This reference book provides updated knowledge on fundamentals and applications of aptasensors

in food science. It discusses aptamer selection strategies including Systematic Evolution of Ligands

through EXponential enrichment (SELEX), Capture SELEX, Cell SELEX, and GO SELEX strategies

for aptasensor design involving well-studied and newly emerged nanomaterials, food analysis

focusing on its safety, aptasensing techniques relevant to detection of food pathogens, pesticides,

veterinary drug residues, toxins, heavy metals, allergens, and future perspectives of aptamers in

food science and technology. The book focuses on recent developments in aptasensors and their use

in detection of contaminants in food. The book is an excellent resource for R&D organizations

dedicated to the development of biosensors in general and aptasensors in particular for the detection

of environmental contaminants in the food supply chain. Also, the contents of the book will

be useful to researchers, postgraduate students, analytical chemists, food scientists, and regulatory

authorities.
