Nanodelivery of Nutrients for Improved Bioavailability

The past decade has proven the abiliyt of nanotechnology in almost all known fields. Development in the field of science and technology is nanotechnology. The multidisciplinary facets of this apearing field provide major cause to researchers in food and pharmaceutical disciplines, for advanced research that contributes to major health and industrial importance. Food nanotechnology encompasses applications related to the development of new functional materials (for protection and delivery of food bioactive compounds) and packaging applications (for improved food safety and biosecurity).Nanotechnology has focused on fresh foods, ensuring a healthier food by employing nano-delivery systems in the process. The delivery systems are the ones, which carries the food supplements. Food scientists are actively researching on nanodelivery of nutrients for enhancing its bioavailability and bioactivity.
