Nanotechnology is a multidisciplinary technological and scientific field undergoing a rapid development. In this paper, current applications of nanotechnology in food systems include pesticide delivery systems through bioactive nanencapsulations, biosensors to detect and quantify pathogens, organic compounds, other chemicals and food composition alteration, high–performance sensors and edible thin films to preserve fruit and vegetable. The paper conclude that it is necessary to do a thorough risk assessment of nano foods before they are released to the market.
