The multidisciplinary field of food sensor development is evolving rapidly. Prompt detection of food contaminants is vital for public health protection. Significant advances are taking place in the design and development of sensitive, affordable, and user-friendly sensors for food safety and security.

This book covers various recent advances in food sensor development, using illustrative descriptions of successful practical applications as well as identifying existing challenges and prospects. Compiling current progress in food quality sensors such as electrochemical sensors, nanocomposite sensors, aptamer based immunosensors, and microfluidic lab-on-a-chip devices, it fills a gap in the literature by laying down a framework for food sensor development from idea to implementation. With an emphasis on multidisciplinary aspects, the book appeals to students, academics, researchers and industry personnel from diverse backgrounds with an interest in food science and food quality assurance.
