ROLE OF NANOTECHNOLOGY IN NEUTRACEUTICALS

Nanotechnology can enhance the solubility, stability, and bio availability of active ingredients, its application in nutraceutical is expanding quickly. Their small size and high surface-to-volume ratio are what give them their distinctive qualities. However, the possible negative impacts of nanoparticles on human health are also caused by these physico-chemical characteristics. It is necessary to assess the efficacy and safety of novel marketable nutraceutical compositions. The food business is currently being invaded by nanotechnology, which has enormous potential. Applications of nanotechnology in the food sector include: delivering and encapsulating materials at specific locations, boosting flavour, adding antimicrobial nanoparticles to food, extending shelf life, detecting contamination, better food storage, tracking, tracing, and trademark protection. Nutraceutical, which provide health advantages and can replace modern medicine, have gained popularity in recent years. Vegetables and fruits high in nutraceutical are essential to a balanced diet. Food supplements, dietary supplements, processed foods with additional value, and non-food supplements such tablets, soft gels, and capsules are examples of such goods.
