Advances in Food Biosensors
Shraddha Sahu
Abstract
With the advancements in food industry, in recent years the food industry has been dominated by the use of a wide array of biosensors. The diversifying applications of biosensors in various sectors including environment, clinical diagnostics, drug development, food processing, quality control and safety standards has proved it to be an important tool in several industries (Bănică, and Gabriel, 2012). Biosensorsare analytical devices destined for detecting chemical substances or biological entities bycombining a biological component with a physicochemical detector. The biological component used in biosensors may be an enzyme, an antibody, a nucleic acid, or any other biologically derived material which interacts with the target molecule. This interaction is then transformed by a transducer into a measurable signal, such as optical, electrochemical, or electronic, allowing for the detection and quantification of the target molecule. In the food industry, they are used to analyze nutrients, detect toxins, monitor food processing, and ensure food safety and quality. The continuous technical advancements in biosensors have led to improved efficiency and cost-effectiveness in various analytical applications (Bankole et al, 2022).
