Nanotechnology is a key advanced technology enabling contribution, development, and sustainable impact on food, medicine, and agriculture sectors. Nano- materials have potential to lead qualitative and quantitative production of healthier, safer, and high-quality functional foods which are perishable or ...
According to some techno-evangelists, humanity is on the verge of huge breakthroughs in computing, robotics, genetics, automation and artificial intelligence that will dwarf many of the inventions of the past two centuries. They might be right, but at what price? What might the cost be of the...
The need to increase a sustainable food production for a predicted world population of 9 billion by 2050 represents a priority for all countries [1]. Protected agriculture has enabled us to extend the food production capability in many developed countries and, recently, to less prosperous regions ...
The authors concluded that the estimated treatment cost is too high for industrial-scale applications because some techno-economic aspects are still unclear [53]. Each investigation must be considered in its own context: the first study mentioned here—SODIS in PET bottles—presented estimates for ...
The food industries are interested in developing functional products due to their popularity within nutritional and healthy circles. Functional fruit-based beverages represent one of the fast-growing markets due to the high concentrations of bioactive compounds (BCs), which can be health promoters. Henc...
