Aptamer, as a single-stranded nucleic acid molecule screened by systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX), has shown broad application prospects in the field of food safety detection due to its advantages of high specificity, easy synthesis and modification and good stability. This paper reviewed the research progress of aptamer screening techniques for different target analytes (such as food-borne pathogens, microbial toxins, pesticides, heavy metal ions, etc.) in food safety detection, emphatically introduced the principles, characteristics and application scenarios of traditional SELEX (such as capture-SELEX, genomic-SELEX, capillary electrophoresis-SELEX, fluorescent‑magnetic-SELEX, real-SELEX, cell-SELEX, graphene oxide-SELEX). At the same time, this paper systematically expounded the mechanism of aptamer optimization strategy to improve the binding performance and detection applicability of aptamers, summarized the existing problems in the application of aptamers in food safety detection, introduced the current aptamer screening and optimization techniques and prospected their future development directions, providing a reference for the application of this technology in rapid and accurate detection of food safety.
