2. Manufactured nanomaterials in food
As a result of consuming animal and plant products, our food naturally contains substances, molecules or assemblies of molecules that are less than 100 nm in size, such as casein micelles and minerals in milk. . Our modern diet also contains substances known as food additives, to which we turn our attention here. Food additives are substances intentionally added to food to perform specific technological functions, for example to color, sweeten or help preserve food. In the European Union, all food additives are identified by a number starting...
