Frontiers in conventional and nanomaterials based electrochemical sensing and biosensing approaches for Ochratoxin A analysis in foodstuffs: A review

State of the art: Lateral flow assays toward the point‐of‐care foodborne pathogenic bacteria detection in food samples

“…As a result, significant economic losses and serious public health problems can arise and foodborne infections caused by pathogenic bacteria have become a universal concern (Jung et al., 2020; S. Wang et al., 2020). Therefore, prompt detection of foodborne pathogens in preventing and controlling outbreaks of foodborne diseases is of great importance (Q. Chen et al., 2016; Khataee et al., 2021; Orooji et al., 2021).…”

Highly sensitive and specific assessment of ochratoxin A in herbal medicines via activator regeneration by electron transfer ATRP

“…Over the past decades, many methods have been used to detect OTA in herbal medicines, including high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), 11 thin layer chromatography (TLC) 12 and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). 13,14 Nevertheless, some drawbacks still exist, including low sensitivity, false positives, complicated operations and high costs. Recently, aptamer-based fluorescence biosensors have exhibited high sensitivity, fast response time, and low cost, thus being widely used in clinical medicine, chemical analysis, food hazard detection and other fields.…”

Electrochemiluminescence Immunosensor Based on Nanobody and Au/CaCO3 Synthesized Using Waste Eggshells for Ultrasensitive Detection of Ochratoxin A

“…Moreover, once OTA enters the food chain, it is quite difficult to remove due to its high thermal and chemical stabilities. 1 Numerous research studies have shown that OTA has diverse toxicities, including strong hepatotoxicity, renal toxicity, and carcinogenic and teratogenic effects, posing a serious threat to humans and animals. Therefore, International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified OTA as a human 2B carcinogen because of its potential toxicity.…”

“…It easily contaminates various food products, for instance, cereals, coffee beans, dried fruits, and spices around the world. Moreover, once OTA enters the food chain, it is quite difficult to remove due to its high thermal and chemical stabilities . Numerous research studies have shown that OTA has diverse toxicities, including strong hepatotoxicity, renal toxicity, and carcinogenic and teratogenic effects, posing a serious threat to humans and animals.…”
