Preface

Food safety is usually a nonnegotiable attribute for consumers in their decisionmaking process as well as for manufacturers in the global trade. It is of great significance to detect the potential danger that may harm the quality of food to control and regulate food safety in an official and legal way. Contributed by the progress in analytical chemistry and molecular biology, types of methods appeared to fulfill the specific and sensitive detection. The applied detection methods have all been focused on target characteristic properties, varying in their physical, chemical, and biological activities. But there exists a fact that all these hazard exposures are related to a magic molecule – nucleic acid. Nucleic acids are the most important biological macromolecules, essential for all known forms of life; each is found in abundance in all living things, where they play a role in encoding, transmitting, and expressing genetic information. What genetic central dogma tells us is that information is conveyed through the nucleic acid sequence,
