Nanoparticles in the food chain

Nanotechnology as an enabling technology has a great potential to solve future challenges, such as energy supply, clean water and health care. It is expected that nanomaterials will also increasingly be found in consumer products such as textiles, cosmetics and food. An evolution from a first generation of rather simple passive nanostructures to a fourth generation of highly functionalised molecular systems is likely, as deomonstrated in Figure 1. first and second generation products are alreadu in use today.
