NANO & TECHNOLOGY
A nanometer is…
– one billionth of a meter
Properties of Nano-particles :
Dramatic change in properties of a substance when particle
size reduced to nanometer range

APPLICATON OF NANOTECHNOLOGY IN FOOD
PROCESSING
During food processing, nanoparticles have been applied to improve nutritional
quality, flow properties, flavor, color and stability or to increase shelf life.
Recently, bulk amounts of SiO2 and TiO2 oxides have been permitted as food
additives (E551 and E171,respectively) (EFSA, 2000).
Chip based sensing is another new area for rapid detection of biological
pathogens with tremendous potential in early warning regarding exposure to air
and pathogens.
The future that we were watching just in science fiction movies will in
the near future be real.
This new technology will first of all, keep us healthy because of Nano
robots that will repair every damage that we have in our body.
Nanotechnology covers a lot of domains today and will cover a lot more
in the near future, it is infinitely big and will make a lot of inventions
come true like teleportation for example which scientists are working on
today.
