TLDR
In this paper, the potential applications, risks, food safety, and current regulatory situation of nanotechnology in relation to foods are discussed, and a preliminary discussion on the potential applicability, risks and food safety is given.Abstract:
The present study is to give a preliminary discussion on the potential applications, risks, food safety, and current regulatory situation of nanotechnology in relation to foods, thus to provide the industry, legislators, and government with some points, rather than a roadmap, that will need to be addressed as regulation for food nanotechnology moves forward. From the food industry and public safety standpoints, some recent food applications of nanotechnology, safety and risk problems of nanomaterials, routes for nanoparticles entering the body, existing regulations of nanotechnology in several countries, and a certification system of nanoproducts are discussed.read more

Applications of nanomaterials in agricultural production and crop protection: A review
TL;DR: Preliminary studies show the potential of nanomaterials in improving seed germination and growth, plant protection, pathogen detection, and pesticide/herbicide residue detection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Milk proteins as vehicles for bioactives
TL;DR: The review highlights the main achievements reported in the last 3 years: harnessing the casein micelle, a natural nanovehicle of nutrients, for delivering hydrophobic bioactives, and discovering unique nanotubes based on enzymatic hydrolysis of α-la.

Bioavailability of nanoparticles in nutrient and nutraceutical delivery
TL;DR: Experimental data reveal that, in some cases, even nanoparticles in the 100–1000 nm range are capable of producing substantial improvement in the bioavailability of the active ingredients, and this improvement seems to be linked to the direct uptake of the nanoparticle.

Nanotoxicology: An Emerging Discipline Evolving from Studies of Ultrafine Particles
TL;DR: Results of older bio-kinetic studies with NSPs and newer epidemiologic and toxicologic studies with airborne ultrafine particles can be viewed as the basis for the expanding field of nanotoxicology, which can be defined as safety evaluation of engineered nanostructures and nanodevices.

TL;DR: The working group report presents a broad data gathering strategy applicable to this early stage in the development of a risk assessment process for nanomaterials, and there is a strong likelihood that biological activity of nanoparticles will depend on physicochemical parameters not routinely considered in toxicity screening studies.

TL;DR: It is concluded that inhaled 99mTc-labeled ultrafine carbon particles pass rapidly into the systemic circulation, and this process could account for the well-established, but poorly understood, extrapulmonary effects of air pollution.
