About

Maria N. Velasco-Garcia is a leading figure in the development of biosensor technologies for food quality and safety, with a particular focus on dairy analysis. Her pioneering work centers on the design and application of electrochemical and optical biosensors for the rapid, on-line detection of key milk constituents. Her most cited paper, "Automatic On-Line Analysis Of Milk Constituents (Urea, Ketones, Enzymes And Hormones) Using Biosensors" (2002, 39 citations), established a foundational framework for integrating biosensors into automated dairy processing systems, enabling real-time monitoring of critical biomarkers such as urea, ketones, and hormones. This contribution has had a lasting impact on the field, influencing subsequent research in precision agriculture and food quality control. Beyond this landmark study, Velasco-Garcia has advanced the use of nanomaterials and enzyme-based sensors to enhance sensitivity and selectivity in complex biological matrices. Her work is widely recognized for bridging the gap between laboratory innovation and practical industrial application, making her a key reference for researchers and students exploring biosensor design, food safety, and sustainable agricultural practices.
