Abstract

Antioxidants are crucial in reducing oxidative stress and enhancing health, necessitating precise quantification in food matrices. Advanced techniques such as biosensors and nanosensors offer high sensitivity and specificity, enabling real-time monitoring and accurate antioxidant quantification in complex food systems. These technologies herald a new era in food analysis, improving food quality and safety through sophisticated detection methods. Their application facilitates comprehensive antioxidant profiling, driving innovation in food technology to meet the rising demand for nutritional optimization and food integrity. These are complemented by electrochemical techniques, spectroscopy, and chromatography. Electrochemical methods provide rapid response times, spectroscopy offers versatile chemical composition analysis, and chromatography excels in precise separation and quantification. Collectively, these methodologies establish a comprehensive framework for food analysis, essential for improving food quality, safety, and nutritional value. Future research should aim to refine these analytical methods, promising significant advancements in food and nutritional science.
