Food Chem 2024; 460:140364. [PMID: 39067432 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.140364] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2024] [Revised: 07/04/2024] [Accepted: 07/04/2024] [Indexed: 07/30/2024]
Abstract
An electrochemical sensor was developed for detecting zearalenone (ZEN) based on the mimic peptide, which was screened from the library and validated by molecular simulation and electrochemical methods. The library of the mimic peptide was constructed according to the structural analysis, molecular docking, molecular dynamics and amino acid mutation. Then, the enhanced electrical signal was attributed to gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and reduced carboxylated graphene oxide (rGO-COOH). Under the optimal conditions, the detection limit was 0.91 pg·mL-1 (S/N = 3) with a wide linear range from 0.01 ng·mL-1 to 10 ng·mL-1. In grain samples, a good recovery rate of 84% to 105.3% was achieved, while the rate ranged from 82% to 108.8% in the commercial ELISA kits. Additionally, the electrochemical sensor exhibited the remarkable specificity, excellent stability and better reproducibility (RSD = 1.94%). This sensor has great potential for rapidly detecting ZEN in food.

[PMID: 36671974 PMCID: PMC9856537 DOI: 10.3390/bios13010140] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2022] [Revised: 01/04/2023] [Accepted: 01/11/2023] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Pesticide and mycotoxin residues in food are concerning as they are harmful to human health. Traditional methods, such as high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for such detection lack sensitivity and operation convenience. Efficient, accurate detection approaches are needed. With the recent development of nanotechnology, electrochemical biosensors based on nanomaterials have shown solid ability to detect trace pesticides and mycotoxins quickly and accurately. In this review, English articles about electrochemical biosensors in the past 11 years (2011-2022) were collected from PubMed database, and various nanomaterials are discussed, including noble metal nanomaterials, magnetic metal nanoparticles, metal-organic frameworks, carbon nanotubes, as well as graphene and its derivatives. Three main roles of such nanomaterials in the detection process are summarized, including biomolecule immobilization, signal generation, and signal amplification. The detection targets involve two types of pesticides (organophosphorus and carbamate) and six types of mycotoxins (aflatoxin, deoxynivalenol, zearalenone, fumonisin, ochratoxin A, and patulin). Although significant achievements have been made in the evolution of electrochemical nano-biosensors, many challenges remain to be overcome.

Abstract
A highly sensitive smartphone-integrated fluorescence quenching immunochromatographic assay (FQICA) for the detection of sesame allergen was proposed. Sesame antibodies were adsorbed on the surface of the gold nanoparticles to form fluorescent acceptors (AuNPs-Ab). Ovalbumin (OVA) protein was labeled with quantum dots (QDs) to form signal probes (QDs-OVA), which were coated on the C-line of the assay strips. A mixture of QDs-OVA and sesame protein was coated on the T-line of the strip. For FQICA, the concentration of the analyte was positively correlated with the fluorescence signal. The developed FQICA had high sensitivity for the detection of sesame protein, and its visual LOD was 80 μg/L and the quantitative LOD was 40 μg/L. In addition, the method had high specificity, except for a small cross-reaction between sesame and walnut. The visual LODs in bread, ham, and biscuits were 640 μg/L. The quantitative LODs were 320 μg/L for biscuits and 640 μg/L for bread and ham. Comparing the developed FQICA with a commercial ELISA kit, the recoveries of sesame protein in both methods were between 80% and 120%.

Abstract
Pt nanoparticles deposited on single-walled carbon nanotubes (PtSWCNTs), synthesized via the deposition precipitation (DP) method, were introduced as a substrate for immobilizing antibodies on an electrode surface and then enhancing the electrochemical sensitivity. A PtSWCNT-modified paper-based screen-printed graphene electrode was successfully developed to diagnose hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. The hepatitis C virus core antigen (HCV-cAg) level was determined by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) using [Fe(CN)6]3-/4- as a redox solution. In the presence of HCV-cAg, the DPV current response decreased with increasing HCV-cAg concentration. Under the optimal conditions, the change in current response provides a good linear correlation with the logarithm of HCV-cAg concentration in the range 0.05 to 1000 pg mL-1 (RSD < 5%), and the limit of detection was 0.015 pg mL-1 (or 0.71 fmol L-1). Furthermore, the proposed immunosensor has been utilized to quantify HCV-cAg in human serum samples with reliable results compared with standard immunoassays (% relative error < 10%). This sensor offers a simple, sensitive, selective, disposable, and inexpensive means for determination of HCV-cAg in human serum samples. The paper-based label-free immunosensor is versatile and feasible for clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Zearalenone (ZEN) is a non-steroidal estrogenic mycotoxin that induces severe health disturbances in humans and animals. This study aimed to determine the bioactive compounds in Costus speciosus extract (CSE) using GC-MS and evaluate its protective capability against ZEN-induced oxidative damage, genotoxicity, and cytotoxicity in rats. Six groups of male Sprague Dawley rats were treated orally for 15 days including the control group, CSE-treated groups at low (200 mg/kg b. w) or high (400 mg/kg b. w) dose, ZEN-treated group (40 μg/kg b. w), and the groups treated with ZEN plus the low or the high dose of CSE. Blood and tissue samples were collected for different assays and pathological analyses. The results of GC-MS indicated the identification of 6 compounds and Azulene was the major. Animals that received ZEN showed severe disturbances in serum biochemical, cytokines, oxidative stress indicators, mRNA expression of iNOS, Nrf2, and inflammatory-related genes. ZEN also increased micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes (MNPCEs) and comet tail formation in bone marrow cells along with the disturbances in the histological architecture of the liver and kidney. Co-administration of CSE plus ZEN could normalize the majority of the tested parameters and the histological picture at a dose as low as 200 mg/kg b. w. Therefore, CSE protects against ZEN toxicity via its antioxidant activity, modulation of iNOS, inflammatory-related genes, and the Nrf2 pathway and it could be used in the endemic regions.

Abstract
A novel and simple strategy was proposed for the determination of ZEA in breakfast cereal, maize powder and rice flour using an electrochemical nanohybrid sensor based on copper-based metal-organic framework (Cu-MOF)/magnetic Fe3O4-graphene oxide (Fe3O4-GO) modified electrode fabricated by the layer-by-layer assembled technique. The synthesized Cu-MOF with high porosity favorably improved the effective surface area and the analytical performance of nanohybrid sensing electrode. The crafted sensor has large surface area, high electron transfer, and satisfactory efficiency. ZEA was electrochemically detected in a wide linear range from 159.2 to 2865.2 ng mL-1 with LOD of 23.14 ng mL-1 under the optimal conditions. Moreover, the electrocatalytic mechanism of ZEA oxidation was proposed by density functional theory (DFT). A favorable energetic interaction was presented when Cu-MOF adsorbed on Fe3O4-GO, and a small new band appeared on the Fermi level energy (Ef) that facilitated the electron transfer between bands.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Zearalenone is a well-known estrogenic mycotoxin produced by Fusarium species, a serious threat to the agricultural and food industries worldwide. Zearalenone, with its known metabolites, are biomarkers of exposure to certain fungi, primarily through food. It has considerable toxic effects on biological systems due to its carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, renal toxicity, teratogenicity, and immunotoxicity. INTRODUCTION This study aims to design a simple, quick, precise, and cost-effective method on a biosensor platform to evaluate the low levels of this toxin in foodstuffs and agricultural products. METHODS An aptamer-based electrochemical biosensor was introduced that utilizes screen-printed gold electrodes instead of conventional electrodes. The electrode position process was employed to develop a gold nanoparticle-modified surface to enhance the electroactive surface area. Thiolated aptamers were immobilized on the surface of gold nanoparticles, and subsequently, the blocker and analyte were added to the modified surface. In the presence of a redox probe, electrochemical characterization of differential pulse voltammetry, cyclic voltammetry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were used to investigate the various stages of aptasensor fabrication. RESULTS The proposed aptasensor for zearalenone concentration had a wide linear dynamic range covering the 0.5 pg/mL to 100 ng/mL with a 0.14 pg/mL detection limit. Moreover, this aptasensor had high specificity so that a non-specific analyte cannot negatively affect the selectivity of the aptasensor. CONCLUSION Overall, due to its simple design, high sensitivity, and fast performance, this aptasensor showed a high potential for assessing zearalenone in real samples, providing a clear perspective for designing a portable and cost-effective device.

Abstract
Fumonisins (FBs) can be found extensively in feedstuffs, foodstuffs, and crops. The consumption of the fumonisin-contaminated corn can result in esophageal cancer. In addition, the secondary metabolites of fungi termed mycotoxins may have some adverse effects on animals and humans such as estrogenicity, immunotoxicity, teratogenicity, mutagenicity, and carcinogenicity. Hence, developing sensitivity techniques for mycotoxins determination is of great importance. This paper reports the latest developments of nanomaterial-based electrochemical biosensing, apta-sensing, sensing, and immunosensing analyses to detect fumonisins. A concise study of the occurrence, legislations, toxicity, and distribution of FBs in levels monitoring was done. The techniques, different detection matrices, and approaches to highly selective and sensitive sensing methods were reviewed. The review also summarizes the salient features and the necessity of biosensing assessments in FBs detection, and diverse immobilization techniques. Furthermore, this review defined the performance of various electrochemical sensors using different detection elements couples with nanomaterials fabricated applying different detection elements coupled with nanomaterials (metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs), metal NPs, CNT, and graphene), the factors limiting progress, and the upcoming tasks in successful aptasensor fabrication with the functionalized nanomaterials.

Abstract
An increasing number of foodborne outbreaks, growing consumer desire for healthier products, and surging numbers of food allergy cases necessitate strict handling and screening of foods at every step of the food supply chain. Current standard procedures for detecting food toxins, contaminants, allergens, and pathogens require costly analytical devices, skilled technicians, and long sample preparation times. These challenges can be overcome with the use of biosensors because they provide accurate, rapid, selective, qualitative, and quantitative detection of analytes. Their ease of use, low-cost production, portability, and nondestructive measurement techniques also enable on-site detection of analytes. For this reason, biosensors find many applications in food safety and quality assessments. The detection mechanisms of biosensors can be varied with the use of different transducers, such as optical, electrochemical, or mechanical. These options provide a more appropriate selection of the biosensors for the intended use. In this review, recent studies focusing on the fabrication of biosensors for food safety or food quality purposes are summarized. To differentiate the detection mechanisms, the review is divided into sections based on the transducer type used.

Abstract
The current manuscript summarizes different electrochemical sensing systems developed within the last 5 years for the detection of zearalenone (ZEN) in diverse matrices such as food, feed, and biofluids. ZEN is one of the most prevalent non-steroidal mycotoxins that is often found in pre- and post-harvest crops. Crops contamination with ZEN and animal exposure to it via contaminated feed, is a global health and economic concern. The European Union has established various preventive programs to control ZEN contamination, and regulations on the maximum levels of ZEN in food and feed. Electrochemical (bio)sensors are a very promising alternative to sensitive but sophisticated and expensive chromatographic techniques. In the current review, recent developments towards electrochemical sensing of ZEN, sorted by type of transducer, their design, development, and approbation/validation are discussed, and the use of specialized electrochemical instrumentation is highlighted.

Abstract
Mycotoxins are the most widely studied biological toxins, which contaminate foods at very low concentrations. This review describes the emerging extraction techniques and the current and alternatives analytical techniques and methods that have been used to successfully detect and identify important mycotoxins. Some of them have proven to be particularly effective in not only the detection of mycotoxins, but also in detecting mycotoxin-producing fungi. Chromatographic techniques such as high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with various detectors like fluorescence, diode array, UV, liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry, and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, have been powerful tools for analyzing and detecting major mycotoxins. Recent progress of the development of rapid immunoaffinity-based detection techniques such as immunoassays and biosensors, as well as emerging technologies like proteomic and genomic methods, molecular techniques, electronic nose, aggregation-induced emission dye, quantitative NMR and hyperspectral imaging for the detection of mycotoxins in foods, have also been presented.

Abstract
An electrochemical aptasensor is described for determination of the phytohormone of zearalenone (ZEA). The gold electrode was modified with ZEA via covalent attachment using cysteamine-hydrochloride and 1,4-phenylene diisocyanate linker. A truncated ZEA aptamer with a dissociation constant of 13.4 ± 2.1 nM was used in an aptasensor. The electrochemical property was investigated using square wave voltammetry for monitoring the change in the electron transfer using the ferro/ferricyanide system as redox probe. Under optimal experimental conditions, the response was best measured at a potential of 0.20 V (vs. Ag/AgCl). The signals depended on the competitive mechanism between the immobilised ZEA and free ZEA for the aptamer binding site. The aptasensor works in the range 0.01 to 1000 ng·mL-1 ZEA concentration, with a detection limit of 0.017 ng·mL-1. High degree of cross-reactivity with the other analogues of ZEA was observed, whereas none towards other mycotoxins. The aptasensor was further applied for the determination of ZEA in the extract of maize grain and showed good recovery percentages between 87 and 110%. Graphical abstract Schematic representation of the electrochemical determination of zearalenone based on indirect competitive assay.

Abstract
As a well-known allergenic indicator in kidney beans, lectins have always been the serious threats for human health. Herein, we introduced a new label-free voltammetric immunosensor for the direct determination of kidney bean lectin (KBL) with potential allergenic activity. Gold nanoparticles-polyethyleneimine-multiwalled carbon nanotubes nanocomposite was one-pot synthesized and modified onto the glass carbon electrode to enhance catalytic currents of oxygen reduction reaction. The KBL polyclonal antibody, acquired from rabbit immunization, was orientedly immobilized on the electrode modified with recombinant staphylococcal protein A via fragment crystallizable (Fc) region of antibody. Under the optimized condition, the immunosensor displayed a good linear response (R2 = 0.978) to KBL with a range from 0.05 to 100 μg/mL and a detection limit of 0.023 μg/mL. Simultaneously, the immunosensor exhibited well selectivity, interference-resistant ability, stability (4 °C) and reproducibility. Compared with the conventional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method, the immunosensor was successfully applied to quantify allergenic activity of lectin in raw and cooked (boiled for 30 min) kidney bean milk samples. This new approach provides new perspectives both for rapid quantification of lectin in kidney beans-derived foodstuffs and as a real-time monitoring tool for the allergenic potential during the whole production and consumption process.

Abstract
Accurate and early diagnosis of mycotoxin is particularly significant to the food and agricultural product safety. In the present work, a sensitive and effective monitoring method for zearalenone (ZEN) was exploited based on a novel self-enhanced electrochemiluminescence (ECL) aptasensor. The self-enhanced lumonophore was compounded by electrostatically combining amine-functionalized Ru(bpy)32+-doped silica nanoparticles (NH2-Ru@SiO2 NPs) and nitrogen doped graphene quantum dots (NGQDs) together. Since the emitter and co-reactant simultaneously existed in the same nanoparticle, shortened electron-transfer distance and decreased energy loss was obtained. Therefore, self-enhanced ECL aptasensor based on the novel complex expressed the widest linear range of 10 fg mL-1-10 ng mL-1 and the lowest detection limit of 1 fg mL-1 for ZEN detection. More importantly, ZEN produced during the mildew process of corn flour was monitored by the developed aptasensor, which exhibited superior determination and potential application in real samples.

Abstract
Modern analysis of food and feed is mostly focused on development of fast and reliable portable devices intended for field applications. In this review, electrochemical biosensors based on immunological reactions and aptamers are considered in the determination of mycotoxins as one of most common contaminants able to negatively affect human health. The characteristics of biosensors are considered from the point of view of general principles of bioreceptor implementation and signal transduction providing sub-nanomolar detection limits of mycotoxins. Moreover, the modern trends of bioreceptor selection and modification are discussed as well as future trends of biosensor development for mycotoxin determination are considered.

Abstract
An aptamer based colorimetric assay is described for the determination of zearalenone (ZEN). It is based on the inhibition of the peroxidase-mimicking activity of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) by the ZEN aptamer. However, in the presence of ZEN, the aptamer is bound by ZEN and can no longer inhibit the peroxidase-mimicking activity of AuNPs. The color change of solution is related to ZEN concentration and observed with bare eyes. Under optimal conditions, the absorbance (at 630 nm) increases linearly in the ZEN concentration range of 10-250 ng·mL-1, and the limit of detection is 10 ng·mL-1. The specificity of the assay was verified by studying the effect of potential interferents. The recoveries from ZEN spiked corn and corn oil range from 92 to 110%, and the relative standard deviations are between 2.4 and 6.4%. The results are in good agreement with those obtained by an ELISA.

Abstract
Here, we demonstrated a new approach for development of an ultrasensitive and green electrochemical immunosensor for Ochratoxin A (OTA). Phage displayed mimotope peptide of OTA was used as mimics of conventional competing antigen, which is chemical synthesized with toxic mycotoxins OTA as raw material, in a competitive sensing platform. The working electrode was modified by polyethylene glycol (PEG) for the purpose of immobilizing antibody effectively. Under the optimized test condition, the limit of detection (LOD) of the established immunosensor was 2.04 fg/mL, and the linear range was 7.17-548.76 fg/mL. Specific measurement of this established method was conducted by testing cross-reactivity of other common mycotoxins, the result showed that mimotope peptide-based immunosensor has negligible cross-reactivity with other mycotoxins. Furthermore, the novel concept of phage displayed mimotope peptide-based immunosensor may provide a potential application in general method for the ultrasensitive detection of various toxic small molecules in food.

Abstract
It is found that the fluorescence of carbon dots (CD) with an emission peak at 459 nm is strongly quenched by silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) with their absorption peak at 430 nm. The finding was applied in a fluorescence quenchometric lateral flow immunochromatographic assay for detection of zearalenone (ZEN) with CDs conjugated to ovalbumin (OVA) as donor signal probe and AgNP-Ab as acceptor signal probe. The assay has an LOD of 0.1 μg·L-1 for ZEN. This is 10 times better than the respective "turn-off" AgNP-based LFIA. In case of cereal samples and their products, the LODs range from 1 to 2.5 μg·kg-1. Only minor cross reactivity is found for fusarium toxins, and no cross-sensitivity for aflatoxin B1, T-2 mycotoxin, ochratoxin A, deoxynivalenol, and fumonisin B1. The assay represents a simple, sensitive, and rapid tool for determination of ZEN in cereal samples and their products. Graphical abstract Schematic presentation of fluorescence quenching lateral flow immunochromatographic assay (FLFIA) based on carbon dots (CD) and silver nanoparticle (AgNP) fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) system for the rapid high sensitive detection of zearalenone (ZEN) in cereal samples.

Abstract
This work reports a study on the development of a sensitive immunosensor for the assay of actin, which is fabricated using sensing material chitosan-Zn nanoparticles (NPs) and anti-actin modified on glassy carbon electrode respectively. The prepared materials were characterized using transmission electron microscope (TEM), fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectra, and circular dichroism (CD) techniques. Meanwhile, the electrochemical properties were studied by linear sweep voltammetric (LSV), electrochemical impedance spectra (EIS), and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). According to the experiments, under the optimum conditions, the linear fitting equation was I (μA) = −17.31 + 78.97c (R2 = 0.9948). The linear range was from 0.0001 to 0.1 mg/mL and the detection limit (LOD, S/N = 3) was 21.52 ng/mL. The interference studies were also performed for checking the sensors’ selectivity to actin. With better properties of the chitosan-Zn NPs, the modified electrode is considered as a better candidate than Western blot or immunohistochemical method for real-time usability. The detection limit reported is the lowest till date and this method provides a new approach for quality evaluation.

Abstract
Portable, rapid, cost effective and simple analytical tools are in increasing demand to facilitate the routine monitoring of target chemical/biological compounds at the point-of-need. Such devices are highly relevant within the context of food safety, particularly concerning the screening of highly toxic and strictly regulated mycotoxins. To achieve ultrarapid detection of mycotoxins, namely aflatoxin B1, ochratoxin A and deoxynivalenol, at the point-of-need, a novel multiplexed bead-based microfluidic competitive immunosensor, coupled with an array of a-Si:H thin-film photodiodes for integrated fluorescence signal acquisition, is reported. Simultaneously measuring the initial binding rate for each analyte of the sample under analysis against an internal reference, this device provided limits of detection below 1 ng mL-1 for all mycotoxins in a single-step assay and within 1 minute after mixing the sample under analysis with a fluorescent conjugate. The compatibility of the device with the analysis of mycotoxins spiked in corn samples was further demonstrated after performing a sample preparation procedure based on aqueous two-phase extraction. The short times of analysis and sensitivities in the low ng mL-1 range make these devices potentially competitive with the lateral flow devices that are currently the standard for this application. Furthermore, this device architecture and concept is amenable of being expanded to other analytes in food safety, biomedical and other applications.

Abstract
Performance of nanoprobes can often determine the detection level of Lateral immunochromatography. Traditional probes were limited by the quantity and orientation of antibodies, immune activity of the Fab region or binding strength between protein and substrate. This study developed a new efficient and robust technology to construct fluorescent nanoprobes with oriented modified antibodies, based on specific binding of the Fc region of antibody with streptococcal protein G (SPG) on the surface of polystyrene microspheres (MS) and subsequent covalent cross-linking at binding sites to firm them. Lateral flow immunoassay using these probes was applied for the detection of cardiac troponin I (cTnI). The significantly improved detection sensitivity demonstrated that antibody orientation on MS surfaces effectively enhanced immunological activities of probes compared with random immobilizing methods. Furthermore, performance evaluation results of lateral flow test strips met clinical requirements perfectly, including limit of detection (0.032 ng/mL), linearity ( R > 0.99), repeatability (CV < 10%), correlation ( R > 0.99), and heat aging stability. This research also employed heterophilic blocking reagent (HBR) to actively block redundant binding sites of SPG for the first time in order to eliminate false positive interferences, improving the sensitivity and precision of test results further.

Abstract
This chapter reviews recent achievements in methods of detection of mycotoxins in food. Special focus is on the biosensor technology that utilizes antibodies and nucleic acid aptamers as receptors. Development of biosensors is based on the immobilization of antibodies or aptamers onto various conventional supports like gold layer, but also on nanomaterials such as graphene oxide, carbon nanotubes, and quantum dots that provide an effective platform for achieving high sensitivity of detection using various physical methods, including electrochemical, mass sensitive, and optical. The biosensors developed so far demonstrate high sensitivity typically in subnanomolar limit of detection. Several biosensors have been validated in real samples. The sensitivity of biosensors is similar and, in some cases, even better than traditional analytical methods such as ELISA or chromatography. We believe that future trends will be focused on improving biosensor properties toward practical application in food industry.

Abstract
Oxidative stress-dependent inflammatory diseases represent a major concern for the population's health worldwide. Biocompatible nanomaterials with enzymatic properties could play a crucial role in the treatment of such pathologies. In this respect, platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) are promising candidates, showing remarkable catalytic activity, able to reduce the intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and impair the downstream pathways leading to inflammation. This review reports a critical overview of the growing evidence revealing the anti-inflammatory ability of PtNPs and their potential applications in nanomedicine. It provides a detailed description of the wide variety of synthetic methods recently developed, with particular attention to the aspects influencing biocompatibility. Special attention has been paid to the studies describing the toxicological profile of PtNPs with an attempt to draw critical conclusions. The emerging picture suggests that the material per se is not causing cytotoxicity, while other physicochemical features related to the synthesis and surface functionalization may play a crucial role in determining the observed impairment of cellular functions. The enzymatic activity of PtNPs is also summarized, analyzing their action against ROS produced by pathological conditions within the cells. In particular, we extensively discuss the potential of these properties in nanomedicine to down-regulate inflammatory pathways or to be employed as diagnostic tools with colorimetric readout. A brief overview of other biomedical applications of nanoplatinum is also presented.

Abstract
Colloidal gold, quantum dots and polystyrene microspheres were used as labels in three kinds of lateral flow immunochromatographic assays (ICAs) for the detection of zearalenone (ZEN) in cereal samples. The assays allow ZEN to be quantified within 20 min. The LODs are 10 μg·L-1 of ZEN for the colloidal gold-based ICA, and 1 μg·L-1 for both the quantum dot and polystyrene microsphere based ICAs. The respective data are 60 μg·kg-1, 6 μg·kg-1 and 6 μg·kg-1, respectively, for spiked samples and cereals. Only minor cross-sensitivity occurred between ZEN and fusarium toxins, and no cross-sensitivity if found for aflatoxin B1, T-2 mycotoxin, ochratoxin A, deoxynivalenol, and fumonisin B1. LODs of the three assays are lower than the maximum limits of ZEN set by most standardization agencies.

Abstract
An electrochemical chiral multilayer nanocomposite was prepared by modifying a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) via opposite-charge adsorption of amino-modified β-cyclodextrin (NH2-β-CD), gold-platinum core-shell microspheres (Au@Pts), polyethyleneimine (PEI), and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). The modified GCE was applied to the enantioselective voltammetric determination of tryprophan (Trp). The Au@Pts enable an effective immobilization of the chiral selector (NH2-β-CD) and enhance the electrochemical performance. Scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, UV-vis spectroscopy, FTIR and electrochemical methods were used to characterize the nanocomposite. Trp enantiomers were then determined by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) (with a peak potential of +0.7 V vs. Ag/AgCl). The recognition efficiency was expressed by an increase in peak height by about 32% for DPV determinations of L-Trp compared to D-Trp in case of a 5 mM Trp solution of pH 7.0. Response was linear in the 10 μM to 5.0 mM concentration range, and the limits of detection were 4.3 μM and 5.6 μM with electrochemical sensitivity of 43.5 μA·μM-1·cm-2 and 34.6 μA·μM-1·cm-2 for L-Trp and D-Trp, respectively (at S/N = 3). Graphical Abstract Schematic of an electrochemical chiral multilayer nanocomposite composed of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), polyethyleneimine (PEI), gold-platinum core-shell microspheres (Au@Pt) and amino-modified β-cyclodextrin (NH2-β-CD). It was prepared by modifying a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) for enantioselective voltammetric determination of tryptophan (Trp) enantiomers.

Abstract
An ultrasensitive immunosensor for the direct detection of the illegally used livestock feed clebuterol (CLB) is described. It is based on the use of a glassy carbon electrode modified with an MoS2-AuPt nanocomposite and on biotin-streptavidin interaction. The use of MoS2-AuPt accelerates electron transfer, and this leads to a sharp increase in the electrochemical signal for the electrochemical probe hydrogen peroxide. Differential pulse voltammetry was used to record the current signal at a peak potential of -0.18 V (vs SCE). Under optimal conditions, the electrode has a linear response in the 10 pg·mL-1 to 100 ng·mL-1 CLB concentration range and a 6.9 pg·mL-1 detection limit (based on the 3σ criterium). This immunosensor is sensitive, highly specific and acceptably reproducible, and thus represents a valuable tool for the determination of CLB in pork.

Abstract
A sandwich-type electrochemical DNA sensor is described for the detection of oligonucleotides typical for MECP2 gene mutations. Palladium nanoparticles (PdNPs) and platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) were used to synthesize flower-like PdPt nanodendrites (NDs) by a one-pot method. The PdPt NDs possess a high specific surface area and excellent catalytic capabilities. They served as the carrier for the signal DNA probe (SP) and simultaneously catalyze the reduction of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The PdPt NDs were modified with melamine, and this results in the formation of a PdPt-melamine network through stable interactions between the PdPt NDs and the three amino groups of each melamine molecule. The network exhibits excellent catalytic ability in enhancing the current signal response in the voltammetric detection of MECP2 gene mutation, best measured at -0.4 V vs. SCE and using H2O2 as the electrochemical probe. In addition, gold nanoflowers were electrodeposited on the electrode interface in order to accelerate electron transfer and to capture the capture probe. The sensor is stable and can detect MECP2 gene mutations in the 1 fmol·L-1 to 1 nmol·L-1 concentration range, with a 0.33 fmol·L-1 lower detection limit at an S/N ratio of 3. Graphical abstract Schematic presentation of electrodes for the determination of the X-linked gene methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MECP2). The sensor is based on the electrooxidation of added H2O2 by using the melamine modified palladium platinum bimetal nanodendrites as network signal amplification strategy. This versatile platform expands studies on the detection of monogenic disease.
