Among the most novel and ever-growing approaches to improving the food industry is nanobiotechnology. In this book, the prospective role of nanobiotechnology in food which includes quality control and safety through nanosensors and biosensors, targeted delivery of nutrients, controlled release of nutrients, proteins, antioxidants, and flavors through encapsulation and enzymatic reactions for food fortification of fat-soluble compounds is discussed. Along the chapters of this book, nanobiotechnological techniques are addressed in detail with specific emphasis on food science applications.
