Food Biosensors

Biosensors are increasingly being used to replace traditional methods of analyte detection in the food industry. They offer a much quicker, more reliable and more versatile method for the detection of toxins, allergens, hormones, microorganisms, pesticides and other related compounds. This book, therefore, showcases the latest biosensor development in a single resource.

Covering all aspects of food biosensors, from how they function to the latest market applications, this book is essential reading for both new comers and experts in this field.
