Recent trends in the electroanalytical detection of food fraud

Abstract

Food fraud is a criminal act that has continuously increased in the recent years and represents an important issue to consumers' confidence, which encompass economic, social, health and religious aspects. Electrochemical sensors are a promising category of analytical techniques for food authenticity assessment due to their low cost, simplicity/ easiness-to-perform, sensitivity and sensibility in comparison to other consolidated assays. Herein, a background on the transduction mechanisms of potentiometric, amperometric and impedimetric sensors is provided in addition to some current applications on the authentication of food products.

Carbon-Based Nanocomposite Smart Sensors for the Rapid Detection of Mycotoxins

“…Therefore, the rapid analysis of mycotoxin development is becoming increasingly important. At present, the detection of mycotoxins by electrochemical technology is increasingly widespread [11][12][13].…”
