The increased demand for consuming seafood has made seafood production undergo a rapid period of growth. However, seafood has a high risk of contamination from harmful microorganisms and marine toxins which can cause health problems for humans consuming it. Concerning this issue, monitoring seafood safety has become a center of attention for researchers, and developing effective methods for detecting contamination in seafood has become a critical research field. In this context, biosensors have served as a promising approach to monitor seafood contamination. Compared to conventional methods, biosensors have some key benefits such as high sensitivity, selectivity, portability, and user-friendly operation. Along with significant advances in biosensors, processes of seafood monitoring can be simplified and performed outside the laboratory. In this review article, we describe the mechanisms of two main types of biosensors regarding electrochemical and optical biosensors. The current reports within the last five years on the application of these biosensors for seafood monitoring are also summarized.

In mammals, Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) is involved in various physiological processes, and is considered a biomarker for multiple diseases. As a natural molecule found in marine organisms, TMAO is also an important indicator of seafood freshness. In this study, a TMAO biosensor was developed in harnessing TorRST two-component system.

Background: Foodborne pathogens, particularly Vibrio parahaemolyticus (VP) found in seafood, pose significant health risks, including abdominal pain, nausea, and even death. Rapid, accurate, and sensitive detection of these pathogens is crucial for food safety and public health. However, existing detection methods often require complex sample pretreatment, which limits their practical application.

Smart packaging, also known as intelligent packaging, is responsive to external stimuli, moisture, light, oxygen, heat, pH, and bacterial growth. In this study, polyvinyl alcohol/nanochitosan/phycocyanin nanocomposite (PVA/NCH/PC-NC) for fish fillets of Oncorhynchus mykiss rainbow trout coating was prepared. Five treatments were prepared over a period of 14 days (0, 1, 7 and 14 days) under treatments of T: fish coated with PVA/NCH-NC without PC; T, T T and T fish coated with PVA/NCH/PC-NC (0.

Electrochemical Magnetic Immunoassay for the Determination of the Fish Allergen β-Parvalbumin.

Biosensors (Basel)

December 2024

REQUIMTE/LAQV, Instituto Superior de Engenharia do Porto, Instituto Politécnico do Porto, Rua Dr. António Bernardino de Almeida 431, 4249-015 Porto, Portugal.

β-parvalbumin (β-PV) is the primary fish allergen responsible for most allergic reactions in individuals sensitive to fish. To ensure food safety, a sandwich-based magnetic immunoassay was developed using maleimide-functionalized magnetic beads (NH-MBs). Specific anti-β-PV antibodies were immobilized on these MBs, and a screen-printed carbon electrode was employed as the electrochemical transducer.
