“…Food is the main vehicle for many illnesses because it is a nutritious substrate for pathogenic microbial agents, but this depends on the chemical composition of foods, as well as storage temperatures, exposure to air, oxygen levels, and handling processes [8].…”

“…According to da Silva Martins et al [8], among the population of pathogens that cause foodborne outbreaks, there are more than 200 types of illnesses that are known, and most of them are caused by bacteria. Foods like meat, dairy products, bakery products, eggs, and fish and crustaceans are among the main causes of illnesses when they are contaminated by microorganisms.…”

“…To understand the factors involved in these illnesses and their treatment, it is necessary to investigate the main aspects related to illness caused by food and its etiological agents. However, there are still several new challenges arising in investigations of emerging or re-emerging microorganisms that require detailed reporting of foodborne and waterborne outbreaks, which is crucial for illnesses control, prevention, and reporting [8].…”

Propolis has numerous biological properties and technological potential, but its low solubility in water makes its use quite difficult. With the advent of nanotechnology, better formulations with propolis, such as nanopropolis, can be achieved to improve its properties. Nanopropolis is a natural nanomaterial with several applications, including in the maintenance of food quality. Food safety is a global public health concern since food matrices are highly susceptible to contamination of various natures, leading to food loss and transmission of harmful foodborne illness. Due to their smaller size, propolis nanoparticles are more readily absorbed by the body and have higher antibacterial and antifungal activities than common propolis. This review aims to understand whether using propolis with nanotechnology can help preserve food and prevent foodborne illness. Nanotechnology applied to propolis formulations proved to be effective against pathogenic microorganisms of industrial interest, making it possible to solve problems of outbreaks that can occur through food.
