Cellulose Based Biosensors for Food Quality Evaluation and Health Monitoring
摘要
Biosensors are emerging nowadays because of their significance in various biotechnological sectors. These play a crucial role in early diagnosis of diseases and to provide a regular monitoring of the progress of the status of curing. Advantages of cellulose biosensors include biocompatibility, ease of immobilization, quick response, and precision. Many cellulose derivatives, including carboxymethyl cellulose, cellulose acetate, cellulose nitrate, hydroxyethyl cellulose, methylcellulose, and hydroxy methylcellulose have been applied in sensing applications.
