Aptasensors for Food Safety

Bol

This reference book covers the classification, synthesis, characterization, and applications of aptamers in the food industry. It discusses the development and applications of aptasensors to detect chemical and microbial contaminants like heavy metals, pesticide residues, and veterinary drug residues. It includes food safety and quality. This reference book provides updated knowledge on fundamentals and applications of aptasensors in food science. It discusses aptamer selection strategies including Systematic Evolution of Ligands through EXponential enrichment (SELEX), Capture SELEX, Cell SELEX, and GO SELEX strategies for aptasensor design involving well-studied and newly emerged nanomaterials, food analysis focusing on its safety, aptasensing techniques relevant to detection of food pathogens, pesticides, veterinary drug residues, toxins, heavy metals, allergens, and future perspectives of aptamers in food science and technology. The book focuses on recent developments in aptasensors and their use in detection of contaminants in food. The book is an excellent resource for R&D organizations dedicated to the development of biosensors in general and aptasensors in particular for the detection of environmental contaminants in the food supply chain. Also, the contents of the book will be useful to researchers, postgraduate students, analytical chemists, food scientists, and regulatory authorities.
