Nanomaterials for Food Science and Technology

Dear Colleagues,

We kindly invite you to submit your contribution to the Special Issue entitled “Nanomaterials for Food Science and Technology”. This Special Issue is aimed at presenting the current state-of-the-art in the use of nanomaterials in the whole food chain, including food conception, processing and packaging. This Issue will include several topics concerning nanomaterials added to food products or intended to be in contact with food to improve food production, nutrition, quality, preservation and safety. Topics concerning the potential toxicity of nanomaterials upon contact to food matrices as well as the bioaccessibility and bioavailability of nanomaterials when incorporated in or released from food products during gastrointestinal digestion are also very welcome.

The main goal of this Special Issue is to showcase ground-breaking applications on the applicability of nanomaterials in the food industry (food and beverages products) and food packaging (packaging intended to be in contact with food) and their possible implications for consumer safety and health. Up-to-date original research and reviews on these topics are welcome, and we look forward to receiving your interesting work.
