Safety and Regulatory Issues of Nanoencapsulated Food Ingredients, a volume in the Nanoencapsulation in the Food Industry series, discusses the safety and toxicity potential of food-relevant and edible nanostructures, along with investigating the legislations issued by different countries and organizations governing the safety of nanoencapsulated ingredients. The chapters are dedicated to the safety issues of nanocapsules in food matrices plus their possible toxicity effects are presented; the in vitro and in vivo assays are explored to underline the impacts of these tiny materials in the living system. The regulations legislated by different countries and organizations in regard to nano-food products are also highlighted. Authored by a team of global experts in the fields of nano and microencapsulation of food, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical ingredients, this title is of great value to those engaged in the various fields of of nanoencapsulation. Explores how to analyse the safety of nanoencapsulated bioactive ingredientsDiscusses the regulations governing the safety of nanoencapsulated ingredients in different countriesInvestigates what agencies and which governmental organization are responsible for safety of nanoencapsulated ingredients INDICE: 1. Safety and toxicity aspects of food nano-particles 2. Possible health risks associated with food nano-particles 3. In Vitro assays for predicting the safety of food-based nanomaterials 4.
