Application of Nanotechnology as a Tool in Animal Products Processing and Marketing: An Overview

摘要

In the faster pace of life and more consciousness of consumers about food safety and security, nanotechnology may be the important tool to augment the livestock products to fulfil the future demand. By the exploitation of the use of nanoparticles we can produce meat, milk and poultry products in much faster pace with high safety. Nanotechnology may serve the purpose of vegetarians who are willing to eat high proteinous food without killing the animals in form of in-vitro meat, cultured meat or laboratory grown meat. The nutritional quality along with quantity to fulfil the stomach of hungry peoples in the coming year?s nanotechnology may be the modern weapon. The transportability of livestock products with freshness is a great concern which may be meet out by the use of nanoparticles in form of flexible pouches, laminates and eatable coatings. Besides, this technology is having enormous scope in the livestock based industry.
