Conclusion

Biosensors provide a promising approach for monitoring seafood contamination, offering advantages over conventional methods such as higher sensitivity and portability.

Supporting Evidence

  • Biosensors can detect harmful microorganisms and toxins in seafood, which is crucial for food safety.
  • Electrochemical and optical biosensors are highlighted as the most common types for seafood monitoring.
  • Biosensors offer advantages such as high sensitivity, selectivity, and user-friendly operation.

Takeaway

This study talks about special tools called biosensors that help check if seafood is safe to eat by finding harmful germs and toxins.

Methodology

The review summarizes mechanisms and applications of electrochemical and optical biosensors for seafood monitoring.

Limitations

The review notes that while biosensors are effective, they still have limitations that need to be addressed in future research.
