Studies from Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences Describe New Findings in Food Safety (Functional Porous Material-based Sensors for Food Safety).

A report from the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences discusses the development of functional porous material-based sensors for food safety. The researchers highlight the need for reliable sensors to accurately detect food contaminants at all stages of the food supply chain. Functional porous materials, with their high surface area and adjustable pore size, are seen as promising candidates for sensing and adsorption in food safety applications. The report summarizes the application of these materials in optical and electrical sensors, as well as the challenges and opportunities in developing food safety sensors based on functional porous materials.
