Recent Progress of Electrochemical Aptasensors toward AFB1 Detection (2018-2023).

Food contaminants represent possible threats to humans and animals as severe food safety hazards. Prolonged exposure to contaminated food often leads to chronic diseases such as cancer, kidney or liver failure, immunosuppression, or genotoxicity. Aflatoxins are naturally produced by strains of the fungi species , which is one of the most critical and poisonous food contaminants worldwide.

Electrochemically assisted DNA and thioaromatic assembly as sensing and antifouling interface for food allergens.

Food allergies have become a global issue and are estimated to affect approximately 220 million people worldwide. Allergy to peanuts can easily become life-threatening and induce anaphylactic reactions. Mislabeling and cross-contamination during food processing can occur in the frame of world population growth and pose a serious health issue.
