“…Extrusion techniques represent another attractive strategy, whereby the active substance is embedded into the biopolymer nanocarrier solution, usually polysaccharides, enabling an effective encapsulation of an ample range of hydrophilic or hydrophobic active compounds. In this laboratory-scale practice, the solution is loaded inside a syringe and posteriorly forced to pass through a nano-scale needle into a gelling medium [ 29 , 62 ]. These techniques are considered advantageous on account of operative mild conditions in terms of temperature or solvents.…”

Nanotechnology advances are rapidly spreading through the food science field; however, their major application has been focused on the development of novel packaging materials reinforced with nanoparticles. Bionanocomposites are formed with a bio-based polymeric material incorporated with components at a nanoscale size. These bionanocomposites can also be applied to preparing an encapsulation system aimed at the controlled release of active compounds, which is more related to the development of novel ingredients in the food science and technology field. The fast development of this knowledge is driven by consumer demand for more natural and environmentally friendly products, which explains the preference for biodegradable materials and additives obtained from natural sources. In this review, the latest developments of bionanocomposites for food processing (encapsulation technology) and food packaging applications are gathered.
