Overview: Nanoscience has its roots in quantum physics(qp) and it is all about size and self assembly.However whilechange qp deals with subatomic particles and waves nano relates to the atomic and molecular level.Expect the unexpected at the nano-level as atomic behavior and properties as normally encountered is dramaticaly changed at this level.In particular properties such as color change due to refraction of light.Gold isa good example as the myriad of colorfull paintin of gs on cathedral wjindows are composed of nanogold. There are two types of nanofabrication called top down which is mainly our concern in foods and bottom up which deals with self assembly of nanoparticles into wires and nanorods with hundreds of times the stregnth of steela stairway to the stars has been proposed as has space elevators. A nanoparticle is 1to 100 billionth of a meter and are not visibleto the naked eye unless agglomeratedsuch as in the above nanogold paintings.They can be observed using a laboratory Microscope. Nanoparticles are used in every asspect of foodand food processing.Their use promises enhanced food products andmethods of manufacture together with improvided quality via more better preservation.however there aresome downsides which if left unregulated could and will present consumer health issues.This is the crux of our discussion. Contaminants can be extracted from the nanoclays used to form enhanced barrier protection particularly in beverages like beer.The extrables from container to liquid (beer) must be carefully monitored as alcohol in beer together with smallparticle size spellhigh extractables.zinc oxide is used to protect from uv rays however nano zno has been found to cause lung health issues.More examples aregiven in the discusson. The gains far outweigh the risks providing proper controls areput in place.
