纳米氧化锌在食品领域中的应用及安全性 研究进展

纳米氧化锌因其具有良好的抗菌性能已成为目前抗菌材料的研究热点。然而,随着纳米氧化锌在食品包装材料和食品添加剂等领域的广泛应用,其将不可避免地进入到生物体内,从而对人体健康造成一定危害,因此其生物安全性也引起了广泛关注。本文通过总结和归纳相关的研究报道,阐述了纳米氧化锌在食品领域的应用,并介绍了其可能引起的遗传、免疫、生殖、神经等毒性效应,深入探讨了纳米氧化锌相关毒性的影响因素,以期为今后纳米氧化锌在食品领域的研究和应用提供参考。

Application and security of nano zinc oxide in food field

Nano zinc oxide (ZnO) has become the research hotspots in the field of antibacterial materials due to its extraordinary antibacterial ability. However, with the widely application in the field of food packaging and food additives, nano zinc oxide may enter the organism inevitably, which can cause harm to human health. Therefore, the biological safety of nano zinc oxide has aroused widespread concern. This paper summarized the latest research findings about nano zinc oxide, described the application of nano zinc oxide in the field of food, and introduced the potential effects of genetic, immune, reproductive and nervous toxicity caused by nano zinc oxide. In addition, the influence factors associated with the toxicity of nano zinc oxide were discussed in detail, which could provide references for future research and application of nano zinc oxide in the field of food.
