ABSTRACT
Nanoscience and nanotechnology hold a huge potent in several fields and are envisaged as technology that can lead the way toward sustainable
environment-friendly development in the coming years. These are very rapidly growing disciplines in the field of the food industry. By using this technology, the food industry is expanding the process of encapsulation of aromas and flavors and nanodelivery systems. This chapter is a compendium, which addresses important modern technologies in the field of food nanotechnology. In the given current situation that we are all in, it is a very challenging task for using and synthesis of unique, innovative materials in a system that is nano-sized for the packaging of food. The preservation of the organoleptic profile of the product is done by encapsulating the aromatic compounds until it can be used and this ensures the quality remains high as well as the commercial value. In the following chapter, those materials that are being used commercially, how the taste and odor are maintained and the various encapsulation techniques for the process of encapsulation are discussed.
