Trying to post a new page on NANOFOOD:

Nanofood: Food which has undergone one or more technological processes, at the nanoscale level, to manipulate the selection, extraction, storage, combination, transport, increase or decrease in one or more of its properties or characteristics, nutritional and organoleptic properties intrinsic to the substance or linked to specific physiological, social and economic properties of that substances.

Nanomaterials and nanotechnologies are currently being incorporated into food sources to enhance nutrition, taste, texture, and absorptivity. Possible applications of nanotechnology to the food industry include:

1. Functional foods 2. Targeted Nutrition 3. Absorption efficiency. 4. Time released food 5. Treatment of obesity. 6. Nutraceutical foods. 7. Interactive drinks. 8. Cultured meat (aka in-vitro meat)

Many of the same principles that are being used in nanomedicine (such as growing tissue, targeted therapies) may be applied to development of food products.
