Abstract
Background
Food safety as a critical topic of international concern has obtained increasing attention worldwide. Thus, it is of great significance to develop sensitive, accurate, and rapid detection methods for food safety analysis. In recent years, emerging nanozymes have become a promising alternative to natural enzymes for the development of biosensors to achieve food safety analysis due to their simpler preparation processes, more robust activity, higher stability, higher recycling efficiency, and lower cost compared with that of natural enzymes. To achieve portable and on-site detection, nanozyme-based biosensors have been successfully integrated with advanced microfluidic devices (e.g., microfluidic chips) for the construction of nanozyme-enabled microfluidic biosensors to realize the rapid detection of food contaminants.
Scope and approach
In this review, we summarized the latest advances on nanozyme-enabled microfluidic biosensors and their applications in the field of food safety analysis. Firstly, a comprehensive summary and discussion on the catalytic mechanisms and roles of nanozymes for the construction of biosensors were conducted. Then, attention was focused on the nanozyme-enabled microfluidic biosensors and their applications in the field of food safety analysis, including the detection of foodborne pathogens, mycotoxins, heavy metal ions, and pesticide residues. Impressively, the remaining challenges and chances in this significant and promising field were proposed.
Key findings and conclusions
Emerging nanozymes have been successfully combined with microfluidic technology, opening a new avenue for rapid, sensitive, and on-site food safety analysis.
期刊介绍:
