Abstract
Nanotechnology and biotechnology enjoy a great deal of overlap in many research laboratories. Nanobiotechnology, as the name suggests, refers to the interface between, and convergence of, nano- and biotechnology. It is a multitude of various disciplines such as chemistry, physics, biology and engineering (Fakruddin et al. 2012). Main applications and opportunities of nanotechnology in the agri-food sector is shown in Fig. 10.1.
