3.8 Conclusion
Dairy food safety problems frequently are compromised due to antibiotic residues,
aflatoxin M1, pesticides, heavy metals, adulterants, microbial foodborne pathogens,
etc. These classes of milk and milk product contaminations could not be detected
efficiently by conventional methods due to the fact they require longer time for the
confirmation. These dairy products cannot be stored for the longer period of time
because there may be chances change of chemical nature of the products. Therefore,
dairy industries are under tremendous pressure to meet the consumer requirement
with quality and safety with in one working day. Therefore, the need of the hour is to
development of sensors with the use of nanomaterial in link with specific
biorecognition molecules. By the application of nanobiosensor with the use of
nanoparticles, various food contaminants including microbial pathogens can be
identified accurately. Therefore nanosensors have been widely used in the dairy
food quality and safety evaluation. Despite what could be regarded as a slow
adoption of nanosensor technology into the commercial space, nano-sensing is still
a growing field with many exciting possibilities for both the food industry and
regulatory authorities.
