Analysis of main trends in food nanotechnology innovation: a technology surveillance-based
Abstract
This study analyzes the main trends in scientific and technological production in the field of food nanotechnology. The purpose is to describe their evolution and thus identify potential opportunities for innovation based on their main uses and applications in the food industry. Technology Surveillance, scientometric indicators, and graph and network theory were used to visualize and analyze the behavior of the main research fields and technological development of the subject under study. We identified 8 potential innovation opportunities in the area: nanoparticles, nanomaterials, nanocomposites, nanoemulsions, nanoencapsulation, microencapsulation, nanorecovering, and nanosensors. All of them are significantly influencing the development of the food industry and have become key elements of research and technological progress worldwide. The uses and applications of nanotechnology in the food industry have rapidly expanded in recent decades, and their constant evolution has made a great contribution to the development of this sector.
