Abstract

Nanoparticles are widely used in various fields, because of their unique physical and chemical properties. Especially, metal oxide nanoparticles are widely used in food packaging and food additives, because they generally have antibacterial and coloring properties. Recent studies have shown that nanoparticles can enter the human body through food, soil, and bio-enrichment, and have an impact on the body. This article focused on the application and the toxicity of several commonly used metal oxide nanoparticles (including TiO2, ZnO, and Fe3O4) in the food industry, providing some references for a more comprehensive understanding of metal oxide nanoparticles.
