Abstract
There are many areas for potential applications of nanomaterials in food industry, such as food processing, food packaging and nutrient supplementation. Food nanotechnology is still a growing area, which still needs clarification, definition and standardization from larger nanotechnology spectrum. Due to the lack of knowledge on nanomaterials and their usage inside complex matrix of food, health risk and toxicity of nanomaterials is becoming main parameters, which need to be defined, identified, and controlled for every single and novel application. Unfortunately, food matrix is complex and application of nanomaterials in the food matrix is also novel and unique for every specific application that is why every single specific application need to have its own investigation, classification, determination and toxicological studies. This chapter summarizes the application of nanomaterials in food industry and potential toxicological effect of nanomaterials especially regarding food industrial applications.
