  • Introduction: Food contaminants have always been a serious threat to human health. Therefore, researchers in recent years have been dedicated to the development of fast, reliable, sensitive and suitable detection techniques for the detection of food contaminants in food matrices. Arsenic, which is found naturally in the earth's crust, is one of the important factors that cause pollution, because of its high solubility in water and its tendency to bio accumulate in various environmental matrices, it is very toxic even at low levels.
  • Methods: In recent years, colorimetric methods, fluorescence methods, photo electrochemical methods, chemical methods, nucleic acid amplification methods, and other methods have been proposed for timely detection and prevention of human food contamination.
  • Results: Ultimately, we hope that recent strategies and advances will provide valuable insights to guide researchers in the sensitive detection of food contaminants and find a way to eliminate or control harmful bacterial biofilm formation.
  • Conclusion: Preventing various factors that can enter the food cycle and cause humans to be exposed to diseases, and providing methods for preventing the spread of contaminated food to humans and reducing various diseases, including cancer, liver toxicity, kidney failure, and disease become skin lesions in humans.
