- Description
- This review examines the applications of metallic silver and copper oxide nanoparticles in food preservation, emphasizing their potential to revolutionize food packaging and reduce environmental pollution through enhanced waste management strategies. Synthesis of these nanoparticles via green methods including bacteria-, fungi-, and plant-mediated approaches have been discussed. The antimicrobial properties and toxicity of silver and copper oxide nanoparticles have been evaluated highlighting their efficiency in inhibiting microbial growth and extending the shelf life of food products. Regulatory policies governing the use of these nanoparticles in food packaging have been analyzed along with the exploration of active packaging technologies that leverage their unique properties. By integrating advances in nanotechnology with better food formulations, this review underscores the transformative impact of silver and copper oxide nanoparticles on food safety and environmental sustainability, offering insights into the future directions for research and newer applications. 2024
