Abstract
Neonicotinoids, as the fastest-growing class of insecticides, currently account for over 25% of the global pesticide market. Their effectiveness in controlling a wide range of pests that pose a threat to croplands, home yards/gardens, and golf course greens cannot be denied. However, the extensive use of neonicotinoids has resulted in significant declines in nontarget organisms such as pollinators, insects, and birds. Furthermore, the potential chronic, sublethal effects of these compounds on human health remain largely unknown. To address these pressing issues, it is crucial to explore and understand the capabilities of electrochemical sensors in detecting neonicotinoid residues. Surprisingly, despite the increasing importance of this topic, no comprehensive review article currently exists in the literature. Therefore, our proposed review aims to bridge this gap by providing a thorough analysis of the use of electrochemical methods for neonicotinoid determination. In this review article, we will delve into various aspects of electrochemical analysis, including the influence of electrode materials, employed techniques, and the different types of electrode mechanisms utilized. By synthesizing and analysing the existing research in this field, our review will offer valuable insights and guidance to researchers, scientists, and policymakers alike.

Mei X, Wang X, Huang W, Zhu J, Liu K, Wang X, Cai W, He R. A novel polycaprolactone/polypyrrole/β-cyclodextrin electrochemical flexible sensor for dinotefuran pesticide detection. Food Chem 2024; 434:137194. [PMID: 37738813 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2023.137194] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2023] [Revised: 07/17/2023] [Accepted: 08/16/2023] [Indexed: 09/24/2023]
Abstract
The monitoring and the rapid quantification of pesticides and their residues are becoming increasingly important in the field of food safety. Herein, the polycaprolactone/polypyrrole/β-cyclodextrin (PCL/PPy/β-CD) flexible sensor was developed for the electrochemical determination of new neonicotinoid insecticide Dinotefuran (DNF). The morphology, structure, and hydrophilicity of PCL/PPy/β-CD sensor probes were characterized by SEM, FTIR spectroscopy and static contact angle test. Under optimum conditions, the fabricated PCL/PPy/β-CD sensor exhibited excellent electrochemical sensing performance for DNF with a low detection limit of 0.05 μM in the linear concentration range from 0.2 μM to 50 μM and high sensitivity 14.07 μA·μM-1·cm-2, which attributed to the two-stage porous structure, good electron transfer rate and the adsorption effect. The PCL/PPy/β-CD sensor also showed reproducibility (RSD = 4.76%), stability, and high selectivity towards DNF. In addition, a real samples investigation in rice with recoveries of 96.67 % ∼ 103.65 % implied the good application potential of PCL/PPy/β-CD in DNF monitoring.

Abstract
Most food samples are detected positive for neonicotinoid insecticides, posing a severe threat to human health. Electrochemical sensors have been proven effective for monitoring the residues to guarantee food safety, but there needs to be more review to conclude the development status comprehensively. On the other hand, various modified materials were emphasized to improve the performance of electrochemical sensors in relevant reviews, rather than the reasons why they were selected. Therefore, this paper reviewed the electrochemical sensors of neonicotinoid insecticides according to bases and strategies. The fundamental basis is the molecular structure of neonicotinoid insecticides, which was disassembled into four functional groups: nitro group, saturated nitrogen ring system, aromatic heterocycle and chlorine substituent. Their relationships were established with strategies including direct sensing, enzyme sensors, aptasensors, immunosensors, and sample pretreatment, respectively. It is hoped to provide a reference for the effective design of electrochemical sensors for small molecule compounds.

Abstract
Neonicotinoid insecticides (NEOs) are a new class of neurotoxic pesticides primarily used for pest control on fruits and vegetables, cereals, and other crops after organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs), carbamate pesticides (CBPs), and pyrethroid pesticides. However, chronic abuse and illegal use have led to the contamination of food and water sources as well as damage to ecological and environmental systems. Long-term exposure to NEOs may pose potential risks to animals (especially bees) and even human health. Consequently, it is necessary to develop effective, robust, and rapid methods for NEOs detection. Specific recognition-based chemical sensing has been regarded as one of the most promising detection tools for NEOs due to their excellent selectivity, sensitivity, and robust interference resistance. In this review, we introduce the novel recognition strategies-enabled chemical sensing in food neonicotinoids detection in the past years (2017-2023). The properties and advantages of molecular imprinting recognition (MIR), host-guest recognition (HGR), electron-catalyzed recognition (ECR), immune recognition (IR), aptamer recognition (AR), and enzyme inhibition recognition (EIR) in the development of NEOs sensing platforms are discussed in detail. Recent applications of chemical sensing platforms in various food products, including fruits and vegetables, cereals, teas, honey, aquatic products, and others are highlighted. In addition, the future trends of applying chemical sensing with specific recognition strategies for NEOs analysis are discussed.

Abstract
The incorporation of nanomaterials (NMs) into biosensing schemes is a well-established strategy for gaining signal enhancement. With electrochemical biosensors, the enhanced performance achieved from using NMs is often attributed to the specific physical properties of the chosen nanocomponents, such as their high electronic conductivity, size-dependent functionality, and/or higher effective surface-to-volume ratios. First generation amperometric biosensing schemes, typically utilizing NMs in conjunction with immobilized enzyme and semi-permeable membranes, can possess complex sensing mechanisms that are difficult to study and challenging to understand beyond the observable signal enhancement. This study shows the use of an enzymatic reaction between xanthine (XAN) and xanthine oxidase (XOx), involving multiple electroactive species, as an electrochemical redox probe tool for ascertaining mechanistic information at and within the modified electrodes used as biosensors. Redox probing using components of this enzymatic reaction are demonstrated on two oft-employed biosensing approaches and commonly used NMs for modified electrodes: gold nanoparticle doped films and carbon nanotube interfaces. In both situations, the XAN metabolism voltammetry allows for a greater understanding of the functionality of the semipermeable membranes, the role of the NMs, and how the interplay between the two components creates signal enhancement.

Abstract
Neonicotinoid (NN) pesticides have emerged globally as one of the most widely used agricultural tools for protecting crops from pest damage and boosting food production. Unfortunately, some NN compounds, such as extensively employed imidacloprid-based pesticides, have also been identified as likely endangering critical pollinating insects like honey bees. To this end, NN pesticides pose a potential threat to world food supplies. As more countries restrict or prohibit the use of NN pesticides, tools are needed to effectively and quickly identify the presence of NN compounds like imidacloprid on site (e.g., in storage areas on farms or pesticide distribution warehouses). This study represents a proof-of-concept where the colloidal properties of specifically modified gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs) able to engage in the rare intermolecular interaction of halogen bonding (XB) can result in the detection of certain NN compounds. Density functional theory and diffusion-ordered NMR spectroscopy (DOSY NMR) are used to explore the fundamental XB interactions between strong XB-donor structures and NN compounds, with the latter found to possess multiple XB-acceptor binding sites. A fundamental understanding of these XB interactions allows for the functionalization of alkanethiolate-stabilized Au-NPs, known as monolayer-protected gold clusters (MPCs), with XB-donor capability (f-MPCs). In the presence of certain NN compounds such as imidacloprid, the f-MPCs subsequently exhibit visual XB-induced aggregation that is also measured with absorption (UV-vis) spectroscopy and verified with transmission electron microscopy (TEM) imaging. The demonstrated f-MPC-aggregation detection scheme has a number of favorable attributes, including quickly reporting the presence of the NN target, requiring only micrograms of suspect material, and being highly selective for imidacloprid, the most prevalent and most important NN insecticide compound. Requiring no instrumentation, the presented methodology can be envisioned as a simple screening test in which dipping a cotton swab of an unknown powder from a surface in a f-MPC solution causes f-MPCs to aggregate and yield a preliminary indication of imidacloprid presence.

Abstract
An electrochemical sensor enabled by electropolymerization (EP) of β-cyclodextrin on glassy carbon electrode (β-CDP/GCE) is built for the determination of fenitrothion (FNT). The effects of the EP cycles, pH value, and enrichment time on the electrochemical response of FNT were studied. With the optimum conditions, good linear relationships between the current of the reduction peak of the nitroso derivative of FNT and the concentration are obtained in the range of 10-150 and 150-4000 ng/mL, with a detection limit of 6 ng/mL (S/N = 3). β-CDP/GCE also exhibits a satisfactory applicability in cabbage and tap water, with recovery values between 98.43% and 112%. These outstanding results suggest that β-CDP/GCE could be a new effective alternative for the determination of FNT in real samples.

Abstract
For the first time, stable silver nanoparticles with a diameter less than 20 nm were prepared using SDS as a reducing and stabilizing agent and characterized, and then used to construct modified electrodes. The developed electrodes are more catalytically active towards the reduction of clothianidin. Clothianidin undergoes reduction at -300 mV vs. Ag/AgCl on the silver nanoparticle-modified electrode, whereas no reduction peak was observed on a bare glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The detection limit was found to be 2.4 nM. The reduction potential and detection limits reported in this work are lower than ever reported in the literature. The analytical validity of clothianidin was tested using tomatoes. Validation of electrochemical results has been achieved by comparing them to HPLC results. There is a good agreement between the results and those obtained by HPLC. The proposed sensor opens up new possibilities for the sensing of clothianidin in environmental samples.

Abstract
A rapid, effective, and reliable method for the simultaneous detection of 20 neonicotinoids and their metabolites in infant foods has been developed using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). To improve the accuracy and precision of the method, different extraction solvents, extraction methods, and adsorbents were evaluated to achieve a better recovery and clean-up effect. Under optimized conditions, the samples were extracted with acetic acid acidified acetonitrile/ethyl acetate by ultrasonication, and then were cleaned with reduced graphene oxide@Fe3O4 (rGO@Fe3O4) and primary and secondary amine (PSA) through a QuEChERS step. A matrix-matched calibration method was applied for quantification. Relative standard deviations were all <15% for intraday and interday precision. The values of limit of detection and limit of quantification were ranging from 0.02–0.35 μg·kg−1 and 0.1–1.0 μg·kg−1, respectively. The presented method was applied to the analysis of real samples.

Abstract
The metabolism and residue status of neonicotinoids were briefly summarized in this work. Sample pretreatment techniques for the analysis of neonicotinoids were critically discussed. The commonly used detection methods for neonicotinoids residues were also pointed out.
In recent years, the residues of neonicotinoid insecticide in food and environmental samples have attracted extensive attention. Neonicotinoids have many adverse effects on human health, such as cancer, chronic disease, birth defects, and infertility. They have substantial toxicity to some non-target organisms (especially bees). Hence, monitoring the residues of neonicotinoid insecticides in foodstuffs is necessary to guarantee public health and ecological stability. This review aims to summarize and assess the metabolic features, residue status, sample pretreatment methods (solid-phase extraction (SPE), Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged, and Safe (QuEChERS), and some novel pretreatment methods), and detection methods (instrument detection, immunoassay, and some innovative detection methods) for neonicotinoid insecticide residues in food and environmental samples. This review provides detailed references and discussion for the analysis of neonicotinoid insecticide residues, which can effectively promote the establishment of innovative detection methods for neonicotinoid insecticide residues.

Abstract
The study aimed to develop an electrochemical sensor based on glassy carbon, mixed oxide (SiO2/TiO2/Sb2O5), and carbon black. The material was synthesized, characterized, and used to determine thiamethoxam in raw honey and water. The morphologic structure and electrochemical performance of the sensor was characterized by scanning electron microscopy and cyclic voltammetry. Differential pulse voltammetry with a concentration of 0.1 mol L-1 of Britton-Robinson buffer at pH 7.0 allowed the generation of a method to determine thiamethoxam in a linear range of 0.25 to 100.5 μmol L-1 and with a limit of detection of 0.012 μmol L-1. The system efficiently quantified traces of thiamethoxam in raw honey and tap water samples. The modified sensor did not present interferences of K+, Na+, Ca2+, Mg2+, glyphosate, imidacloprid, and carbendazim. In addition, the device showed good recovery values for thiamethoxam when applied directly to honey and water samples without any treatment, presenting an electrochemical sensor to monitor real-time hazardous substances in environmental and food matrices.

Abstract
Supramolecular chemistry, although focused mainly on noncovalent intermolecular and intramolecular interactions, which are considerably weaker than covalent interactions, can be employed to fabricate sensors with a remarkable affinity for a target analyte. In this review the development of cyclodextrin-based electrochemical sensors is described and discussed. Following a short introduction to the general properties of cyclodextrins and their ability to form inclusion complexes, the cyclodextrin-based sensors are introduced. This includes the combination of cyclodextrins with reduced graphene oxide, carbon nanotubes, conducting polymers, enzymes and aptamers, and electropolymerized cyclodextrin films. The applications of these materials as chiral recognition agents and biosensors and in the electrochemical detection of environmental contaminants, biomolecules and amino acids, drugs and flavonoids are reviewed and compared. Based on the papers reviewed, it is clear that cyclodextrins are promising molecular recognition agents in the creation of electrochemical sensors, chiral sensors, and biosensors. Moreover, they have been combined with a host of materials to enhance the detection of the target analytes. Nevertheless, challenges remain, including the development of more robust methods for the integration of cyclodextrins into the sensing unit.

Abstract
Pesticides, due to their intensive use and their peculiar chemical features, can persist in the environment and enter the trophic chain, thus representing an environmental risk for the ecosystems and human health. Although there are several robust and reliable standard analytical techniques for their monitoring, the high frequency of contamination caused by pesticides requires methods for massive monitoring campaigns that are capable of rapidly detecting these compounds in many samples of different origin. Immunosensors represent a potential tool for simple, rapid, and sensitive monitoring of pesticides. Antibodies coupled to electrochemical or optical transducers have resulted in effective detection devices. In this review, the new trends in immunosensor development and the application of immunosensors for the detection of pesticides of environmental concern-such as glyphosate, organophosphates, and neonicotinoids-are described.

Abstract
Honey-rich composition in biologically active compounds makes honey a food products highly appreciated due to the nutritional and healthy properties. Food-manufacturing is very prone to different types of adulterations and fraudulent labelling making it urgent to establish accurate, fast and cost-effective analytical techniques for honey assessment. In addition to the classical techniques (e.g., physicochemical analysis, microscopy, chromatography, immunoassay, DNA metabarcoding, spectroscopy), electrochemical based-sensor devices have arisen as reliable and green techniques for food analysis including honey evaluation, allowing in-situ and on-line assessment, being a user-friendly procedure not requiring high technical expertise. In this work, the use of electronic tongues, also known as taste sensor devices, for honey authenticity and assessment is reviewed. Also, the versatility of electronic tongues to qualitative (e.g., botanical and/or geographical origin assessment as well as detection of adulteration) and quantitative (e.g., assessment of adulterants levels, determination of flavonoids levels or antibiotics and insecticides residues, flavonoids) honey analysis is shown. The review is mainly focused on the research outputs reported during the last decade aiming to demonstrate the potentialities of potentiometric and voltammetric multi-sensor devices, pointing out their main advantages and present and future challenges for becoming a practical quality analytical tool at industrial and commercial levels.
