Aptasensors for Food Safety

<p>This reference book provides updated knowledge on fundamentals and applications of aptasensors</p><p>in food science. It discusses aptamer selection strategies including Systematic Evolution of Ligands</p><p>through EXponential enrichment (SELEX), Capture SELEX, Cell SELEX, and GO SELEX strategies</p><p>for aptasensor design involving well-studied and newly emerged nanomaterials, food analysis</p><p>focusing on its safety, aptasensing techniques relevant to detection of food pathogens, pesticides,</p><p>veterinary drug residues, toxins, heavy metals, allergens, and future perspectives of aptamers in</p><p>food science and technology.  The book focuses on recent developments in aptasensors and their use</p><p>in detection of contaminants in food.  The book is an excellent resource for R&D organizations</p><p>dedicated to the development of biosensors in general and aptasensors in particular for the detection</p><p>of environmental contaminants in the food supply chain.  Also, the contents of the book will</p><p>be useful to researchers, postgraduate students, analytical chemists, food scientists, and regulatory</p><p>authorities.</p><p> </p>
