By Institute of Medicine, Food and Nutrition Board, Food Forum, Ann Yaktine, Leslie Pray

Within the meals undefined, scientists are exploring the opportunity of nanotechnology to augment the flavour and different sensory features of meals, introduce antibacterial nanostructures into meals packaging and encapsulate and convey nutrition at once into designated tissues, between different functions. in spite of the fact that, as with all new expertise, besides the advantages, there's the opportunity of unanticipated adversarial results. there's nonetheless greatly to benefit approximately any health and wellbeing results concerning introducing nanosized fabrics into meals and meals packaging fabrics. constructing nanotechnology right into a secure, potent device to be used in meals technology and expertise would require addressing those and different questions. Assuring purchaser self assurance can be both very important to the luck of this new rising expertise. The Institute of medication held a one-day workshop, summarized during this quantity, to extra discover using nanotechnology in nutrition. in particular, the workshop was once prepared round 3 fundamental subject parts: (1) the applying of nanotechnology to nutrition items; (2) the protection and efficacy of nanomaterials in nutrients items; and (3) instructing and informing shoppers concerning the functions of nanotechnology to foodstuff items.
