Description: A fatty acid biosensor is an analytical device that allows for the detection and quantification of fatty acids in biological samples, such as blood, tissues, or food. These biosensors operate through the interaction of an analyte (in this case, fatty acids) with a biological component, such as enzymes, antibodies, or cells, generating a measurable signal. The main characteristic of these biosensors is their high specificity and sensitivity, making them valuable tools in health monitoring and food quality assessment. Additionally, their integration with Internet of Things (IoT) technologies enables real-time data transmission, facilitating continuous tracking of fatty acid levels. This is particularly relevant in health contexts, where monitoring fatty acids is crucial for the prevention of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. In the food sector, these biosensors can help ensure the quality and safety of products by detecting undesirable fat levels or contaminants. In summary, fatty acid biosensors represent an innovative intersection between biotechnology and digital technology, offering effective solutions for health monitoring and food quality assurance.
