DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/fsl9jx/nanotechnology_in) has announced the addition of Woodhead Publishing Ltd's new book "Nanotechnology in the food, beverage and nutraceutical industries" to their offering.

Nanotechnology is having a significant impact on food processing. This important book summarises current research on nanotechnologies and the wide range of applications of this technology as well as issues such as safety, regulation and characterisation.

After an introductory overview, the first part of the book discusses general issues such as risk assessment, the regulatory framework, detection and characterisation of nanoparticles in food. Part two summarises the wide range of applications of nanotechnology in food processing, including nanoscale nutraceutical delivery systems, nanoemulsions and colloids, nanoscale rapid detection devices for contaminants, nanofiltration and nanocomposite packaging materials.

Key Topics Covered:

Part 1: Processes, material characterization, risks and regulation

- An overview of the development and applications of nanoscale materials in the food industry

- Potential health risks of nano Particles in foods, beverages and nutraceuticals

- Detecting and characterizing nano Particles in food, beverages and nutraceuticals

- Regulatory frameworks for food nanotechnologies
