Probiotics in medicine and methods with electrochemical detection

Abstract

Preventing diseases from diarrhea to cancer, probiotics are used on different food products. Electronic tongues (e-tongues) were developed for complex matrices as food products. These new methods combine electrochemical devices (amperometric, potentiometric, impedimetric) and have as additional advantages to be fast and convenient for field an in situ analysis, being used with good qualitative and (semi)quantitative results also in the place were food products are (at the manufactures, in stores, in storage places).
