Glutathione-Capped CdTe Quantum Dots Based Sensors for Detection of H 2O 2 and Enrofloxacin in Foods Samples. Foods 2022; 12:foods12010062. [PMID: 36613278 PMCID: PMC9818724 DOI: 10.3390/foods12010062] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2022] [Revised: 12/08/2022] [Accepted: 12/12/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Additives and antibiotic abuse during food production and processing are among the key factors affecting food safety. The efficient and rapid detection of hazardous substances in food is of crucial relevance to ensure food safety. In this study, a water-soluble quantum dot with glutathione as a ligand was synthesized as a fluorescent probe by hydrothermal method to achieve the detection and analysis of H2O2. The detection limits were 0.61 μM in water and 68 μM in milk. Meanwhile, it was used as a fluorescent donor probe and manganese dioxide nanosheets were used as a fluorescent acceptor probe in combination with an immunoassay platform to achieve the rapid detection and analysis of enrofloxacin (ENR) in a variety of foods with detection limits of 0.05-0.25 ng/mL in foods. The proposed systems provided new ideas for the construction of fluorescence sensors with high sensitivity.

Abstract
Recently, carbon dots (CDs) have been widely investigated for biological applications in imaging. One-step hydrothermal synthesis is considered to be one of the most promising methods for the synthesis of CDs, due to its simple and rapid manipulation, flexible selection of ingredients, environmentally friendly conditions, and low-cost. A number of synthetic and post-synthetic parameters, including solvent, heating time, dopant quantity, and particle size distribution, play a crucial role in controlling the size and surface structure of CDs, which ultimately have influence on their photophysical and biological behavior. Despite the crucial role of each of these parameters in defining the yield and nature of synthesized CDs, they have not previously been rigorously optimized, particularly with respect to desired biological applications. Herein, we report our comprehensive optimization of the parameters employed for the hydrothermal synthesis of CDs to gain a better understanding of the effect of these parameters on optical properties, cytotoxicity, and cellular uptake efficiency. Furthermore, this work will open up new pathways toward the design of CDs with physiochemical properties tailored for specific biomedical applications such as bioimaging.

Abstract
The activities and transmissions of microorganisms are closely related to human, and all kinds of diseases caused by pathogenic microorganisms have attracted attention in the world and brought many challenges to human health and public health. The traditional microbial detection technologies have characteristics of longer detection cycle and complicated processes, therefore, which can no longer meet the detection requirements in the field of public health. At present, it is the focus to develop and design a novel, rapid, and simple microbial detection method in the field of public health. Herein, this article summarized the development of aptamer biosensor technologies for detection of microorganism in the aspect of bacteria, viruses, and toxins in detail, including optical aptamer sensors such as fluorometry and colorimetry, electrochemical aptamer sensors, and other technologies combined with aptamer. KEY POINTS: • Aptamer biosensor is a good platform for microbial detection. • Aptamer biosensors include optical sensors and electrochemical sensors. • Aptamer sensors have been widely used in the detection of bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms.
