We can create a desired compound or material from a given feedstock (plant or animal origin) by what is called bioprocessing. Nanobioprocessing increases the efficiency of bioprocessing. molecular probes and devices that allow rapid identification of microbes can increase the efficiency of bioprocessing. Other applications might be the combination of nanoscale devices with catalytic domains to achieve in-vitro catalysis. Similarly detection of very small amounts of a chemical contaminant, virus, or bacteria in agricultural and food systems can be done by the integration of chemical, physical and biological devices working together as an integrated sensor at the nanoscale.
