the food industry is impossible without joint open discussion of scientists,
industrialists and consumers. Moreover, in order to protect consumers from the
possible negative effects on the body, the German scientists have come out with
an initiative to introduce labeling for nano products, similar to that used for
genetically - modified products. Round table on the topic of food production
affected threads of new tastes and textures of food ingredients produced using
nanoprocesses. Participants also discussed the nano -coating to improve
production lines, preventing the penetration of microbes in the production
department, as well as improving the packaging of finished products in order to
increase the shelf life and informing customers about the damage.
At the same time, there are concerns about the possible risks associated
with new products, especially when nanomaterials represent nanoparticles.
Although people are exposed to nanoparticles throughout life, have them can be
quite another matter. A simple improvement may be more qualitative
emulsification - where watery and oily liquids are mixed - so low-fat
margarine, for example, will have a useful part. However, the introduction of a
completely new nanomaterials in packaging or even himself food product
requires increased caution. Experts of the Federal Environment Agency of
Germany (UBA) have come to the conclusion that the industrial use of
nanotechnology in food, clothing, cosmetics and other products can be
dangerous to human health. This information, according to the
German
newspaper Sueddeutsche Zeitung
, contained in an unpublished study department.
Although no one has seen the nanoparticles to the naked eye, they are
everywhere, according to Sueddeutsche Zeitung. Such particles should have a
positive effect: when used in the production of socks they suppress the activity
of bacteria and thus destroy odor. The chocolate bars not nanotechnology surface
poseret give product (otherwise graying) and nanoparticles in sunscreens block
ultafioletovye rays.
Of course, so it needed to be monitored by government authorities, as
population, professionals need to be sure that the market falls and gets a safe,
useful, and not just profitable products.

inorganic composite hydrogels
in their composition are
introduced to modify the properties of conventional polymer hydrogels
(improved compatibility with biological tissues, the mechanical properties,
increased sensitivity hydrogels to thermal influences, pH change, etc...), or to
impart new properties not typical for conventional hydrogels (magnetic
properties, antibacterial properties). The organic-inorganic composite hydrogels
as the inorganic component comprises metal oxides or various clays, water-
insoluble inorganic salts and metals.
