The report discusses the development of carboxymethylated cashew gum (CG) as a base for attaching antibodies to create a biosensor for detecting bacteria.
The CG was modified to form carboxymethyl cashew gum (CMCG), which was successfully used to immobilize antibodies on a gold surface through a voltage-controlled process.
The resulting biosensor showed effective detection of Salmonella Typhimurium, demonstrating its potential for rapid and efficient bacterial identification.
