              Abstract 
 
              A paramount and alluring sphere of 
              research, now-a-days, is food analysis, because of the breakneck 
              augmentation of food enterprise and highly hightened 
              maneuverability of today's populations. The management of food 
              quality is very indispensable both for consumer safeguard as well 
              as the food corporations. The biosensors' application in the field 
              of food analysis is quite propitious for the revealing of food 
              borne pathogens. Biosensor, an analytical device, transforms a 
              biological response into an electrical signal. Bioreceptors and 
              transducers are the two main components of a biosensor. 
              Bioreceptor or biorecognition element is the one which leads to 
              the recognition of target analyte and a transducer, for the 
              conversion of recognized event into a measurable electrical 
              signal. The development of biosensors improved the sensitivity and 
              selectivity of detection techniques for food borne pathogens and 
              is rapid, reliable, effective and highly suitable when used in in 
              situ analysis. Since the security in the food supply becomes 
              crucial because of increased perception among consumers and vying 
              nature of food industries, the necessity for expeditious, low 
              volume and sensitive biosensor devices has productively increased. 
              Nevertheless, till date, a very few biosensor systems are 
              available commercially such as Biacore, SpreetaTM, Reichert SR 
              7000, Analyte 2000, RAPTOR etc. Since, there is ever growing 
              concern regarding safe food and water supply, it is very obvious 
              that the demand for rapid detecting biosensors will also be 
              increasing at par.Keywords: bioreceptor, biosensors, food borne pathogen, 
              transducer
