Use of biosensor technology in analysing milk and dairy components: A review

Abstract

Biosensor technology is relatively new to the dairy industry although it has been used successfully elsewhere including medical devices. This review summarises biosensors with different combinations of biological receptors and transducers which were used to analyse components in milk. Quantification of individual milk proteins and specific detection of lactose were clearly demonstrated. Strain‐specific enumeration of pathogens were also reported along with analyses of raw milk quality parameters relevant for processing. The advantages of using biosensors were consistently shown across numerous studies. Biosensors provide rapid, simple and analyte‐specific techniques, offering unique solutions to support continued innovation in dairy products and processes.

Recent Advances in Dietary Sources, Health Benefits, Emerging Encapsulation Methods, Food Fortification, and New Sensor-Based Monitoring of Vitamin B12: A Critical Review

“…Biosensors also achieve high sensitivity and specificity, comparable to ELISA and HPLC, thanks to their use of specific receptors like antibodies or aptamers. Additionally, biosensors can detect multiple analytes simultaneously, require smaller sample volumes, and offer real-time monitoring capabilities [32,152,153]. Therefore, biosensing platforms are versatile tools for VB 12 assessment in diverse applications, from clinical diagnostics to nutritional research.…”

Material biologikoen integrazioa teknologian: biosentsoreak

“…Elikagaien industrian biosentsoreak lehengaien kalitatea eta prozesaketa kontrolatzeko (mariskoen freskotasuna determinatzeko, esnearen proteinak neurtzeko, eta abar), eta produktuen segurtasuna bermatzeko, hau da, konposatu kaltegarrien presentzia detektatzeko (patogenoak, alergenoak, biotoxinak eta abar detektatzeko) erabil daitezke [28,29,30]. Hainbat erabileratan, biosentsore konbentzionalen errendimendua hobetzeko "mingain elektronikoak" biosentsoreen matrizeetan txertatu dira, "mingain bioelektronikoak" (zapore-sentsoreak) sortuz [31].…”
