Biologische sensoren herkennen beginnend bederf voedsel

Clemson University researchers are working to develop packages that would use communication between cells to detect food that’s beginning to spoil. This “intelligent” packaging would use sensors to detect biological processes – specifically, the signals cells send to each other when they start to break down.
This cell-to-cell communication, called quorum sensing, uses signaling molecules called autoinducers. Researchers Kay Cooksey and Claudia Ionita will identify autoinducers present in packaged foods and design a biosensor array that can monitor the development of microbes that can cause food spoilage (Persbericht Clemson University, 7 februari 2018).
