Biosensors used in the food industry

   Food safety is one of the most pressing issues directly related to ensuring public health and welfare in any state. The article is devoted to biosensors used in the food industry. Biosensors are devices used to analyze and diagnose substances by converting a biological response into a signal. Depending on the type of biomaterial, there are biosensors based on enzymes, microbial cells, tissue cultures, DNA, immunocomponents, and organelles. Biosensors and analytical procedures based on them have long gone beyond the scope of laboratory research and have occupied a stable niche in everyday practice. Biotechnology, food industry, medicine, ecology – this is not a complete list of possible areas of their application for civilian purposes. Potentially, biosensors are capable of performing sensitive and specific detection of harmful effects, which in general determines the prospects for the development of this direction. An analysis of various detection methods, parameters and types of the described biosensors and the possibility of their practical use are given in the review.
