Abstract
Nanobiosensor technology is a powerful technology that fulfills the
requirement of specificity and sensitivity. It is an important prerequisite for agriculture,
health care, food processing, and packaging. Highly miniature sensors have been
designed and achieved based on nanotechnology. Nanobiotechnology is an
interdisciplinary invention of nanosciences (Materials, Electronics, Mechanics,
Computers, and Biology) to create biosensors with highly reliable detecting
competence. Nanobiosensors are nanosensors with immobilized bio-receptor analyses
that are selective for target analyte particles. Being in the nanoscale, the data are
sensed, processed, and analyzed at an atomic scale. Their applications consist of the
recognition of organic analytes like microorganisms/ pathogens and pesticides and
observing metabolites. They can also be used to facilitate molecular analysis by
integrating with other technologies, such as lab-on-a-chip. Nanobiotechnology is a
newly explored research area that gears up real bioanalytical applications. This chapter
is a journey of philosophy, understanding and setting a pattern for using
nanotechnology in agriculture. This episode is a presentation of the essence of
nanomaterials and their applications of nanomaterials for agriculture. The significance
and importance of nanomaterials in the food industry are added.
