Abstract
Tracing the presence of allergenic β-lactoglobulin (β-Lg) in infant foods is an urgent need, but the interference from the protein-rich matrix often hampered the detection accuracy. Here, we developed a sandwich assay for β-Lg in infant food formula based on a hierarchically architectured antifouling capture probe and fluorescent recognition probe. The antifouling capture probe was constructed from the polydopamine-coated magnetic particles (Fe3O4@PDA), which was modified with repeated glutamic acid-lysine (EK) antifouling peptide and aptamer towards β-Lg. The spatial arrangement of these ligands on the Fe3O4@PDA surface was carefully tailored. Furthermore, a fluorescent recognition probe based on aptamer-modified silica-doped carbon quantum dot was developed to explore a sandwich assay for β-Lg with the capture probe. The sandwich assay was proved to have high potential in detecting β-Lg in commercially available infant food samples. The work provided a new approach to developing detection methods with matrix interference-resistant properties.

Abstract
One of the most consumed foods is milk and milk products, and guaranteeing the suitability of these products is one of the major concerns in our society. This has led to the development of numerous sensors to enhance quality controls in the food chain. However, this is not a simple task, because it is necessary to establish the parameters to be analyzed and often, not only one compound is responsible for food contamination or degradation. To attempt to address this problem, a multiplex analysis together with a non-directed (e.g., general parameters such as pH) analysis are the most relevant alternatives to identifying the safety of dairy food. In recent years, the use of new technologies in the development of devices/platforms with optical or electrochemical signals has accelerated and intensified the pursuit of systems that provide a simple, rapid, cost-effective, and/or multiparametric response to the presence of contaminants, markers of various diseases, and/or indicators of safety levels. However, achieving the simultaneous determination of two or more analytes in situ, in a single measurement, and in real time, using only one working 'real sensor', remains one of the most daunting challenges, primarily due to the complexity of the sample matrix. To address these requirements, different approaches have been explored. The state of the art on food safety sensors will be summarized in this review including optical, electrochemical, and other sensor-based detection methods such as magnetoelastic or mass-based sensors.

Mikrochim Acta 2023; 190:166. [PMID: 37010667 PMCID: PMC10070211 DOI: 10.1007/s00604-023-05756-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2022] [Accepted: 03/17/2023] [Indexed: 04/04/2023]
Abstract
A high percentage of the population suffers from multiple food allergies justifying the importance of reliable diagnostic methods. Single-analyte solutions based on the determination of specific immunoglobulins E (sIgE) are safe and fast but are generally time-consuming and expensive. Thus sustainable microanalytical methods that provide multianalyte profiling information are highly demanded. This work presents the in vitro biosensing of specific IgE levels based on a reversed-phase allergen array. The approach consists of optical biosensing supported by direct multiplex immunoassays and on-disc technology. It identifies 12 sIgE associated with food allergies in a single analysis with a low serum sample volume (25 µL). After processing captured images, specific signals for each target biomarker correlate to their concentration. The assay analytically performs well with 0.3 IU/mL and 0.41 IU/mL as the detection and quantification limits in serum, respectively. This novel method achieves excellent clinical specificity (100%) and high sensitivity (91.1%), considering the diagnosis obtained by clinical history and ImmunoCAP analysis. The results demonstrate that microanalytical systems based on allergen arrays can potentially diagnose multiple food allergies and are easily implemented in primary care laboratory settings.

Abstract
Inspired by an adaptive immune system, we have developed a bioelectronic sensing platform which relies on nanovesicles for a signal amplification and can be easily adapted for the detection of new food allergens. In this work, nanovesicles with anti-immunoglobulin E (anti-IgE) antibody receptors were extracted from immune cells and immobilized on a carbon nanotube-based transistor to build a highly sensitive and selective biosensing platform. Our sensor could detect peanut allergen, arachis hypogaea 2 (Ara h 2), down to 0.1 fM and selectively discriminate target allergens in real food samples such as peanut and egg white. As a proof of concept, we demonstrated the detection of different target molecules using the same nanovesicles linked with different antibodies. Our sensor platform was also utilized to quantitatively evaluate the effect of allergy drug such as cromolyn. In this regard, our strategy can be utilized for basic research and versatile applications in food and pharmacological industries.

Abstract
A fluorescence detection method based on quantum dot-aptamer-graphene oxide probes (QD-Apt-GO) was developed to detect β-lactoglobulin (β-LG) in foods. When β-LG was present in the samples, it specifically bound to the aptamer, inhibiting the binding of probes to graphene oxide (GO), and the fluorescence of the probes could be detected. When β-LG was not present, the probes could bind to GO through π-π stacking, and the fluorescence was consequently quenched. The detection range of the optimized assay for β-LG detection was 0.36-500 mg L-1. The limit of detection (LOD) for β-LG was 96.91 μg L-1. The method was also validated for food sample detection. In the spike and recovery experiments of Neocate amino acid infant formula, infant millet cookies, and infant rice porridge, the recoveries were in the range of 83.33-114.53%, which met the required range of the addition recoveries. At the same time, the results were consistent with those of commercial ELISA kits. Three types of random food products purchased from a local market were analyzed for β-LG via the developed assay and using a commercial ELISA kit. The results showed good accuracy and consistency between the proposed method and the commercial ELISA kit.

Abstract
Food allergies (FA) are commonly depicted as immune responses. The mechanism of allergic reactions involves immunoglobulin E (IgE) and non-immunoglobulin E (non-IgE)-related responses caused by contact with specific foods. FAs can be fatal, have negative effects and have become the subject of fanaticism in recent years. In terms of food safety, allergic compounds have become a problem. The immune response to allergens is different to that from food intolerance, pharmacological reactions, and poisoning. The most important allergenic foods are soybeans, milk, eggs, groundnuts, shellfishes, tree nuts, cereals and fish, which together are known as the “Big Eight”. This review will introduce and discuss FAs in milk, peanuts, nuts, shellfishes, eggs and wheat and their detections and potential treatments will also be provided. We believe that this review may provide important information regarding food-induced allergies for children who have allergic reactions and help them avoid the allergenic food in the future.

Abstract
Nanotechnology is science, engineering and technology conducted at the nanoscale, which is about 1-100 nm. It has led to the development of nanomaterials, which behave very differently from materials with larger scales and can have a wide range of applications in biomedicine. The physical and chemical properties of materials of such small compounds depend mainly on the size, shape, composition and functionalization of the system. Nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes, liposomes, polymers, dendrimers and nanogels, among others, can be nanoengineeried for controlling all parameters, including their functionalization with ligands, which provide the desired interaction with the immunological system, that is dendritic cell receptors to activate and/or modulate the response, as well as specific IgE, or effector cell receptors. However, undesired issues related to toxicity and hypersensitivity responses can also happen and would need evaluation. There are wide panels of accessible structures, and controlling their physico-chemical properties would permit obtaining safer and more efficient compounds for clinical applications goals, either in diagnosis or treatment. The application of dendrimeric antigens, nanoallergens and nanoparticles in allergy diagnosis is very promising since it can improve sensitivity by increasing specific IgE binding, mimicking carrier proteins or enhancing signal detection. Additionally, in the case of immunotherapy, glycodendrimers, liposomes, polymers and nanoparticles have shown interest, behaving as platforms of allergenic structures, adjuvants or protectors of allergen from degradation or having a depot capacity. Taken together, the application of nanotechnology to allergy shows promising facts facing important goals related to the improvement of diagnosis as well as specific immunotherapy.

Abstract
Ensuring consistently high quality and safety is paramount to food producers and consumers alike. Wet chemistry and microbiological methods provide accurate results, but those methods are not conducive to rapid, onsite testing needs. Hence, many efforts have focused on rapid testing for food quality and safety, including the development of various biosensors. Herein, we focus on a group of biosensors, which provide visually recognizable colorimetric signals within minutes and can be used onsite. Although there are different ways to achieve visual color-change signals, we restrict our focus on sensors that exploit the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) phenomenon of metal nanoparticles, primarily gold and silver nanoparticles. The typical approach in the design of LSPR biosensors is to conjugate biorecognition ligands on the surface of metal nanoparticles and allow the ligands to specifically recognize and bind the target analyte. This ligand-target binding reaction leads to a change in color of the test sample and a concomitant shift in the ultraviolet-visual absorption peak. Various designs applying this and other signal generation schemes are reviewed with an emphasis on those applied for evaluating factors that compromise the quality and safety of food and agricultural products. The LSPR-based colorimetric biosensing platform is a promising technology for enhancing food quality and safety. Aided by the advances in nanotechnology, this sensing technique lends itself easily for further development on field-deployable platforms such as smartphones for onsite and end-user applications.

Abstract
With the gradually increasing prevalence of food allergy in recent years, food allergy has become a major public health problem worldwide. The clinical symptoms caused by food allergy seriously affect people's quality of life; there are unknown allergen components in novel food and hidden allergens caused by cross contamination in food processing, which pose a serious risk to allergy sufferers. Thus, rapid and multiplex detection methods are required to achieve on-site detection or examination of allergic components, so as to identify the risk of allergy in time. This paper reviews the progress of high-efficiency detection of food allergens, including enhanced traditional detection techniques and emerging detection techniques with the ability high-throughput detection or screening potential food allergen, such as xMAP, biosensors, biochips, etc. focusing on their sensitivity, applicability of each method in food, along with their pretreatment, advantages, limitation in the application of food analysis. This paper also introduces the challenges faced by these high-efficiency detection technologies, as well as the potential of customized allergen screening methods and rapid on-site detection technology as future research directions.

Abstract
Several individuals will experience accidental exposure to an allergen. In this sense, the industry has invested in the processes of removing allergenic compounds in food. However, accidental exposure to allergenic proteins can result from allergenic substances not specified on labels. Analysis of allergenic foods is involved in methods based on immunological, genetic, and mass spectrometry. The traditional methods have some limitations, such as high cost. In recent years, biosensor and nanoparticles combined have emerged as sensitive, selective, low-cost, and time-consuming techniques that can replace classic techniques. Nevertheless, each nanomaterial has shown a different potential to specific allergens or classes. This review used Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and the Meta-Analysis guidelines (PRISMA) to approach these issues. A total of 104 articles were retrieved from a standardized search on three databases (PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science). The systematic review article is organized by the category of allergen detection and nanoparticle detection. This review addresses the relevant biosensors and nanoparticles as gold, carbon, graphene, quantum dots to allergen protein detection. Among the selected articles it was possible to notice a greater potential application on the allergic proteins Ah, in peanuts and gold nanoparticle-base as a biosensor. We envision that in our review, the association between biosensor and nanoparticles has shown promise in the analysis of allergenic proteins present in different food samples.

Abstract
New antigens deriving from -lloyl and -llanyl, major and minor determinants, respectively, were produced for β-lactam antibiotics cefuroxime, cefotaxime, ceftriaxone, meropenem and aztreonam. Twenty β-lactam antigens were produced using human serum albumin and histone H1 as carrier proteins. Antigens were tested by multiplex in vitro immunoassays and evaluated based on the detection of specific IgG and IgE in the serum samples. Both major and minor determinants were appropriate antigens for detecting specific anti-β-lactam IgG in immunised rabbit sera. In a cohort of 37 allergic patients, we observed that only the minor determinants (-llanyl antigens) were suitable for determining specific anti-β-lactam IgE antibodies with high sensitivity (< 0.01 IU/mL; 24 ng/L) and specificity (100%). These findings reveal that not only the haptenisation of β-lactam antibiotics renders improved molecular recognition events when the 4-member β-lactam ring remains unmodified, but also may contribute to develop promising minor antigens suitable for detecting specific IgE-mediated allergic reactions. This will facilitate the development of sensitive and selective multiplexed in vitro tests for drug-allergy diagnoses to antibiotics cephalosporin, carbapenem and monobactam.

Abstract
Food allergy is one of the major health threats for sensitized individuals all over the world and, over the years, the food industry has made significant efforts and investments to offer safe foods for allergic consumers. The analysis of the concentration of food allergen residues in processing equipment, in raw materials or in the final product, provides analytical information that can be used for risk assessment as well as to ensure that food-allergic consumers get accurate and useful information to make their food choices and purchasing decisions. The development of biosensors based on nanomaterials for applications in food analysis is a challenging area of growing interest in the last years. Research in this field requires the combined efforts of experts in very different areas including food chemistry, biotechnology or materials science. However, the outcome of such collaboration can be of significant impact on the food industry as well as for consumer’s safety. These nanobiosensing devices allow the rapid, selective, sensitive, cost-effective and, in some cases, in-field, online and real-time detection of a wide range of compounds, even in complex matrices. Moreover, they can also enable the design of novel allergen detection strategies. Herein we review the main advances in the use of nanoparticles for the development of biosensors and bioassays for allergen detection, in food samples, over the past few years. Research in this area is still in its infancy in comparison, for instance, to the application of nanobiosensors for clinical analysis. However, it will be of interest for the development of new technologies that reduce the gap between laboratory research and industrial applications.
