Recent advances in array-based detectors and imaging technologies
have provided high throughput systems that can operate within a
substantially reduced timeframe and other techniques that can
detect multiple contaminants at one time. These technologies are
revolutionary in terms of food safety assessment in manufacturing,
and will also have a significant impact on areas such as public
health and food defence. This book summarizes the latest research
and applications of sensor technologies for online and high
throughput screening of food. The book first introduces high
throughput screening strategies and technology platforms, and
discusses key issues in sample collection and preparation. The
subsequent chapters are then grouped into four sections: Part I
reviews biorecognition techniques; Part II covers the use of
optical biosensors and hyperspectral imaging in food safety
assessment; Part III focuses on electrochemical and mass-based
transducers; and finally Part IV deals with the application of
these safety assessment technologies in specific food products,
including meat and poultry, seafood, fruits and vegetables.
