Until now, the taste, flavor, and texture of most kinds of foods depended on the way of cooking it and the heat of the fire used to cook it. In current times, the culinary art is being crafted by scientists in laboratories, by reorganizing atoms and inducing nanoparticles into food thereby enhancing its properties. Sounds surprising but its true? Nanoparticles have the ability detect bacteria, add health benefits, extend food shelf life, or improve flavor of food.
Relationship Between
Nanotechnology and Food
After making an enormous impact on genetic science, medical science, robotics and information technology, nanotechnology has impacted nutrition without involving any genetic manipulation. There are a number of companies who have come out with herbal tonics, supplements and meal accompaniments. These tonics and supplements contain higher concentration of nutrients and offer therapeutic results. For instance, LiveTheSource, a health product manufacturing company has come up with a natural nano-encapsulated product called Dailymulti-vitamin. This product is being manufactured by using an all-natural patented technology which involves creating a particle size that is so small that it can achieve maximum efficiency. This technique of nano-encapsulation is also being used by a number of other companies to envelop food molecules with favorable herbs and nutrients. Dailymulti-vitamin is itself a good example of nano-encapsulation of food. The product contains micronutrients, antioxidants, flavonoids, enzymes, essential B-vitamins, vitamin C, magnesium, zinc, calcium and more. These nutrients are indispensible to growth & development, metabolism and preventing body against different deficiency diseases.
