Elsevier Nanotechnology in the Beverage Industry: Fundamentals and Applications (Micro and Nano Technologies)

Product Description Nanotechnology in the Beverage industry: Fundamentals and Applications looks at how nanotechnology is being used to enhance water quality, as well as how the properties of nanomaterials can be used to create different properties in both alcoholic and no-alcoholic drinks and enhance the biosafety of both drinks and their packaging. This is an important reference for materials scientists, engineers, food scientists and microbiologists who want to learn more about how nanotechnology is being used to enhance beverage products. As active packaging technology, nanotechnology can increase shelf-life and maintain the quality of beverages. In the field of water treatment, nanomaterials offer new routes to address challenges. Review A detailed examination on how nanotechnology is being used to create purer, safer and more customized beverages From the Back Cover As active packaging technology, nanotechnology can increase the shelf-life and maintain the quality of beverages. In the field of water treatment, nanomaterials offer new routes to address challenging issues facing water pollution. In addition, by using smart nanocapsules loaded with specific aromas, flavours or dyes, a drink could be programmed or customized to be any colour or flavour.
