1st Edition
Nanobiotechnology for Sustainable Food Management
Among the most novel and ever-growing approaches to improving the food industry is nanobiotechnology. In this book, the prospective role of nanobiotechnology in food which includes quality control and safety through nanosensors and biosensors, targeted delivery of nutrients, controlled release of nutrients, proteins, antioxidants, and flavors through encapsulation and enzymatic reactions for food fortification of fat-soluble compounds is discussed. Along the chapters of this book, nanobiotechnological techniques are addressed in detail with specific emphasis on food science applications.
Features:
- Discusses nanobiotechnology in food for quality control and safety.
- Covers food processing and packaging to food safety.
- Explores the positive role of nanomaterials towards the sustainability of the food.
- Provides efficient, real and sustainable solutions to pertinent global problems.
- Includes case studies and research directions of the nanobiotechnology.
This book is aimed at researchers and graduate students in nanotechnology, and food engineering.

Biography
Eduardo López-Maldonado has a BSc. in Chemical Engineering (2009) and a PhD. in Chemical Sciences (2012) from the National Technological Institute of Mexico-Tijuana, Center for Graduates and Research in Chemistry. Dr. López Maldonado, in 2013, received the opportunity to join the staff of researchers at the Center for Research and Technological Development in Electrochemistry (CIDETEQ) S.C., Tijuana Branch. There he began his career as a researcher and was responsible for projects focused on obtaining natural biopolymers and their properties as coagulating, flocculating and chelating agents. He has specialized in carrying out basic and applied science research projects with industries in the region and at the national level. He is a member of the National System of Level I Researchers. He has extensive experience as a facilitator of the Environmental Leadership Program for Competitiveness (PLAC), by SEMARNAT and PROFEPA. Dr. López has participated in national and international conferences in the form of oral presentations and posters, in the area of Polymer Chemistry, Development of innovative processes, Environment and Nanotechnology. To date, Dr. Eduardo is working as a full-time professor-researcher at the Faculty of Chemical Sciences and Engineering of the Autonomous University of Baja California, on the Biopolyelectrolyte Engineering Research line.
