“…One of the most studied routes is using plant extracts as reducing agents and surface stabilizers. Different plant parts have already been used such as fruits [ 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 ], roots [ 26 , 37 , 38 ], peels [ 24 , 39 ], seeds [ 40 , 41 ], leaves [ 22 , 42 , 43 , 44 ], and flowers [ 45 ]. In a bottom–up method, the nanostructure control can be achieved through multiple factors such as pressure, temperature, and the concentration of reagents, among others [ 46 ].…”

“…In this context, it is possible to study a safe range of NM concentrations for their use without causing any health concerns and implications. Their use has been tested in catheters, bone prostheses, cardiovascular implants, and hospital textiles [ 24 , 26 , 100 ]. The main risk to the environment arises from the disposal of these NMs, whereas the health risk originates from their direct administration.…”

Nanotechnology remains under continuous development. The unique, fascinating, and tunable properties of nanomaterials make them interesting for diverse applications in different fields such as medicine, agriculture, and remediation. However, knowledge about the risks associated with nanomaterials is still poorly known and presents variable results. Furthermore, the interaction of nanomaterials with biological systems and the environment still needs to be clarified. Moreover, some issues such as toxicity, bioaccumulation, and physicochemical transformations are found to be dependent on several factors such as size, capping agent, and shape, making the comparisons even more complex. This review presents a comprehensive discussion about the consequences of the use and development of nanomaterials regarding their potential risks to the environment as well as human and animal health. For this purpose, we reviewed the entire production chain from manufacturing, product development, applications, and even product disposal to raise the important implications at each stage. In addition, we present the recent developments in terms of risk management and the recycling of nanomaterials. Furthermore, the advances and limitations in the legislation and characterization of nanomaterials are also discussed.

This study aimed to synthesize silver nanoparticles with sophorolipids (AgNP‐SL) and develop starch nanocomposite films with improved properties to be explored in food packaging applications. AgNP‐SL were spherical and highly stable, with an average size of 61.46 nm. They also demonstrated potent antibacterial action against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, revealing its promising application for antimicrobial packaging. The addition of AgNP‐SL into films resulted in color changes, which could contribute to a better UV‐barrier capacity. Nanoparticles and tartaric acid incorporation resulted in a heterogeneous matrix, suggesting chemical interactions between the compounds and the biopolymer. The nanocomposite films presented thermal stability, enhanced flexibility, and antimicrobial action against E. coli, Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis, and S. aureus. The combination of AgNP‐SL and tartaric acid resulted in pronounced bactericidal properties. The results demonstrate the great potential of these nanocomposite films as an effective packaging material against foodborne pathogens.
