Nanomaterials are materials that possess at least one dimension in the nanoscale range, typically between 1 and 100 nanometers. At this extremely small scale, materials exhibit unique physical, chemical, and biological properties that differ significantly from their bulk counterparts. These altered properties arise due to the increased surface area to volume ratio, quantum effects, and enhanced reactivity. Nanomaterials may occur naturally, be incidentally produced, or be deliberately engineered for specific applications. In food technology, engineered nanomaterials are commonly used and include nanoparticles, nanofibers, nanocomposites, nanoemulsions, and nanosensors. Depending on their composition, they can be metallic (such as silver, gold, titanium dioxide, and zinc oxide), polymeric, lipid-based, or inorganic. Their small size enables improved solubility, stability, bioavailability, and targeted functionality, making them highly attractive for food processing, packaging, preservation, and quality monitoring. In emerging food technology, nanomaterials are applied in various areas including nanoencapsulation of nutrients, development of smart and active packaging, antimicrobial coatings, improved texture and flavor delivery, and nanosensors for detection of contaminants and pathogens. Nanoencapsulation allows vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and bioactive compounds to be protected from degradation and released in a controlled manner, enhancing nutritional value. Nanocomposites are incorporated into packaging materials to improve barrier properties against oxygen, moisture, and light, thereby extending shelf life. Silver nanoparticles and zinc oxide nanoparticles are used for their antimicrobial properties in food contact surfaces and packaging. Nanosensors are developed to detect spoilage indicators, toxins, and microbial contamination in real time. While these applications offer significant technological advantages, they also raise important food safety issues and concerns. One major concern is the potential toxicity of nanomaterials when ingested. Due to their extremely small size, nanoparticles can cross biological barriers such as the intestinal
