Starch Nanomaterials and Food Applications

Starch nanomaterials can be classified as nanocrystals, nanoparticles, nanofibers, nanomicelles and nanovesicles which are produced by both "top-down" and "bottom-up" approaches. Starch nanomaterials feature advanced structures with different physicochemical properties than those found in native starches. In the food industry, starch nanomaterials can be used to reduce spoilage and oxidation in ...
