Nanomaterials-based Food Preservation Solutions

Nanomaterials-based Food Preservation Solutions

Nanotechnology has become an important emerging technology in the field of food, and the nanomaterials developed therefrom have been well applied in food preservation. Aprofood has carried out in-depth exploration in the field of food nanomaterials and is committed to providing global customers with a full range of food preservation solutions based on nanomaterials.


Overview of Nanomaterials

The rapid development of nanotechnology has changed many fields of food science, especially those related to food processing, packaging, storage, transportation, function and other safety aspects. From inorganic metals, metal oxides and their nanocomposites to bioactive nano organic materials, a wide range of nanostructured materials have been used in the food industry.

These nanomaterials can successfully improve food quality by improving the efficacy of food packaging, shelf life and as additives, without changing the sensory and physical properties of food. Antibacterial packaging is the most successful application of nanomaterials in food preservation. For example, antibacterial nanoparticles used in active packaging can protect food from dangerous bacteria and spoilage bacteria, thereby extending shelf life and quality freshness, and improving customers' storage efficiency. satisfaction in the process.

Our Solutions

Food preservation is an important application of nanomaterials. With extensive experience and expertise, CD BioSciences provides global customers with food preservation solutions based on a variety of nanomaterial systems.

Nanoemulsion-based Food Preservation Solutio

Nanoemulsion-based Food Preservation Solution

The nanoemulsion system can wrap functional components such as antioxidants and bacteriostatic agents, prevent their degradation and migration, provide controlled transportation, and maintain the stability of functional components during food preservation, processing and storage.

Nanoparticle-based Food Preservation Solution

Nanoparticle-based Food Preservation Solution

Inorganic nanoparticles, such as metal, alloy and oxide nanoparticles, have attracted much attention due to their antibacterial and antioxidant properties. The common organic nanoparticles can also be used as the carrier of a variety of active ingredients and are widely used in food preservation.

Nanoliposome-based Food Preservation Solution

Nanoliposome-based Food Preservation Solution

Nanoliposomes provide a larger surface area, which can improve bioavailability and controlled release. Nanoliposomes have been used to package and control the delivery of functional ingredients for food preservation, such as antioxidants, spices, preservatives, etc.

Nanofiber-based Food Preservation Solution

Nanofiber-based Food Preservation Solution

The huge surface area of the nanofiber system endows it with a unique "activity" function. Active ingredients can be embedded in its structure to produce active packaging with antibacterial effect, and slow release can be carried out to achieve long-term food preservation.

Nanofiber-based Food Preservation Solution

Nanocellulose-based Food Preservation Solution

Nanocellulose is easily surface-modified due to its high specific surface area, high compressive strength, low density, small expansion coefficient, and due to its polyhydroxy structure. Therefore, it also has broad application prospects in the field of food preservation.

Nanocapsule-based Food Preservation Solution

Nanocapsule-based Food Preservation Solution

Encapsulating functional ingredients of food preservation in a unique polymer film can enhance their stability and control their release under specific conditions. At present, it is widely used in food active packaging materials and fresh-keeping preparations.

Nano Chitosan-based Food Preservation Solution

Nano Chitosan-based Food Preservation Solution

The nanostructure greatly improves the permeability of chitosan, which can enter the bacterial body more easily and combine with the negatively charged substances and metal ions in the bacterial body to kill the bacteria. Foods coated with nano chitosan can significantly slow down the rate of spoilage and prolong the shelf life.

Aprofood is committed to providing customers around the world with extensive support for food preservation related research. We focus on the development of food preservation solutions based on nanomaterials. Please contact us to learn more about our nanomaterials-based food preservative solutions!
