Nanotechnology in the food industry






The topic that I choose today to write in my blog is because is very practical and important inform us about the packaging and the technology that composes them. In the world tons of food end up in the trash, because maintaining the optimal properties of food is sometimes more complicated than we think. Therefore, the nanotechnology is called to reign in the packaging industry.


This is very important because this technology provides active and intelligent packaging that helps us
to conserve food for a longer time, it makes them safer and helps them to preserve their qualities.

The Nanotechnology is one of the most promising and fastest growing technologies in our society and therefore in the food industry, since it allows the development of a new generation of intelligent and innovative products and processes.



I didn't know before that it was an active packing or an intelligent label. This year I did a job on these packing for a subject of the University, therefore I researched a lot about the subject and I learned that they bring many advantages to people, since it has been possible to develop a nanotechnology that allows to double the useful life of some foods, reducing the loss of food. It has helped also to conserve the properties, since the preservatives are added to the container and not to the product. The only disadvantage that I could mention is that active and intelligent packaging aren't made of biodegradable compounds yet, but it is being researched so that in the future we will have more natural and safe foods.

    The nanotechnology in the packing is very good idea!

    I hope that in the future we can have intelligent and biodegradable packaging :)

My favourite film

The Films are great hobby for me, I go the cinema when have time, but in the vacations I go to the cinema always. I love go to the Normandie Cinema Art or make afternons of cinema in my house. I like very films, but if i would have that choose one to recommend I choose the film Big fish by  Tim Burton.   This film is a  American fantasy comedy-drama based on the 1998  novel of the same name . What I like of this master piece is that is full of surprises , the histories of protagonist is fantastic, due that there is a mixture of fantasy and reality achieved perfectly . The history of love is lovely, show the past and the present and gives diferent teaching s that thrills. Therefore I recommend this movie to be seen many times, every time you see Big fish you find new and wonderful things .

My best holidays

The summer holidays of this year I made my first travel without my parents.   I went with my boyfriend to the south of Chile and we traveled different and beautiful cities during two weeks. I was happy, so I had never gone south of Chile, because I and my parents always went to the beach “La Boca de Rapel”. Our first destination was Valdivia, I met the famous bridge, sea lions and a nearby beach called “Niebla”. One of the things that I liked the most was that I was able to go to the Kunstmann brewery, when I probed many varieties of beer. After I met the Osorno volcano and its crystal clear lake. In the buses we translated many small towns and during two days we camped in Petrohue, this is a place with magical landscapes. I met there Petrohue waterfall’s , I take many Photographs! The second week of travel we were in “Panguipulli” with my boyfriend, we traveled beaches and nearby towns. My favourite day was when we went to the hot springs, one ...

The most enjoyable subject...

 During these 3 semesters that I have been in the university I have seen many subjects; theoretical,practical in the laboratory, there are subjects that have both options, for example Biology. I  have also had sports subjects, called "CFG". I don't have a favorite subject, but there are some that I like more than others.  Analytical chemistry is a theoretical subject of the third semester that I like. In this subject we see different topics, for example, chemical equilibrium, analysis of anions and cations, redox volumetry, among others. I like this sybjetc, for different factors, one of them is because I have good marks,  another factor is that it is a theoretical subject, therefore I shouldn't go to the laboratory.  The mathematical calculations and the way of performing the exercises is very mechanical, you have to be ordered to arrive at the correct answer and that is very good for me. I don't  have a good memory, but now I am surprised, since...
