Resumen:
The goal of achieving food safety and quality has become increasingly important in relevantareas. The achievement of this objective includes a significant effort in different areas related to theproduction of raw materials, storage, transportation, etc. One of the central areas in the verification offood safety and food quality control is related to the analysis of food components and, in particular,possible toxic substances that they may contain. Therefore, the demand for appropriate methodsfor the determination of these substances is increasingly demanding. Thus, not only is accuracyand precision sought in the results of the analysis, but also the speed, simplicity and lowering ofcosts. In this way, electrochemical techniques and, particularly, electrochemical biosensors haveemerged in recent times as good candidates to satisfy such requirements. This review summarizesthe advances made in research and development centers located in South American countries relatedto the development of electrochemical biosensors for the determination of toxic substances present infoods, particularly mycotoxins and herbicides.
