Abstract
The standard method used to quantify free acidity (FA) in vegetable oil is neutralization titration, which requires many toxic chemicals and depends on an analyst's experience in detecting endpoints. Here, a digital image colorimetry (DIC) method using a smartphone camera was developed to measure FA in vegetable oils. A cupric acetate solution was used to produce the colorimetric reaction. The coloured solutions were imaged, and R values (from the RGB colour system) were calibrated against the respective FAs in the standards. The FA values of the samples were determined by standard addition calibration. These results were compared to measurements of FA obtained by the standard titrimetric method. An excellent correlation was obtained, with an R2 of 0.98 and a mean absolute error of 0.06%. The chemicals needed for analysis were reduced by approximately 90%. Thus, DIC is a less subjective and more economical method for determining FA in vegetable oils.

Abstract
Millions of people worldwide are affected by naturally occurring arsenic in groundwater. The development of a low-cost, highly sensitive, portable assay for rapid field detection of arsenic in water is important to identify areas for safe wells and to help prioritize testing. Herein, a novel paper-based fluorescence assay was developed for the on-site analysis of arsenic, which was constructed by the solid-phase fluorescence filter effect (SPFFE) of AsH3-induced the generation of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) toward carbon dots. The proposed SPFFE-based assay achieves a low arsenic detection limit of 0.36 μg/L due to the efficient reduction of Ag+ by AsH3 and the high molar extinction coefficient of AgNPs. In conjunction with a smartphone and an integrated sample processing and sensing platform, field-sensitive detection of arsenic could be achieved. The accuracy of the portable assay was validated by successfully analyzing surface and groundwater samples, with no significant difference from the results obtained through mass spectrometry. Compared to other methods for arsenic analysis, this developed system offers excellent sensitivity, portability, and low cost. It holds promising potential for on-site analysis of arsenic in groundwater to identify safe well locations and quickly obtain output from the global map of groundwater arsenic.

Abstract
Fucosylated alpha-fetoprotein (AFP-L3) is a more specific and sensitive biomarker for early diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) than only the alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) level. Rapid and simple detection of AFP-L3 level greatly facilitates the early detection as well as the treatment of HCC, resulting in the reduction of mortality. Here, we developed a rapid and sensitive lateral flow assay (LFA) using lectin Lens culinaris agglutinin (LCA), which has a specific affinity to AFP-L3 fraction of AFP, as a biorecognition element for determination of the fucosylation of AFP. The assay is based on a sandwich format performed on a lateral flow test strip. LCA was immobilized on the membrane as a test line (T). Quantitative detection of AFP-L3 was achieved by measuring the green color intensity of captured gold nanoparticle conjugates on the T and control line (C) utilizing an in-house test strip reader. The calculated absorbance obtained by the green color intensity signals proportionally increased with AFP concentrations. The developed lectin-based LFA provided a detection limit of 0.8 ng/mL for AFP with a linear range between 1.5 and 160.0 ng/mL within an assay time of 10 min. Recoveries between 74.5% and 113.2% with relative standard deviations of 5.2%-8.7% for measuring spiked human serum were also achieved. The results reveal that the proposed assay offers a rapid, sensitive, and specific method, which is useful for development in point-of-care testing for early detection and treatment of HCC.

SENSORS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 23:s23115002. [PMID: 37299728 DOI: 10.3390/s23115002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2023] [Revised: 05/13/2023] [Accepted: 05/21/2023] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Useful information about the oxidative stability of a virgin olive oil in terms of oxidation products and antioxidant compounds can be obtained by analyzing the peroxide index (PI) and total phenolic content (TPC), respectively. These quality parameters are usually determined in a chemical laboratory using expensive equipment, toxic solvents, and well-trained personnel. This paper presents a novel portable sensor system for in the field and rapid determination of PI and TPC that is particularly suited in the case of small production environments that cannot afford an internal laboratory for quality control analysis. The system is small, can be powered by both USB ports and batteries, is easy to operate, and integrates a Bluetooth module for wireless data transmission. It estimates the PI and TPC in olive oil from the measurement of the optical attenuation of an emulsion between a reagent and the sample under test. The system has been tested on a set of 12 olive oil samples (eight for calibration and four for validation), and the results have shown how the considered parameters can be estimated with good accuracy. The maximum deviation from the results obtained with the reference analytical techniques is 4.7 meq O2/kg in the case of PI and 45.3 ppm in the case of TPC for the calibration set, while it is 14.8 meq O2/kg in the case of PI and 55 ppm in the case of TPC for the validation set.

Abstract
Recent years have seen research into developing specific application-based materials with particular components. Bio-based polyurethanes (PUs) with self-tightening effect through shape recovery at low temperature have been designed from sesame oil-based plasticizer (HSSO). Without using a catalyst, the produced plasticizer was used to create PU samples. In contrast, orcein-based PU has been created both with and without HSSO. The prepared samples have been analyzed through instrumental as well as chemical analyses for surface chemistry, thermal stability and morphology. The gel content and water absorption capacity of HSSO based PU samples has been observed to be 99.27% and 14.94%, respectively. Shape memory study of the PU samples revealed that HSSO-based PU showed fast shape recovery at 60 °C with shape recovery rate (R r) and shape fixing rate (R f) of 94.44% and 5%, respectively, in 150 seconds, whereas at 36 °C the sample showed 85% R r in 15 minutes with 93.1196 N force and 52.78% R r without force. Low-temperature thermal actuation and high water uptake highlight the prepared samples as suitable candidates for self-tightening structures in textile and biomedical fields.

Abstract
In this research, the pH differential method was explored for the first time using a mobile phone as a detector, replacing UV-Vis spectrophotometry. A smartphone digital image colorimetric (SDIC) system was developed for the determination of the total monomeric anthocyanin content in black rice grains using colour values. The change in colour of anthocyanin cyanidin-3-glucoside (C3G) at pH 1.0 and pH 4.5 was investigated and described through colour model systems (RGB and CIELAB). Under optimum conditions, the quantitative method based on the chroma difference, was able to quantify the total amount of monomeric anthocyanins with a linear correlation (R2 = 0.989) to that of UV-Vis spectrophotometry and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) (reference method). The SDIC system displayed good precision (≤1.88% RSD) and a low detection limit (2.2 ± 0.1 μg g-1). The validated results demonstrated that the developed method was a cost-effective alternative for the quantitation of anthocyanins. In addition, the effect of six mineral elements on black rice cultivation was investigated. The results showed that the addition of the Ca fertiliser resulted in black rice grains with an anthocyanin content 2-fold higher than that of the control with a significant difference (p < 0.05).
