| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The physical, chemical, molecular, and immunological methods are based on | metabolic activity, growth response, measurement of parts of cell |
| Father of Biosensor | Professor Leland C. Clark Jr |
| Biosensor | is an analytical device use to rapidly detect pathogens, allergens as well as pesticide residues in food. |
| biosensors converts a biological response into an ------- ----- | electrical signal |
| The key component of a biosensor is the | transducer |
| transducer makes use of a ------ change accompanying the reaction | physical |
| general working principle of biosensor type: Calorimetric biosensors | Heat output (or absorbed) by the reaction |
| general working principle of biosensor type: Electrochemical biosensors | Changes in electrical or electronic output |
| general working principle of biosensor type: Amperometric biosensors) | Redox reaction |
| general working principle of biosensor type: Optical biosensors | Light output or light absorbance difference between the reactants and products |
| general working principle of biosensor type: Piezo-electric biosensors) | Based on mass of the reactants or products |
| detects bacteria in food products; sensors detect changes in refractive indices when cell bind to receptor which are immobilized on the transducer. | Optical biosensor |
| 2 main parts of biosensor: | bioelement and transducer |
| TRUE OR FLASE: optical biosensor- It provides a rapid, efficient and alternative method for detecting foodborne pathogens to ensure the safety of RTE foods and can be used as stand-alone devices for on-site monitoring. | TRUE |
| In biosensor, cell, tissues, organelle, enzyme, antibody, and nucleic acids, are collectively called? | biolement |
| A simple, sensitive, and rapid chemiluminescent fiber-optic biosensor utilizing monoclonal antibodies to Staphylococcus aureus was developed to detect the pathogen in food. | Optical Biosensors with Membranes |
| the S. aureus cells were selectively labeled with a monoclonal ---------- ----- (POD) conjugate, collected by membrane filtration, and detected with a luminometer and an enhanced chemiluminescent luminol reagent. | horseradish peroxidase |
| the science of measuring components (cells) and the properties of individual cells in liquid suspension. | Flow cytometry |
| Fluidic devices under laminar flow define the trajectories and velocities that cells traverse the detector, and among the cell properties that can be detected are --------, -------, ------ | fluorescence, absorbance, and light scatter. |
| Is biosensor and flow cytometry are used for physical or chemical method for detection of microbes in food? | physical method |

| Chemical method for detection; for live cells; determination of microbial load on chicken carcasses as well as pork and beef | ATP assay |
| Chemical method for detection; aerobic and anaerobic microbial species that are of significance in foods, by measurement of 14CO2 evolved from the metabolism of 14Cglucose. | Radiometry |
| Chemical method for detection; to identify/differentiate microbial species or strains use substrates MUG | Fluorogenic/chromogenic substrate |
| DNAse produced by 95% of enterotoxigenic strains of S. aureus | thermostable nuclease |
| enzyme produced by 93% of enterotoxigenic strains of S. aureus | coagulase |
| Nature or properties of thermostable nuclease | heat-stable, detected faster, detectable in unconcentrated cultures of food specimen |
| about how many hours can we detect thermostabke nuclease than enterotoxin? | can be detected 3 hrs vs several days |

| Thermostable nuclease will withstand boiling for ? | 15 minutes |
| What s a measure of the heat resistance of a microorganism; It is the time in minutes at a given temperature required to destroy 1 log cycle (90%) of the target microorganism | D value |
| What protein The LimulusAmoebocyte lysate (LAL) test employ? | lysate protein |
| lysate protein is obtained from the blood (actually haemolymph) cells (amoebocytes) of the? | horseshoe crab (Limulus polyphemous). |
