Article Abstract
Electrochemical biosensors are revolutionizing food testing by addressing critical limitations of conventional strategies that suffer from cost, complexity, and field-deployment challenges. Emerging fluorescence and Raman techniques, while promising, face intrinsic drawbacks like photobleaching and matrix interference in opaque or heterogeneous samples. In contrast, electrochemical biosensors leverage electrical signals to bypass optical constraints, enabling rapid, cost-effective, and pretreatment-free analysis of turbid food matrices. This review highlights their operational mechanisms, emphasizing nano-enhanced signal amplification (e.g., Au nanoparticles and graphene) and biorecognition elements (antibodies, aptamers, and molecularly imprinted polymers) for ultrasensitive assay of contaminants, additives, and adulterants. By integrating portability, scalability, and real-time capabilities, electrochemical biosensors align with global food safety regulations and sustainability goals. Challenges in standardization, multiplexed analysis, and long-term stability are discussed, alongside future directions toward AI-driven analytics, biodegradable sensors, and blockchain-enabled traceability, ultimately fostering precision-driven, next-generation food safety and quality testing.

Electroactive bacteria (EAB) hold great promise for the development of electrochemical biosensors given their unique ability to transfer electrons extracellularly via specialized pathways, a process termed extracellular electron transfer (EET). Ongoing research aims to overcome current limitations and fully harness the potential of EABs for high-performance biosensing applications. Herein, we report the fabrication of an electrochemical microsensor based on biomineralized electroactive bacteria, specifically MR-1.

A sensitive electrochemical glucose biosensor using ZrO₂@CNTs nanocomposite was developed for real-time metabolism monitoring for athletes. The nanocomposite was prepared by a simple ultrasound-assisted technique, and the glucose oxidase (GOx) was covalently immobilized to improve the biorecognition ability. CNTs treated with acid served as a highly conductive framework, and ZrO₂ nanoparticles can provide structural stability and catalytic performance, thus showing synergistic enhancement of electron transfer kinetics and enzyme loading capacity.

Despite the promise of electrochemical biosensors in amplified nucleic acid diagnostics, existing high-sensitivity platforms often rely on a multilayer surface assembly and cascade amplification confined to the electrode interface. These stepwise strategies suffer from inefficient enzyme activity, poor mass transport, and inconsistent probe orientation, which compromise the amplification efficiency, reproducibility, and practical applicability. To address these limitations, we report a programmable dual-phase electrochemical biosensing system that decouples amplification from signal transduction.
