Safe Meat, Smart Science: Biotechnology’s Role in Antibiotic Residue Removal

Antibiotics used to treat sick animals can leave residues in meat that contribute to dangerous antibiotic-resistant bacteria affecting human health. This review explores cutting-edge biotechnology solutions like rapid detection sensors, engineered enzymes, and bacterial viruses that can identify and eliminate these harmful residues. When combined with smarter antibiotic use on farms, these technologies offer practical ways to make meat safer and protect public health.

Biosensors Based on Phenol Oxidases (Laccase, Tyrosinase, and Their Mixture) for Estimating the Total Phenolic Index in Food-Related Samples

This review discusses specialized sensors that can quickly measure the total amount of beneficial plant compounds (phenolics) in foods like tea, wine, coffee, and fruits. These biosensors use enzymes from mushrooms and other sources to detect phenolic compounds more efficiently than traditional methods. The sensors can be made more effective by using tiny materials called nanomaterials, which improve how well they work and how long they last.

Universal Platform Based on Carbon Nanotubes Functionalised with Carboxylic Acid Groups for Multi-Analyte Enzymatic Biosensing

Scientists have created a tiny biosensor platform using carbon nanotubes that can detect multiple important molecules in blood and food simultaneously. The sensor uses special enzymes that recognize glucose, lactate, glutamate, and dopamine, making it useful for monitoring diabetes, fatigue levels, and brain chemistry. By adding another enzyme called catalase, the sensor works even better and across a wider range of concentrations. Tests on real blood and food samples show the sensor accurately measures these important biomarkers, making it potentially valuable for both health monitoring and food quality testing.

Research Progress of Polysaccharide-Gold Nanocomplexes in Drug Delivery

Scientists are combining polysaccharides (natural compounds found in plants and organisms) with tiny gold particles to create better drug delivery systems. These hybrid nanoparticles can transport medicines directly to cancer cells while reducing side effects and improving treatment effectiveness. The review discusses how these gold-polysaccharide combinations can also fight bacteria and viruses, making them useful for various medical applications beyond cancer therapy.
