Bioengineered polymers and nanomaterials have emerged as promising and advanced materials for fabrication and development of novel biosensors. Nanotechnology-enabled biosensor methods have high sensitivity, selectivity and more rapid detection of analyte. Biosensor based methods are more rapid and simple with higher sensitivity and selectivity and can be developed for point-of-care diagnostic testing.Development of a simple, sensitive and rapid method for sorbitol detection is of great significance to efficient monitoring of diabetes-associated disorders like cataract, neuropathy and nephropathy at initial stages. This issue encourages us to write a review which highlight recent advancement in the field of sorbitol detection as no such reports have been published till the date. The first section of this review will be dedicated to the conventional approaches or methods that had been played a role in detection. The second part will focus on the emerging field i.e. biosensors with optical, electrochemical, piezoelectric etc. approachesfor sorbitol detection and importance of its detection in healthcare application. It is expected that this review will be very helpful for readers to know the different conventional and recent detection techniques for sorbitol at a glance.
