Abstract:

Nanotechnology applications are widely incorporated into the food sector. Due to their smaller size and increased volume-specific surface area, nanoparticles may possess unique properties compared to their bulk counterparts, making them useful for applications such as food coloring and plant protection products. Manufacturers bringing food-based nanotechnology applications to the European market must comply with the European Union’s regulatory framework, including a nanospecific risk assessment [1,2]. Currently, hazard and risk assessment still heavily relies on conventional animal tes…
