Aptasensors for Food Safety

Know about the book -

Aptasensors for Food Safety is written by Raju Khan and published by CRC Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1040118607 (ISBN 10) and 9781040118603 (ISBN 13).

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