Abstract

Microbiological contamination in aviation fuels represents a critical threat to operational safety, energy efficiency, and the integrity of aeronautical systems. This contamination can cause filter blockage, component corrosion, sludge formation, and loss of energy performance, generating operational risks and high maintenance costs. This article presents a comprehensive review of the state of the art on the use of nanotechnology and nanobiosensors for the rapid, accurate, and real-time detection of microorganisms in jet fuels. The available diagnostic technologies, the progress achieved in Cuba in the development of nanostructured platforms, and the associated regulatory and toxicological challenges are described. Emerging nanobiosensors stand out as an advanced technological solution, capable of detecting microorganisms and their metabolites quickly, sensitively, and specifically. The results demonstrate their potential as a strategic tool for microbiological monitoring in fuel storage facilities, with direct implications for air safety and industrial sustainability.
