Abstract

Food safety is a multifaceted term and also a predominant element in food and beverage industries. It ensures safe handling, storage, and preparation of food and drinks to prevent food-related illness and diseases. The worldwide significance of food safety is continuously growing. With the advent of new technologies, innovative methods are being developed for the identification, assessment, and monitoring of the foodborne hazards. Great technological advances are being made for the development of electronic nose (e-nose) and electronic tongue (E-tongue)-based sensors for food safety.
