Abstract(s)
Nanoparticles have become a new interdisciplinary frontier between chemical, physical, biological and material sciences. The high and broad applicability potential of nanomaterials may be attributed to their unique physical and chemical properties, which allow achieving enhanced detection sensitivity and selectivity capabilities. Nanoparticles are incorporated into different based sensors platforms (e.g., optical and electrochemical), which clearly benefit from the availability of a wide variety of core and nanomaterials. The increasing interest in nanomaterials may foresee the development of user-friendly lab-on-chip portable devices for screening purposes in different fields. This review surveys some of the most recent emerging nanoparticles-based screening systems, highlighting the recent trends and challenges toward their practical applications within the food science and technology field, contributing to point out possible future research directions.
