Abstract
Cutting-edge advancements in sensing technologies have positioned molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) as a transformative material for detecting contaminants in food samples. Leveraging its exceptional electrical, optical, and catalytic properties, MoS2-based sensing platforms have demonstrated remarkable potential in identifying a wide range of foodborne hazards, including pathogens, pesticides, and allergens. This review explores the latest developments in MoS2-enabled sensing systems, emphasizing their ability to synergistically combine electrochemical sensitivity and optical responsiveness for unparalleled detection accuracy and efficiency. The unique two-dimensional structure of MoS2, with its high surface area and tunable properties, enhances sensor specificity and sensitivity, enabling rapid and reliable contaminant detection in complex food matrices. While challenges such as long-term stability, scalability, and signal interference remain, emerging strategies like hybrid nanocomposite engineering and machine learning-assisted data analysis offer promising solutions. This review underlines the transformative potential of MoS2-based sensing platforms in revolutionizing food safety monitoring, ensuring public health protection, and paving the way for sustainable and cost-effective detection technologies.
