Nanoaggregate-Based Innovative Electrochemiluminescence Sensors for Foodborne Contaminant Analysis

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The pervasive presence of foodborne contaminants in foods poses a significant global threat, contributing to various foodborne diseases and food safety issues. Therefore, developing rapid, sensitive, and universal detection methods for them is essential to ensure public health and food safety. Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensors, particularly those incorporating innovative nanoaggregates, have been widely used to detect related contaminant residues in foodstuffs owing to their superior sensitivity and low background signals. This review summarizes recent advances in nanoaggregate-based novel ECL sensors for detecting a wide range of contaminants, with emphasis on their fundamentals and representative applications. This area has not yet been comprehensively covered in the existing literature. The current challenges and emerging trends for next-generation ECL sensors based on nanoaggregates in food safety monitoring are also discussed.
