title: Biosensors for food analysis.
abstract: Concerning speed, cost and on-line capabilities, biosensors offer attractive alternatives to existing methods for food analysis. They make monitoring and control of manufacturing processes possible. Furthermore, portable biosensors could be used for monitoring in manufacturing, retail and distribution of foods. An overview is given about existing biosensors for foodstuffs that could find applications in food industry.
