Abstract EN
The exponentially growing population, with limited resources, has exerted an intense pressure on the agriculture sector.
In order to achieve high productivity the use of pesticide has increased up to many folds.
These pesticides contain organophosphorus (OP) toxic compounds which interfere with the proper functioning of enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and finally affect the central nervous system (CNS).
So, there is a need for routine, continuous, on spot detection of OP compounds which are the main limitations associated with conventional analytical methods.
AChE based enzymatic biosensors have been reported by researchers as the most promising tool for analysis of pesticide level to control toxicity and for environment conservation.
The present review summarises AChE based biosensors by discussing their characteristic features in terms of fabrication, detection limit, linearity range, time of incubation, and storage stability.
Use of nanoparticles in recently reported fabrication strategies has improved the efficiency of biosensors to a great extent making them more reliable and robust.
