Implication

Review demonstrates rapid contaminant detection across diverse food matrices, indicating strong potential for real-time, field-deployable food safety monitoring.

Key Points

Critically evaluate advances in biosensor technologies for detecting food adulteration and contamination, their integration into smart packaging, and their convergence with digital sensing networks.
Reviewed literature on electrochemical, optical, and piezoelectric biosensors used across various food matrices including meat, milk, seafood, cereals, and oils.
Evaluated mechanisms for on-package sensing and integration with smartphones, machine learning, and the Internet of Things (IoT).
Analyzed implementation barriers such as matrix interference, sensor stability, regulatory pathways, and commercialization readiness.
Electrochemical, optical, and piezoelectric biosensors achieve sub-colony-forming unit (CFU) pathogen detection and parts-per-billion (ppb) chemical contaminant quantification.
Smart packaging solutions, including pH-responsive films and colorimetric indicators, enable non-destructive, real-time freshness tracking outside laboratory settings.
Commercial implementation remains limited by complex food matrix effects, long-term sensor stability challenges, and lack of standardized regulatory frameworks.
