field of advanced materials based on functional architectures offers potential solutions to some key performance challenges, along with improved sensitivity, longevity, stability, miniaturization, and ruggedness, while reducing complexity and production cost.
Since the consumption of food and water is an essential part of the live detection of contaminating organisms Advanced Materials for Agriculture, Food, and Environmental Safety is especially focused on monitoring the presence of various toxic molecules within water, food, and beverages. Nanotechnologies have expanded from semiconductors, photonics, and healthcare processes to include environmental technology to reduce pollution. This raises the possibility of using nanotechnology for environmental applications through nanomaterials, processes, and tools.
Part I of this book contains six chapters examining the fundamental aspects of materials and methods. The ten chapters that comprise Part II look at applications using inventive nanotechnology, such as:
• Nanoparticles for trace analysis of toxins
• Application of nanoparticles as antipathogens
• Nanomaterials used as a key technology for green chemistry
• Biological systems used for green synthesis of nanoparticles
• Magnetic nanoparticles for detection and separation applications
• Biopolymer-based nanocomposites in food packing
• Zero-valent iron nanoparticles for environmental clean-up
