Electrochemical biosensors for food bioprocess monitoring

During the last years, the use of biosensors in food analysis has gained considerable interest. These analytical devices provide highly selective, sensitive and cost-effective detection of cells, chemical or biochemical compounds that are relevant for food industry. In special, such sensors can be employed to control and monitoring biotechnological processes for food production and transformation. This review provides an overview on the state-of-the-art of electrochemical biosensors with potential use in food bioprocess technology, focusing on those with potential application in fermentation productions.
