There is still a great deal to learn about any health outcomes related to introducing nanosized materials into foods and food packaging materials. Developing nanotechnology into a safe, effective tool for use in food science and technology will require addressing these and other questions. Assuring consumer confidence will be equally important to the success of this new emerging technology. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Institute of Medicine held a one-day workshop, summarized in this volume, to further explore the use of nanotechnology in food. Specifically, the workshop was organized around three primary topic areas: (1) the application of nanotechnology to food products; (2) the safety and efficacy of nanomaterials in food products; and (3) educating and informing consumers about the applications of nanotechnology to food products.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Institute of Medicine,Food and Nutrition Board,Food Forum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0309137721\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780309137720\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e National Academies Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/21\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 146\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.40d","brand":"Institute of Medicine","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48064837910783,"sku":"9780309137720","price":35.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c30fe9da-eeda-4bad-856d-bd95d3573237.jpg?v=1768671367","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nanotechnology-in-food-products-institute-of-medicine-9780309137720","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
