Selective Detection of Food Adulterants and Contaminants Using Carbon Nanotube based Electrochemical Sensors and Field Effect Transistors

Abstract

Food adulteration and contamination could cause genotoxicity, congenital disability, foetal mortality, neurotoxicity, and human neurodevelopmental issues. It has been estimated that chronic diseases and deaths from pesticide-contaminated food impact one million people per year worldwide. Among many chemical sensor strategies, single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) based electrochemical sensors and field-effect transistors have received significant attention for use in real-world technologies. Initially, we have prepared SWCNT-based non-enzymatic/enzymatic electrochemical sensors newline
