Nanotechnological Approaches in Food Microbiology
关于此电子书
Nanotechnological Approaches in Food Microbiology provides a systematic introduction and comprehensive information about practical approaches and characteristic features related to the significant applications of nanotechnology in food microbiology, including, nano-starch films, nanoemulsions, biogenic nanoparticles, and nanocapsules. The book will explore details about metal nanoparticle synthesis, characterization, mathematical modeling, kinetic studies, and their antimicrobial approaches.
Key Features:
- Includes comprehensive knowledge on metal nanoparticle synthesis, characterization, mathematical modeling, kinetic studies and their antimicrobial approaches
- Lays out concepts of essential oil nanoemulsion and their potential antimicrobial applications
- Deals with the latest development in nano-starch composite biofilms containing bioactive constituents to inhibit pathogenic microbes
- Explores the nanocapsules as potential antimicrobial agents in food.
- Provides information regarding new biogenic nano-antimicrobials developed for the food safety and quality assurance
This book will educate readers on the aspects of nanotechnology in food safety and quality assurance. Nanoemulsions, nanohydrogels, metal nanoparticles, nano-starch films, nanocapsules and nano-antimicrobials are the emerging essentials of nanotechnology that are used to preserve the food at greater extent. This book should be of interest to a large and varied audience of researchers in academia, industry, food processing, preservation, packaging, microbiology and policy regulations.
