The importance of water in all biological processes is undeniable. Ensuring access to clean and safe drinking water is crucial for maintaining sustainable water resources. To elaborate, the consumption of water of inadequate quality can have a repercussion on human health. Furthermore, according to the instability of tap water quality, the consumption rate of bottled water is increasing every day at the global level. Although most people believe bottled water is safe, it can also be contaminated by microbiological or chemical pollution, which can increase the risk of disease. Over the last decades, several conventional analytical tools applied to analyze the contamination of bottled water. On the other hand, some limitations restrict their application in this field. Therefore, biosensors, as emerging analytical method, attract tremendous attention for detection both microbial and chemical contamination of bottled water. Biosensors enjoy several facilities including selectivity, affordability, and sensitivity. In this review, the developed biosensors for analyzing contamination of bottled water were highlighted, as along with working strategies, pros and cons of studies. Challenges and prospects were also examined.
水在所有生物过程中的重要性是不可否认的。确保获得清洁和安全的饮用水对于维持可持续的水资源至关重要。具体而言，饮用水质量不达标会对人类健康产生影响。此外，由于自来水水质不稳定，瓶装水的全球消费水平每天都在上升。尽管大多数人认为瓶装水是安全的，但它也可能受到微生物或化学污染的污染，这会增加患病的风险。在过去几十年中，已经开发了几种常规分析工具来分析瓶装水的污染。另一方面，一些局限性限制了它们在该领域的应用。因此，生物传感器作为新兴的分析方法，因其能够检测瓶装水中的微生物和化学污染而受到极大关注。生物传感器具有选择性、经济性和灵敏度等优点。在本综述中，突出了用于分析瓶装水污染的生物传感器，以及它们的工作策略、研究的优缺点。还研究了挑战和前景。
