Page 16: DNA Fingerprinting 1.How do we do it ? 2. What do we use it for?

1. Silver particles embedded in plastic reduce microbial growth

2. Food wrapping films that change colour e.g. when;

Antibodies react with bacteria in food

Nanoparticles react with oxygen – sign of damage

Ripening fruit release gases

Nanotechnology
