Cover Story: In foods, high levels of biogenic amines (BA) are commonly used as an indicator of food safety and food quality. A large number of fermented foods are consumed in developing countries or marine areas, where access to laboratory techniques, resources, and certified facilities is limited. Thus, often, detection of BA is not regularly performed. In this study, a low-cost, disposable nanobiosensor was developed for measuring BA in food using locally sourced materials that can be obtained from markets in any major city. A comparative study was conducted between the biosensor and a similar device fabricated with analytical-grade materials. View the paper here.
