This review summarizes recent research and development of nanosensors applied to the food safety. Since the food safety is directly related to the people's health and life, the food detection has received considerable attentions. However, this food security has emerged in China as a severe problem in recent years. Food safety problems frequently compromised due to formaldehyde, poison vegetables, excessive pesticide residues, etc. These kinds of food contaminations could not be detected efficiently by traditional methods. Applying nanotechnology and nanominerals, various food contaminations can be identified accurately. Therefore nanosensors have been widely used in the food detection. We introduce current research on nanosensors followed by the industrial application of nanosensors. Finally, the challenges for the future food safety using nanosensors are discussed.
本综述总结了应用于食品安全的纳米传感器的最新研究与发展。由于食品安全直接关系到人们的健康和生活，食品检测受到了广泛关注。然而，近年来食品安全在中国已成为一个严峻问题。食品安全问题经常因甲醛、毒蔬菜、农药残留超标等而受到损害。这些食品污染无法通过传统方法有效检测。应用纳米技术和纳米矿物，可以准确识别各种食品污染。因此，纳米传感器已广泛应用于食品检测。我们先介绍纳米传感器的当前研究，接着介绍纳米传感器的工业应用。最后，讨论了使用纳米传感器应对未来食品安全的挑战。
