Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Electrochemical sensors are a class of chemical sensors in which an electrode is used as a transducer element in the presence of an analyte. Modern electrochemical sensors use several properties to detect various physical, chemical, or biological parameters. These devices, combined with chemometric tools, have experienced great advances in the past decades, being extensively used as useful alternative/complementary instruments to overcome the restrictions and limitations of traditional methods of analysis. High sensitivity and selectivity, quick response time, cost-effectiveness, and ease of application in situ/on-line are some advantages of electrochemical sensors which have great relevance for the food industry.

Electrochemical sensors and methods are developed as suitable tools for different applications, including bioprocess control, agriculture, the pharmaceutical industry, and, in particular, for food fields. Therefore, I invite manuscripts for this forthcoming Special Issue on all aspects pertinent to emerging trends and food applications of electrochemical sensors. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.

This Special Issue will focus on the application of electrochemical sensors in the food sector, including food and drink analysis, safety monitoring, authenticity, and technological process monitoring, among other applications in the field of food industry. New applications, challenges related to the electrochemical sensors approach, and future directions in the food area will also be well received for publication. 

I look forward to and welcome your participation in this Special Issue.

High levels of H2O2 in food can lead to oxidative stress. Which has been linked to a number of neurological diseases. Hence, its detection in beverages is essential. However, a complicated structure of the reaction medium of H2O2 makes the detection procedure very difficult. For this reason, sensitive strategic methods are required. In this study, quantification of H2O2 in milk and apple juice has been obtained via the electrochemical sensing platform based on GCE/SiO-CeONPs. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Cyclic voltammetry(CV), and electron impedance spectroscopy(EIS) were employed to characterize the composite. The kinetics investigation of the sensor with H2O2 revealed an a quasi-reversible one -electron adsorption process. Under optimized conditions, the Differential Pulse Voltammetry (DPV) in 0.1 M Phosphate buffer (PB) pH 5.5 of the H2O2 displayed a peak at 0.13 V vs. Ag/AgCl with the detection limits of 0.0004 µM, linearity range of 0.01–0.08 µM. The observed LOD values of this method for real samples were calculated to be 0.006 µM and 0.007 µM with LOQ of 0.02 µM for milk and apple juice, respectively. The recovery of the analyte was from 92 to 99%. Furthermore, due to good selectivity and stability, the benefit of this sensor is its applicability in multiple fields. Full article

Digital medicine based on the integration of all medical data from a particular patient has become a reality today, thanks to information technology. Traditional medical examinations can be supplemented by assessment results of the oxidative-anti-oxidative (OAO) status of the body. Electrochemical sensors are able to not only determine the integral indicators of the OAO system of the body but also to depict details of the processes occurring in the system. The main obstacle to the widespread use of electrochemical sensors in medical diagnostics is the extremely small amount of received information in comparison to the tens of thousands of known human diseases. The problem can be eliminated only by rethinking the purpose of electrochemical measurement within the framework of thermodynamics of information processes and information theory. In the information paradigm of electrochemical analysis of biological fluids, a sample is considered an electrochemical message created by a sensor. The purpose of electrochemical measurement is to obtain information in a volume sufficient to identify the sample composition within the range of possible concentrations of its components. The fundamentals of the thermodynamics of information processes are considered and conclusions that are of practical importance for the development of electrochemical sensors and analyzers are derived. It is shown that the potentiostatic control of the sensor is physically impacted by the electromechanical instability of the electrical double layer, which is the main source of sensor signal noise. Estimates of a minimum amount of analytical signal information required for the identification of a sample of known composition, such as a biological fluid, are provided. Examples of highly informative analytical signals for flowing and stationary samples are presented. Problems related to the visualization of such signals are noted. Full article
