Micro and Nanotechnologies for Food - a healthy and safe option? [1] - NanoWerk, USA
Did you know that:

• The nanofood market reached 5.3 bn. US dollars in 2005 and is expected to reach 20.4 bn. US dollars in 2015?
• Milk is a nanoscale colloid and that nanotechnology could change the flow properties of ketchup?
• Some nanomaterials have received the NSF registration required for use in food/beverage manufacturing facilities, denoting that they are safe for incidental contact with food?

However...

• Can food be made better tasting, healthier and longer lasting from the application of nanotechnology?
• What are the benefits and risks involved with nanotechnology and food?
• How can industry demonstrate show that nano applications are safe?
