Resumen:

Currently and due to the advances in nanotechnology applications in food preservation, there is great interest in structures such as nanocontainers to transport and release substances with a potential antioxidant and antimicrobial effect or as modifiers of flavor, color, texture, etc., which contribute to new functional products and which can also serve to increase the shelf life of food. A nanocontainer is any structure composed of natural, biodegradable polymers; liquid lipids; lipid solids at room temperature; or a mixture of these components or of other inorganic-organic components capable of increasing the shelf life of products, considering their application in different process stages and the purposes for the use of nanocontainers as texture modifiers, flavor enhancers, emulsion stabilizers, coating systems, etc. Hence, this chapter will review the different ways that nanocontainers contribute to the release of additives and other components during the food process, as well as their influence on the preservation of food, taking into consideration the interactions among the environment food nanocontainer. © 2020 Elsevier Inc.
