<p>Nanoparticles are smaller than 100nm. Size of particle depends upon the method that is used for synthesis of nanoparticles. Magnetic nanoparticles consist of iron, cobalt and nickel and their chemical compounds. Their safety or toxicity is major concern for use in food. Magnetite, hematite and meghemite are types of magnetic nanoparticles. Magnetite (Fe3O4) common among the magnetic iron oxide nanoparticle that is used in food industry. Magnetite is getting popular due to its super paramagnetic properties and lack of toxicity to humans. Different methods are used to synthesize magnetic nanoparticles. Upon contact with air these particles loses magnetism and mono-dispersibility. To overcome this problem these nanoparticles are coated with natural or synthetic polymers, metals, organic and inorganic substances to create stable and hydrophilic nanostructures. Due to easy separation with magnet these magnetic nanoparticles are used as an affinity probe to remove bacteria from different food samples and have food related applications e.g, protein purification, enzyme immobilization and food analysis. These magnetic nanoparticles also used for removal of heavy metals and used in medical field.</p>

AbstractMagnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are used in different biomedical applications, whereby each application requires specific particle properties. To fulfill these requirements, particle properties have to be optimized by means of variation of crystal structure, particle size, and size distribution. To this aim, improved aqueous precipitation procedures for magnetic iron oxide nanoparticle synthesis were developed. One procedure focused on the cyclic growth of MNPs without nucleation of new particle cores during precipitation. The second novel particle type are magnetic multicore nanoparticles, which consist of single cores of approximately 10 nm forming dense clusters in the size range from 40 to 80 nm. Their highest potential features these multicore particles in hyperthermia application. In our

AbstractIn this era, nanotechnology is gaining enormous popularity due to its ability to reduce metals, metalloids and metal oxides into their nanosize, which essentially alter their physical, chemical, and optical properties. Zinc oxide nanoparticle is one of the most important semiconductor metal oxides with diverse applications in the field of material science. However, several factors, such as pH of the reaction mixture, calcination temperature, reaction time, stirring speed, nature of capping agents, and concentration of metal precursors, greatly affect the properties of the zinc oxide nanoparticles and their applications. This review focuses on the influence of the synthesis parameters on the morphology, mineralogical phase, textural properties, microstructures, and size of the zinc oxide nanoparticles. In addition, the review also examined the application of zinc oxides as nanoadsorbent for the removal of heavy metals from wastewater.

Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) have a history of clinical use as contrast agents in T2 weighted MRI, though relatively low T2 relaxivity has caused them to fall out of favor as new faster MRI techniques have gained prominence.
