Recent advances of amino acid-based biosensors for the efficient food and water contamination detection in food samples and environmental resources: A technical and analytical overview towards advanced nanomaterials and biological receptor
Abstract:
Nowadays, our societies are entangled with numerous problems more and more. One of them is food safety, which has a direct relationship with public health. Indeed, food contaminations have been categorized as some important groups including bacteria, viruses, heavy metals, toxins, pesticides, food colorants and so forth. Over the last two decades, several researchers have attempted to develop sensing approaches for these contaminations. On the other hand, conventional techniques suffer from expansivity, sensitivity and selectivity. Therefore, the advancement of technology introduces a novel analytical method called bio(sensors) which provides a multi-domain sensing platform. Elaborately, the presence of different nanomaterials such as carbon-based, silica-based and metallic-based nanomaterials has revolutionized in terms of improving the properties of these analytical approaches. More importantly, poly(amino acids) as biocomposites have attracted considerable attention over the last few years. In addition, the integration of these biocomposites with nanomaterials brings about a brilliant probe for the detection of food contaminations. In this regard, in this review, we summarized recent advances in bio(sensors) based on poly(amino acids) for quantification of various food contaminations, and alongside that, the pros and cons of electrochemical and optical bio(sensor) as two major types of these analytical methods discussed.
