“…Nanoparticles are clusters of microscopic particles ranging from 1 to 100 nm in size and exhibit properties on the basis of morphology, size and distribution (Kostoff et al 2007). Nanoparticles act as a bridge between bulk material and atomic structure.…”

Green synthesis and characterization of silver nanoparticles using Cydonia oblong seed extract

et al. 2016

The green synthesis of nanoparticles has emerged as a cost-effective and environmentally benign technique. The present study describes the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) using a seed extract of Cydonia oblonga. The conditions were optimized by adjusting pH, temperature, time and amount of seed extract. The nanoparticles produced were characterized by different techniques, namely UV-visible spectroscopy, Fourier transmission infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy. The formation of Ag-NPs was confirmed by UV-visible spectroscopic analysis. FTIR analysis was performed to identify the biomolecules, which played a key role in the reduction of Ag ? ions. XRD confirmed that the silver nanoparticles possessed face-centered cubic structure. The green chemistry approach has proven that Ag-NPs can be synthesized by using plant extract in which biomolecules effectively act as capping and reducing agent.

“…Scientific publications in nanotechnology between 1990 and 2006 showed that the United States and the European Union countries had the highest number and the most cited scientific publications, although China and other Asian countries have increased their shares recently 17 . Meanwhile, it should be noted that the Chinese and Koreans have been publishing their outcomes in low impact journals 18 . Besides bibliometry, another useful forecasting technique is extrapolation growth curves that characterize the scientific and technological development stage, which can be emerging, growing, maturation or saturation period, in a specific topic.…”

This research aims to examine scientific and technological trends of developments in nanocellulose based on scientometric and patent indicators obtained from the Science Citation Index and Derwent Innovations Index in 2001-2010. The overall nanocellulose activity indicators were compared to nanotechnology and other selected nanomaterials. Scientific and technological future developments in nanocellulose were forecasted using extrapolation growth curves and the main countries were also mapped. The results showed that nanocellulose publications and patent documents have increased rapidly over the last five years with an average growth rate higher than that of nanotechnology and fullerene. The USA, Japan, France, Sweden and Finland all played a significant role in nanocellulose development and the extrapolation growth curves suggested that nanocellulose scientific and technological activities are still emerging. Finally, the evidence from this study recommends monitoring nanocellulose S&T advances in the coming years.

“…While not all patents result in active commercialization, growth and accumulation of patents in a new area of technology has been considered as indicating directions for subsequent investments and related product/process innovations (Schmoch 2006). Thus patent analysis has often been used to both assess current status and trends in technology development, and classify and map the technology to relevant application areas for strategic planning (Hullmann and Meyer 2003;Daim et al 2006;Kostoff et al 2007 Based on this concept, a set of 69 patents with implications for food sector was retrieved. The database of patents were collected and analyzed mainly from three resources viz., (i) freely available databases of international/national patent offices (USPTO, EPO, iPAIRS and WIPO); (ii) non-charge providers (Google patents, Free patents Online) and (iii) charge provider (Questel).…”

Therefore, an effort was made to identify and map areas of nanoresearch and food supply chain to the determinants of food sector identified earlier, namely, food processing, packaging, nutraceutical delivery, safety & sensing and functional food (Fig.…”

Nanotechnology in food processing sector-An assessment of emerging trends

2012

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Use of nanoscience based technology in the food industry is fast emerging as new area for research and development. Several research groups including private companies in the industry have initiated research programmes for exploring the wide scope of nanotechnology into the value chain of food processing and manufacturing. This paper discusses the current focus of research in this area and assesses its potential impacts. Using the developed relational database framework with R&D indicators like literature and patent documents for assessment of the potential of nanotechnology in food sector, a model to organize and map nanoresearch areas to the food processing sector was developed. The study indicates that the about five basic categories of nanotechnology applications and functionalities currently in the development of food sector, include food processing, packaging, nutraceuticals delivery, food safety and functional foods.
