Abstract

Abstract
The protection of food safety has been a global concern, especially in light of potential future pandemics. Consequently, food safety issues have been increasingly emerging. Strategies for designing customer experience, such as customer listening strategies should be continuously enriched with innovations in products and services. Nonthermal technologies such as nanotechnology, cold plasma, and ozone applications can be considered and applied to ensure food safety. These are alternative methods for treating virus-contaminated food package surfaces. Electrochemical, optical biosensors, and a combination of nanomaterials, nanomaterials-integrated biosensing approach are promising for fast detection of future zoonotic viruses. These developments will lead to the detection of new zoonotic viruses or variants.

Gelecekteki pandemilere karşı gıda güvenliğinde teknolojik stratejiler

Abstract

Özet
Gıda güvenliğinin korunması, özellikle olası gelecekteki pandemiler ışığında küresel bir endişe haline gelmiştir. Sonuç olarak, gıda güvenliği sorunları giderek daha fazla ortaya çıkmaktadır. Müşteri dinleme stratejileri gibi müşteri deneyimini tasarlamak için stratejiler, ürün ve hizmetlerdeki yeniliklerle sürekli olarak zenginleştirilmelidir. Nanoteknoloji, soğuk plazma ve ozon uygulamaları gibi termal olmayan teknolojiler, gıda güvenliğini sağlamak için düşünülebilir ve uygulanabilir. Bunlar, virüs bulaşmış gıda ambalajı yüzeylerini tedavi etmek için alternatif yöntemlerdir. Elektrokimyasal, optik biyosensörler ve nanomalzemelerin kombinasyonu, nanomalzemelerle entegre biyosensör yaklaşımı, gelecekteki zoonotik virüslerin hızlı tespiti için umut vericidir. Bu gelişmeler, yeni zoonotik virüslerin veya varyantlarının tespitine yol açacaktır.
