The In Vitro Toxicity Profile of ZnS and CdS Quantum Dots in Polysaccharide Carriers (Starch/Chitosan).

Nanocomposites are an emerging technology for ensuring food safety and quality. Their unique properties, attributed to nanoparticle presence, facilitate the development of sophisticated sensors and biosensors for detecting harmful substances, microbial growth, and environmental changes in food products. Smart and/or active food packaging development also benefits from the use of nanocomposites.
