About this Research Topic
Detecting food origin, quality, and fraud is a critical aspect of the food industry, and various analytical techniques and technologies are used to ensure the safety and quality of food products. Advanced biosensor technology has emerged as a promising tool for detecting food origin, quality, and fraudulent activity, offering fast, accurate, and cost-effective solutions for food analysis. The development of biosensors for food analysis has the potential to revolutionize the food industry by providing real-time monitoring of food quality and safety throughout the entire supply chain, from farm to table.
This Research Topic is aimed at researchers, academics, and industry professionals working in the areas of food science, biosensors, analytical chemistry, and food safety. Our goal is to provide a platform for sharing the latest research and innovations in the field, as well as identifying future directions and challenges for biosensor development in the food industry, contributing to the development of a safer and more reliable food supply chain for consumers around the world.
This Research Topic aims to showcase the latest research and advancements in the development of biosensors for food analysis, and welcomes original research, case reports, and reviews, covering, but not limited to, the following sub-themes:
• Novel biosensor technologies for detecting food origin, quality, and fraud, including optical, electrochemical, and nanomaterial-based biosensors.
• Biosensors for the detection of food adulteration, such as the use of immunoassays and DNA-based biosensors.
• Applications of biosensors in the detection of specific food contaminants, such as pesticides, mycotoxins, heavy metals, and allergens.
• Integration of biosensors with other analytical techniques, such as mass spectrometry and chromatography, for comprehensive food analysis.
• Development of biosensors for rapid and on-site detection of food quality and fraud, with potential for commercialization.
• Challenges and opportunities in the use of biosensors for food analysis, including standardization, regulatory frameworks, and industry adoption.
