“…Evidence from scientific studies demonstrates that ENMs and conventional materials have distinct psychochemical properties (size, shape, surface area, solubility, aggregates, agglomerates) (Marin-Bustamante et al, 2019;EFSA Scientific Committee, 2021;Tiwari et al, 2021;Bizymis & Tzia, 2022). The tiny particle has a greater surface area to volume ratio, which promotes greater reactivity and allows for novel applications that could be achieved using conventional-size materials (Thangadurai et al, 2020).…”

Food derived from nanotechnology or contains engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) is widely available for consumers in the marketplace. Oral exposure to ENMs has been linked to various potential adverse effects on human safety and health. In Malaysia, nanofood is regulated with a regulatory framework designed for conventional food without considering the unique and novel properties of ENMs. The adequacy of the existing framework for regulating the safety and health risks of nanofood is ambiguous. This study examined the necessity for Malaysia of having such regulatory framework to govern the safety and health risks of nanofood using the precautionary principle. By adopting the doctrinal analysis, the finding suggests that the existing food safety framework must be amended to incorporate specific provisions on nanotechnology, and that the amendment must be based on the precautionary principle. The new regulatory framework enables the food safety authority to implement the earliest precautionary measure, protecting consumers from serious future harm caused by nanofood. The proposed regulatory framework will strengthen the domestic food safety framework and national food safety policy in meeting the challenge posed by nanofood.

“…In addition to these positive effects, they also have some demerits like poorbarrier to moisture and harnessed mechanical properties. Due to their exceptional properties, interest in nanomaterials has been increased over the past few years ( 106 ). As they are capable of increasing thermal, mechanical, and gas barrier properties, they are used as precedent in food packaging without compromising their non-toxic and biodegradable ability.…”

Smart packaging becomes more popular as it increases the safety of food consumption by monitoring a packaged food state and informing the customer about it, for example, by visual reaction of a special label on its surface. Nanomaterials can provide the needed functionality to such labels. Application of ink compositions containing silver nanoparticles on paper materials by screen printing is quite promising. A special ink composition was developed based on Ag nanoparticles that possess changeable photoluminescence properties in contact with compounds that indicate food decay. The possibility of application of this ink onto the surface of paper-based materials via screen printing was studied. The influence of ink layer thickness, characteristics of paper materials (degree of sizing, content of optical brighteners), and content of the fluorescent component in the ink composition on photoluminescence properties of printed labels for smart packaging was investigated. It was determined how to choose proper values of these technological parameters in order to obtain high luminescence intensity and predetermined luminescence color of printed labels using the developed nanophotonic inks. The results of the study allow industrial production of functional labels for smart packaging with nanophotonic elements with the needed optical (photoluminescence) characteristics, as well as for protecting packaging from counterfeiting.
