  Rapid Electrochemical Biosensor for Detecting Pathogenic E. coli in Licorice Extract
  Author(s): George Rubin*
  
  The safety and quality of food products are of paramount importance to public health. The presence of pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli (E. coli) poses a significant threat to consumable goods. This study presents the development of a rapid electrochemical biosensor designed for the effective detection of pathogenic E. coli in liquorice extract. Leveraging the principles of biorecognition and electrochemistry, the biosensor offers a sensitive and specific platform for the direct identification of E. coli within complex food matrices. The biosensor design involves functionalizing an electrode surface with specific antibodies that selectively bind to E. coli antigens. Upon E. coli binding, a measurable electrochemical signal is generated, allowing for quantitative analysis. The electrochemical biosensor not only reduces detection time compared to traditional culture-based met.. Read More»
