Aptasensors for Food Safety

"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, GO CELEX, strategies for aptasensor design involving well studied and newly emerged nanomaterials, food analysis focussing on its safety, aptasensing techniques relevant to detection of food pathogen, pesticides, veterinary drug residues, toxins, heavy metals, allergens and future perspectives of aptamers in food science & technology. The book focusses on recent developments in aptasensor and its use in detection of contaminants in food. The book is excellent resource for R & D organizations dedicated to development of biosensor in general and aptasensor in particular for detection of environmental contaminants in food supply chain. Also, contents of the book will be useful to researchers, postgraduate students, analytical chemists, food scientists and regulatory authorities"--
