New Technology from IASST to Detect Carcinogenic Compounds
Scientists at the Institute of Advanced Study in Science and Technology-Guwahati have developed an electrochemical sensing platform for detecting carcinogenic or mutagenic compounds in food.
The Technology
- Changing food habits in India, particularly that of the urban population, has exposed people to harmful chemicals belonging to Nitrosamine family, particularly, N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) and N-nitrosodiethanolamine (NDEA) found in food items like cured meat, bacon, some cheese, fish, and low-fat milk.
- NDMA and NDEA are often found to alter the chemical composition of our DNA, resulting in genetic mutations and a variety of cancers.
- In the current research, the scientists fabricated an electrochemical biosensor (sensing ....
