Preface

Nanobiotechnology is defined as the convergence of nanotechnology and biology that is leading to the development of a new class of multifunctional devices and systems. Due to highly unique properties of nanomaterials, nanobiotechnology has gained a wide range of applications in fields such as biotechnology, chemical engineering, civil engineering, and medical sciences. In the food industry, however, not all scientists and engineers have recognized the potential applications of nanobiotechnology. Distinctive chemical and physical properties of nanomaterials make them very attractive for new food product developments. During food processing, nanoparticles could be applied to improve nutritional quality, flow properties, sensory characteristics, and shelf
