Abstract :
Since people consume different varieties of
food, they are more conscious of their health nowadays.
Food analysis, which is a major element, helps to
monitor the food quality for risk assessment regarding
public health. As Carbon Quantum Dots (CQDs) are the
least toxic, they are in great demand. They help to
optimize food packaging, detect as well as monitor
foodborne pathogens, and assess food quality utilizing
imaging and sensing. Owing to their nontoxicity and eco-
friendliness, CQDs stand unique although there are
different kinds of Quantum Dots (QDs). To enhance food
safety, quality assessment, and packaging, CQDs also
deliver exciting possibilities. CQD applications can
detect insecticide residues, antibiotics, nutrients, heavy
metals, pathogens, and food additives. Furthermore,
CQDs find use in food packaging materials in which
their Ultraviolet (UV) barrier, antimicrobial, and
antioxidant properties increase product shelf life and
decrease food waste. Hence, explaining CQDs’ industrial
applications in the food sector is the study’s objective. In
this paper, CQDs' role in food processing and its
industrial applications in food sectors, including food
detection and packaging are explored.
