| Description | The state of the art in the development and applications of bioelectronic tongues (BET) is critically reviewed with focus on food and beverages control and characterization. Within the last decade, enzymes represent the most common biorecognition element for BETs; the choice is rather limited and includes only well-known and robust enzymes specific to sugars (glucose oxidase, cellobiose dehydrogenase, fructose dehydrogenase), phenolic substances (tyrosinase, laccase), and pesticides (cholinesterases). Most reports focused on the analysis of wine, beer and fruit juices, milk and dairy products and olive oil. These products are classified in order to detect undesired adulterations and confirm the claimed composition. The highest potential for future is seen in the early detection of food spoilage and microbial contamination. |
