Biosensors for Contaminants Monitoring in Food and Environment for Human and Environmental Health
摘要
The recent advancements in industries, the process of manufacturing of drugs and other pharmaceutical products, result in the release of certain hazardous substances that accumulate in the soilSoil, affecting food crops and ultimately affecting the quality of food. The presence of food and environmentalEnvironmental contaminants interferes with the human lifestyle, deteriorating health in adults and infants, as well as degrading the environmentEnvironment and disturbing its ecological balance. The overall detection and assessment of such pollutantsPollutants is crucial in ensuring human safety and preserving biological stability. BiosensorsBiosensor are compact and highly equipped analytical tools for the detection of such contaminants by incorporating a biorecognition component, such as antibodiesAntibodies or enzymesEnzymes, with the transducerTransducer, assisting in the identification of pathogens, toxic pollutantsPollutants, and food contaminants. These devices deliver instant analysis, value-driven and high-resolution assessments, providing a major edge over the use of conventional detection methods. Through the advancements in biosensorBiosensor design and spectral analysis, it has contributed to early detection and mitigation of harmful pollutantsPollutants. BiosensorsBiosensor hold a wide range of applications inMonitoring waterWater monitoringWater monitoring, the detection of various food allergensFood allergens, traces of air pollutantsPollutants, and the proactive intervention of environmentalEnvironmental pollutantsPollutants. Researchers can seamlessly incorporate biosensorsBiosensor in the detection of food and water-borne pathogens and environmentalEnvironmental contaminants, due to their improved sensitivity and selectivity. This article discusses the working of biosensorsBiosensor and their applications in the detection of food allergensFood allergens, waterWater, and environmentalEnvironmental pollutantsPollutants, leveraging their use in different bioprocessing industries worldwide.
