Abstract
Various contaminations caused by food contaminants such as pathogenic bacteria, heavy metal ions, mycotoxins, antibiotics and pesticides pose serious threats to food safety and human health. The frequent occurrence of food safety problems as a result of food contamination has become a concern for both consumers and the food industry. Many qualitative and quantitative detection methods have been developed to control and prevent food contamination problems. These methods include analysis methods such as Gas Chromatography (GC) and High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). However, due to the disadvantages of these methods such as being costly and complex, requiring skill, taking time, and pre-processing the samples, biosensor techniques have become more preferred methods in food contamination analysis in recent years compared to others. In this study, electrochemical biosensor applications developed for food contamination analysis in recent years have been investigated and various informations are given.
