Biosensor system (lactate biosensor) is an efficient sensitive early warning system, which indicates a critical undesired bacterial spoilage during fruit juice production. The methodology was developed under the QUALI JUICE project. The good practice of the case is highlighted by the fact, that this type of biosensors are usually introduced when there is a risk of spoilage. The sensor helps to identify the need of a repeated pasteurization. The requirements and considerations for safe and hygienic production, handling and processing of fruit and vegetables into semiindustrial products destined for further processing and packaging are very high.
Biosensors contribute to the fact that food sources are managed in a way that ensures that contaminants are not present in the food and/or food ingredients to levels which would render end products potentially harmful to human health or unsuitable for human consumption
