ABSTRACT
The food industry needs suitable analytical methods for process and quality control; that is, methods that are rapid, reliable, specific and cost-effective in their provision of information about physical and chemical characteristics of food. Apart from a few important analytes, such as sugars, alcohols, amino acids, flavours and sweeteners, food applications mainly focus on the determination of contaminants. However, very few biosensors play a prominent role in food processing or quality control. Considerable effort must be made to develop biosensors that are inexpensive, reliable, and robust enough to operate under realistic conditions.
