ABSTRACT
The food, healthcare, automotive, aerospace and consumer industries are the core industries supplying goods to fulfil daily life needs. Nanosensors for food industry are principally those used for detecting the presence of pathogenic bacteria and toxins in food products. Among these bacteria, mention may be made of Salmonella Typhimurium, Clostridium Perfringens, Campylobacter Jejuni and Yersinia Enterocolitica. The important toxins are Botulinum Neurotoxin Serotype A and Staphylococcal Enterotoxin B (SEB). Under the nanosensors for healthcare industry, devices for diagnosing cancer of different origins are discussed, namely, breast cancer, lung cancer, prostate cancer, gastric cancer, colorectal cancer and leukemia. The nanosensor list for infectious disease indicators comprises Hepatitis B, dengue, Japanese encephalitis, HIV, Zika and novel corona viruses along with Streptococcus Pneumoniae, acid-fast bacilli, S. Pyogenes and Plasmodium falciparum. Nanosensors described for automotive, aerospace and consumer industries include pressure/strain sensors, accelerometers, acoustic and ultrasound sensors, gyroscopes and magnetometers.
