SCOPE OF NANOTECHNOLOGY IN NUTRACEUTICALS, COSMECEUTICALS AND DENTISTRY – REVIEW
AbstractNanotechnology is predicted to change health care essentially. The word nano originates from the Greek word “dwarf”. The idea of nanotechnology was first explained in 1959 by Richard Feynman. Nanotechnology has applications in many fields, including Medicine, Diagnostics, Drug delivery, Tissue engineering, Pharmaceuticals, Cosmeceuticals, Nutraceuticals, Dental materials, the Food industry etc. Nanotechnology is a multidisciplinary science that aims to design structures on a nanometric scale. Nanotechnology in drug delivery has appeared in nanoformulations with unique properties both in vivo and in vitro, particularly in targeted delivery. Nanotechnology has the potential to transform every aspect related to the food industry, food packaging, food storage, processing, pesticide, and food sensors which are some of the aspects of the food industry where prominent research is in progress utilizing the unique physicochemical properties of nanomaterials. Using these nanoparticles in the dietary supplement industry may improve supplement absorption and the bioavailability of drugs, nutraceuticals, and cosmetics.
