Abstract
Milk forms an essential dietary component owing to its nutritional value. The imprudent usage of antibiotics in animal husbandry leads to the excretion of antibiotics in animals’ milk, urine, and feces. Human consumption of contaminated milk causes antibiotic resistance in the microbial population, decreasing the efficiency of antimicrobial treatments. Monitoring the presence of antibiotics in milk is vital in controlling the spread of antibiotics. Biosensors have gained massive attention in past years due to superior sensitivity, specificity, and simplicity. Different types of biorecognition elements like antibody, aptamer, DNAzyme, and molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) are used to construct biosensors that detect antibiotics. Recent advancements in the design of biosensors led to the introduction of various types of nanomaterials (carbon nanomaterials, metal nanomaterials, quantum dots, and magnetic nanomaterials) as an approach to achieve better performance. Nanomaterials possess excellent electrical, optical, chemical, and mechanical properties. Thus, incorporating nanomaterials in the biosensors increases its sensitivity and selectivity while reducing its detection time towards a particular analyte. The past decades have reported a variety of biosensors utilizing different types of bioreceptors and nanomaterials for antibiotic detection in food samples. Consequently, the present review consolidates the recent developments in nanomaterial-based optical and electrochemical biosensors for antibiotic detection in milk.
