Nanotechnology is an exciting and rapidly emerging field in agriculture and food science. The usage of nanoscale materials in sensing and detection applications is growing quickly, providing alternative methods to conventional techniques for detecting chemical and biological contaminants in foods, beverages, and other products. Nanotechnology has the potential to innovate the agricultural, feed, and food sectors (further stated as agri/feed/food). Applications that are marketed already feature original product packaging with antimicrobial nanoparticles, and agrochemicals and nutrients that have been nano-encapsulated. Many nano-enabled products are presently under research and development, and may be introduced into the industry in the future. As with any other structured product, for market sanctions, applications need to prove the safe use of such new products without posing unwarranted safety risks to the consumer or the environment. In this review, we summarize the uses of nanotechnology related to food and nutraceuticals, while also identifying the outstanding challenges.

纳米技术是农业和食品科学领域一个令人兴奋且迅速发展的领域。纳米材料在传感和检测应用中的使用正在迅速增长，这为检测食品，饮料和其他产品中化学和生物污染物的常规技术提供了替代方法。纳米技术具有革新农业，饲料和食品部门的潜力（进一步称为农业/饲料/食品）。市场上的应用已经具有抗菌纳米颗粒的原始产品包装以及经过纳米封装的农用化学品和营养成分。当前，许多纳米功能产品正在研究和开发中，将来可能会引入该行业。与其他结构化产品一样，为了市场制裁，应用程序需要证明这些新产品的安全使用，而不会对消费者或环境造成不必要的安全风险。在这篇综述中，我们总结了与食品和营养保健品有关的纳米技术的使用，同时也指出了突出的挑战。
