                                    Citation: Appell, M. 2015. Recent advances in applied nanoscience for food safety. Meeting Abstract.Interpretive Summary:
                                Technical Abstract: Ongoing developments in nanotechnology offer potential to transform agriculture in several areas, including food safety, quality, packaging, product traceability, food processing, and bioactive delivery. These nanoscience-based applications utilize the unique properties of materials with a dimension of 1-100 nm. Transfer of this technology from the research environment under ideal conditions to practical applications in the field is complicated by a variety of factors, including materials cost, safety, and difficulties associated with food/commodity matrix. Within these aspects, an overview of the merits and limitations of nanotechnology to address agricultural problems will be presented, including approaches for toxin detection and removal.
