Prevent oxidation with nanoparticles derived from corn
News about nanotechnology is reported almost every day. Nanotechnology in agriculture, not so much. Nanotechnology made from agricultural products, we hear about that even less. So this story concerning research done at Purdue University (Indiana, USA), which uses nanoparticles manufactured from corn to extend the shelf life of certain oils demonstrates the radiation of nanotech into so many fields (pardon the pun).
A patent is already pending for this use of corn-derived nanoparticles, which is an indicator of how viable the approach may be in terms of commercial application. It seems that the ability of nanoscale materials to make novel and useful surfaces (coatings) is one of the most lucrative and therefore powerful drivers in nanotechnology research.
