ABSTRACT
There is an increasing need for analytical methods for the detection of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) detection in food due to the growth of use of GMOs, or their derivatives, in the food industry. This paper aims to briefly introduce the reader to GMOs, to describe the state of the art in detection methods for GMOs, and to provide the reader with the associated terminology, mainly borrowed from molecular biology. The main characteristics of GMO are illustrated and future developments using the biosensor approach for detection are presented.
