Abstract

The application of nanotechnology is one of the emerging and immensely vital areas in the food science research and development. Recent innovations in the global food and beverage industries related to nanotechnology are in bloom and being successfully applied on a commercial scale in the food processing and food packaging sectors. The microbial nanotechnology can be applied to increase food safety and quality including nanopackaging material to improve product storage stability. Nanomaterial with antimicrobial properties can be used to overcome food spoilage due to food-borne pathogens such as Salmonella, Escherichia coli, and Listeria monocytogenes. This chapter focuses on the future trends in nanotechnology through microbial applications so as to enhance food safety and quality. It also throws light on latent use of nanoparticles for their use in the food industry to provide decontamination food to the consumers with respect to suitability and functional properties.
