摘要:Nanotechnology is one of the newest technologies that found its application in various fi elds, including food and beverage industry. It has an important impact on many aspects of food science, from the field of production to the fi eld of packaging. Although, nanotechnology offers many advantages for industry and consumers; the possible risks of its application should be taken into account. Available literature suggests that many uncertainties remain about nanomaterials, including the potential for bioaccumulation and potential human health risks. While proposed applications of nanotechnologies are wide and varied, developments are met with some caution, while progress may be stifled by lack of projects financial support and potential risks. This paper presents various possibilities of nanotechnology application in the food industry, the legislative framework and the opinion of consumers regarding the use of nanotechnology in food.
