MUMBAI, India, Jan. 23 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641001903 A) filed by National Institute Of Food Technology, Entrepreneurship And Management, Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu, on Jan. 7, for 'a biosensor and method for acrylamide detection in fried foods using green-synthesized silver nanoparticles.'

Inventor(s) include Dr. S Shanmugasundaram; Er. Sruthi P. S; and Er. Ashok Suraj B S.

The application for the patent was published on Jan. 23, under issue no. 04/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present disclosure proposes a biosensor (100) and a method for detecting acrylamide in thermally processed food samples using green-synthesized silver nanoparticles derived from Azadirachta indica leaf extract and hemoglobin immobilized on a screen-printed glassy carbon electrode with differential pulse voltammetry for rapid and environmentally sustainable acrylamide quantification. The biosensor (100) comprises a screen-printed glassy carbon working electrode (102), a nanoparticle-based conductive layer (104), and a biorecognition layer (106). The biosensor (100) is applicable for acrylamide detection in fried food samples such as banana chips and potato chips, as disclosed. The biosensor (100) serves as an alternative to conventional chromatographic techniques for acrylamide analysis in food samples."
