“…Despite many recent advances in food safety and quality, there is still an existential challenge and, therefore, a gap for novel opportunities in which the current technologies available can be improved in order to have versatile, fast, simple, portable, robust and multivariate levels of detection of food contaminants and different analytes matrices [23]. Therefore, after the individualized study of the 14 bacteria, it is possible to verify that despite the values of each factor considered-temperature, pH and water activity-having different minimum, maximum and optimal values, as well as different maximum values of µ max , between bacteria, they can be put together in groups defined by their growth curve relation of these 4 parameters.…”

Currently, we assist the emergence of sensors and low-cost information and communication technologies applied to food products, in order to improve food safety and quality along the food chain. Thus, it is relevant to implement predictive mathematical modeling tools in order to predict changes in the food quality and allow decision-making for expiration dates. To perform that, the Baranyi and Roberts model and the online tool Combined Database for Predictive Microbiology (Combase) were used to determine the factors that define the growth of different bacteria. These factors applied to the equation that determines the maximum specific growth rate establish a relation between the bacterial growth and the intrinsic and extrinsic factors that define the bacteria environment. These models may be programmed in low-cost wireless biochemical sensor devices applied to packaging and food supply chains to promote food safety and quality through real time traceability.

“…This is how the magnetite NMB achieve its peroxidase like properties, and by this, has often been used as surrogate artificial enzyme in the food industry. The application of the material in food analysis has been extensively studied [15,26,64,81,82]. Other applications of the nano-enzyme have been reported for wastewater and effluents treatment from the food industry [73,[83][84][85].…”

Fungi and bacteria cause foodborne diseases and affect food security, which remains the main challenge of the global food industry. Nanomaterials-based enzyme (NMB) technologies play an important role in improving food security issues. This is possible since they can act quickly and efficiently on food substrates when used as biosensors to monitor and control the quality and shelf life of food. This chapter deals primarily with the applications of NMB in the food industry. The production, properties, and applications of nano-enzymes of carbon, zinc oxide, magnetite, copper, and some noble metals in the food industry were discussed. It was suggested that the material could mimic catalytic activities and compete with other naturally occurring enzymes, such as hydrolase and oxidoreductase in foods. It is hoped that this chapter will provide key insights into NMB technologies applied in the food industry.

“…Concerning the food industry, biosensors can be extremely helpful by preventing food fraud (e.g., adulteration, substitution, dilution) and contamination. For example, rapid, inexpensive, and portable devices that alert in response to contamination and immediately stop the distribution or sales process can effectively protect consumers from health complications and the industry from economic loss [ 5 ]. The use of biosensors to prevent labelling errors in fish species illustrates their usefulness in protecting against food fraud, as such errors can reach levels in the range of 70% in the European Economic Area [ 6 ], 40% in Ireland, and 11% in the United Kingdom [ 7 ], 20% in Canada [ 8 ], and 6% in the European Union (EU) [ 9 ].…”

Emerging and recurrent outbreaks caused by zoonotic agents pose a public health risk. They result in morbidity and mortality in humans and significant losses in the livestock and food industries. This highlights the need for rapid surveillance methods. Despite the high reliability of conventional pathogen detection methods, they have high detection limits and are time-consuming and not suitable for on-site analysis. Furthermore, the unpredictable spread of zoonotic infections due to a complex combination of risk factors urges the development of innovative technologies to overcome current limitations in early warning and detection. Biosensing, in particular, is highlighted here, as it offers rapid and cost-effective devices for use at the site of infection while increasing the sensitivity of detection. Portuguese research in biosensors for zoonotic pathogens is the focus of this review. This branch of research produces exciting and innovative devices for the study of the most widespread pathogenic bacteria. The studies presented here relate to the different classes of pathogens whose characteristics and routes of infection are also described. Many advances have been made in recent years, and Portuguese research teams have increased publications in this field. However, biosensing still needs to be extended to other pathogens, including potentially pandemic viruses. In addition, the use of biosensors as part of routine diagnostics in hospitals for humans, in animal infections for veterinary medicine, and food control has not yet been achieved. Therefore, a convergence of Portuguese efforts with global studies on biosensors to control emerging zoonotic diseases is foreseen for the future.
