Biosensor technologies for detecting microbiological foodborne hazards.
The convergence of molecular biology and miniaturized instrumentation has accelerated development of biosensors with the specifications necessary to support pathogen reduction and quality programs in the food supply. Advances in optoelectronics, thin layer deposition, and microfabrication have provided many options for achieving microbiological detection goals. Some promising technologies are reviewed.
