SERIES FOREWORD
The emergence of nanotechnology has reached impressive heights in recent years and the development of special nanodevices and nanomaterials has found intriguing applications in agriculture and food sector. Most of the investigated nanotechnological approaches initially aimed to solve evolving problems in the agrifood industry in order to impact on the economic potential. Soon after the implementation of new technologies and approaches that were using nanostructured materials, the worldwide concern was rapidly extended to numerous applications that could be developed by using the science of nanosized materials. Smart materials, biosensors, packaging materials, nutraceuticals, and nanodevices have been designed to address numerous agri-food related issues with direct impact in health, economy, ecology, and industry. As the engineering of nanostructures has constantly progressed and extended its applications, there is virtually unlimited potential in this sector. However, the widely differing opinions on the applicability and usefulness of nanotechnology between both specialists and the general public has hampered progress. The main concern manifested by people is related to the potential risk for health and the environmental impact of the recently developed nanoengineered materials and devices. Therefore, current approaches are strictly considering these concerns when designing nanotechnological solutions for agriculture and food sectors.
This multivolume series was developed by the constant need to discover current inquiries and approaches on the field of agrifood science and also to learn about the most recent progress, approaches, and applications that have emerged through nanotechnology.
As agriculture is the backbone of most developing countries, nanotechnology has the potential to revolutionize the agriculture and food sector by promoting productivity through genetic improvement of plant and animal foods. It can also ensure the delivery of drugs, genes, and pesticides to specific sites at cellular levels in targeted plants and animals, by limiting side effects. Nanotechnology can be used to evaluate gene expression under different stress condition for both plant and animal foods through the development of nanoarray-based gene-technologies. Additionally, this technology can detect fertilizers, pesticides with high precision by smart nanosenors for an adequate management of the natural resources. Moreover, numerous industrial-related applications with direct impact on economy have emerged. For example,
nano- and micro-structured arrays can detect the early presence of pathogens, contaminants, and food spoilage factors. Other applications for this technology are smart integration systems for food processing and packaging, as well as nanoemulsion-based decontaminants for food equipment and storage compartments, and nanoparticles that facilitate the bioavailability and delivery of nutrients directly to cells.
The potential benefits of nanotechnology for agriculture, food, fisheries, and aquaculture were identified and supported by many countries, which invested a significant amount of money in the development of applications. Also, numerous campaigns are currently trying to increase awareness on the developing process and recent technologies in order to influence the acceptance of customers. Although nanoagri-food industrialized concept could help to find a sustainable solution for the current global food crisis, the offered advantages should balance the concerns regarding soil, water, environment, and health related issues that such approach could bring.
The series entitled Nanotechnology in the Agri-Food Industry brings comprehensive and recent knowledge regarding the impact of the science of nanometer-sized materials on the field of agriculture and food industry, but also discuss the current inquiries regarding risks of these applications in all relevant fields such as environment and health, aiming to increase awareness to a wider amount of readers.

SERIES PREFACE
About the Series (Volumes I–X)
In a permanently changing society, health and well being remain the key drivers for the food industry. Despite the technological progress made in the agri-food industry, a true food crisis emerges in several areas of the globe. This can be explained by insufficient food but mostly by inadequate food for a very distinct range of consumers. In this context, innovative technologies represent the core throughout the whole food chain from raw materials/ ingredient sourcing, food processing, quality control of finished products, and packaging. Nanotechnology, coupled with novel interdisciplinary approaches and processing methods, has enabled some important advances recently flourishing in many of these areas. The science of nanosized materials can improve and even resolve the huge challenges faced by the food and bioprocessing industries for developing and implementing systems that can produce qualitative and quantitative foods that are safe, sustainable, environment friendly, and efficient. This emerging tool finds its applications in various fields and represents an endless approach for the development of innovative strategies in food development, processing, and packaging.
This multivolume set aims to bring together the most recent and innovative applications of nanotechnology in the agri-food industry, but also to present the future perspectives in the design of new or alternative foods.
The series contains 200 chapters organized in 10 volumes, prepared by outstanding research groups that made significant impacts on the field of nanotechnology and food-related research sectors. This comprehensive set represents an updated and highly structured material for undergraduate and postgraduate students in food science, biotechnological, engineering fields, but also a valuable resource of recent scientific progress, along with most known applications of nanomaterials on the food industry to be used by researchers, engineers, and academia. Moreover, novel opportunities and ideas for developing or improving technologies in the agri-food industry by innovative companies, biotechnological industries, and other economical structures are highlighted and their potential is widely dissected. This series may be also valuable for the wide audience interested in recent nanotechnological progress in the agri-food field worldwide.
These 10 volumes cover almost all aspects related to the applications of Nanotechnology in the Agri-Food Industry and are named as:
Volume I Novel Approaches
Volume II Encapsulations
Volume III Emulsions
Volume IV Nutraceuticals
Volume V Nutrient Delivery
Volume VI Food Preservation
Volume VII Food Packaging
Volume VIII NanoBioSensors
Volume IX Water Purification
Volume X New Pesticides and Soil Sensors
Each volume contains 20 chapters, which were carefully composed and illustrated to highlight the most innovative and intensively investigated applications of nanotechnology on particular wide interest domains of the agri-food industry field.
