Nanoparticles to Sense Food Quality

Chapter

Part of the Sustainable Agriculture Reviews book series (SARV, volume 23)

Abstract

Food contains various nutritionally constituents for animal and human growth. Food material also supports the growth of microorganisms. Microorganisms can cause infection or produce toxins that adversely affect human health. Further, food adulteration and brand protection is also a serious problem. Therefore food processing, storage and transport can lead to risk of food contamination, adulteration and degradation of sensitive food ingredients.

We review here the application of nanomaterials for food quality sensing. Organic and inorganic nanoparticles have application in detection of disease causing microorganism, toxic chemicals, food freshness, product authenticity, brand protection, and artificial smell and taste sensing. Nanosensors can sense pathogenic bacteria in food items with single cell level sensitivity. Nanoparticles are also successfully used for the detection of food-contaminating toxins, namely aflatoxin, palytoxin, Botulinium neurotoxin, ochratoxin, zearalenone and HT-2. Nanoparticles are also used for the detection of toxic contaminants such as dyes, fertilizer and pesticides in food. These applications are further widened to vitamins, essential amino acid and hydrogen peroxide. Nanoparticles functionalized with biological receptors can also sense odorant and tastant with human-like efficiency.
