Abstract:
As the main factor leading to foodborne illnesses, foodborne pathogens have been attached great importance by people. The development of simple, rapid, high-sensitivity and low-cost food-borne pathogen detection methods is of great significance in reducing the incidence of foodborne diseases. Biosensor technology is a new micro-analysis technology developed by multi-disciplinary cross-infiltration. It has the characteristics of high sensitivity and fast analysis speed, and is widely used in the detection of food-borne pathogens. This paper introduces the basic principles of biosensors, summarizes the application of common biosensors in the detection of foodborne pathogens, and prospects for future development.
