Applications of nanotechnology in the detection of foodborne pathogens.
Nanotechnology offers tremendous potential in enhancing food safety. By utilizing nanomaterials and nanosensors, it enables rapid and sensitive detection of foodborne pathogens, ensuring early intervention and prevention of outbreaks. Nanotechnology can also improve food packaging by incorporating antimicrobial nanoparticles that inhibit the growth of bacteria and extend the shelf life of perishable products. Furthermore, nanostructured materials can enhance the efficiency of water filtration systems, removing contaminants and ensuring safer drinking water.
