Abstract
The abuse of antibiotics has caused gradually increases drug-resistant bacterial strains that pose health risks. Herein, a sensitive SERS sensor coupled multivariate calibration was proposed for quantification of antibiotics in milk. Initially, octahedral gold-silver nanocages (Au@Ag MCs) were synthesized by Cu2O template etching method as SERS substrates, which enhanced the plasmonic effect through sharp edges and hollow nanostructures. Afterwards, five chemometric algorithms, like partial least square (PLS), uninformative variable elimination-PLS (UVE-PLS), competitive adaptive reweighted sampling-PLS (CARS-PLS), random frog-PLS (RF-PLS), and convolutional neural network (CNN) were applied for TTC and CAP. RF-PLS performed optimally for TTC and CAP (Rc = 0.9686, Rp = 0.9648, RPD = 3.79 for TTC and Rc = 0.9893, Rp = 0.9878, RPD = 5.88 for CAP). Furthermore, the detection limit of 0.0001 µg/mL for both TTC and CAP was obtained. Finally, satisfactory (p > 0.05) results were obtained with the standard HPLC method. Therefore, SERS combined RF-PLS could be applied for fast, nondestructive sensing of TTC and CAP in milk.

Abstract
Since presently Alzheimer's disease (AD) is incurable, early diagnosis of AD is crucial. Aβ 1-42 and tau-441 proteins are promising core biomarkers for early diagnosis and early therapeutic intervention in AD. Here we constructed a surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) biosensor for highly sensitive quantitative detection of Aβ 1-42 and tau proteins by preparing gold nanocube (AuNC) superlattices through evaporation self-assembly. The results showed that the method has a wide response range (0.1-10 000 ng mL-1 and 0.01-1000 ng mL-1, respectively) and high sensitivity. The detection limits of Aβ1-42 and tau protein were 0.0416 ng mL-1 and 0.0087 ng mL-1, respectively. In addition, the method was able to rapidly and simultaneously detect the two biomarkers in serum, which showed the feasibility of the method in complex biological environments. The detection of Aβ 1-42 and tau protein has great potential for the accurate prediction and early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease.

[PMID: 36900600 PMCID: PMC10001036 DOI: 10.3390/foods12051085] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2023] [Revised: 02/26/2023] [Accepted: 03/01/2023] [Indexed: 03/08/2023] Open
Abstract
In this study, a rapid fluorescent and colorimetric dual-mode detection strategy for Hg2+ in seafoods was developed based on the cyclic binding of the organic fluorescent dye rhodamine 6G hydrazide (R6GH) to Hg2+. The luminescence properties of the fluorescent R6GH probe in different systems were investigated in detail. Based on the UV and fluorescence spectra, it was determined that the R6GH has good fluorescence intensity in acetonitrile and good selective recognition of Hg2+. Under optimal conditions, the R6GH fluorescent probe showed a good linear response to Hg2+ (R2 = 0.9888) in the range of 0-5 μM with a low detection limit of 2.5 × 10-2 μM (S/N = 3). A paper-based sensing strategy based on fluorescence and colorimetric analysis was developed for the visualization and semiquantitative analysis of Hg2+ in seafoods. The LAB values of the paper-based sensor impregnated with the R6GH probe solution showed good linearity (R2 = 0.9875) with Hg2+ concentration in the range of 0-50 μM, which means that the sensing paper can be combined with smart devices to provide reliable and efficient Hg2+ detection.

Abstract
The copper ion was detected rapidly by a novel sensing membrane in this paper for its damage to health and the environment. CdSe/ZnS QDs modified polyethersulfone membrane (QDs@PESM) was made by phase-inversion method using a membrane separation technique and quantum dots (QDs). When the sample passed through the membrane, the copper ions in the sample caused the membrane's fluorescence to be quenched. The fluorescence quenching value of the membrane is used to calculate the concentration of copper ions. With R2= 0.9964, Cu2+could be quantitatively detected over a wide concentration range (10-1000 μg/L). The method's LOD and LOQ were 4.27 and 14.23 μg/L, respectively. When the CdSe/ZnS QDs@PESM was used to analyze Cu2+ in various real drinks, including well water, baijiu, orange juice, beer, and milk, the recovery ranged from 79.1 to 123.9%, indicating that the CdSe/ZnS QDs@PESM can be used as a rapid, simple and reliable method to determine Cu2+ in various matrices.

Abstract
A highly luminescent Ln-MOF [La3(NDC)4(DMF)3(H2O)4]n, (NDC = 2, 6 naphthalen dicarboxylic acid) was designed and synthesized. The structure was characterized by x-ray single structure determination, TGA, IR spectra and PXRD and fluorescence spectroscopy. The structure shows high fluorescence intensity based on the presence of lanthanide metal and ligand. In the presence of I-, the emission can be effectively quenched introducing turn off system. Furthermore, the synthesized Ln-MOF can recognize Hg (II) by showing fluorescence turn-on signal because of the high affinity between Hg (II) and I-. Moreover, the high selectivity and sensitivity of the synthesized Ln-MOF makes it quit qualified for determination of the low concentration of mercury (2.00 nM).

Abstract
Different self-assembly methods not only directly change the arrangement of noble metal particles on the substrate but also indirectly affect the local electromagnetic field distribution and intensity of the substrate under specific optical excitation conditions, which leads to distinguished different enhancement effects of the structure on molecular Raman signals. In this paper, first, the gold species growth method was used to prepare the silver-coated gold nanocubes (Au@Ag NCs) with regular morphology and uniform size, and then the two-phase and three-phase liquid-liquid self-assembly and evaporation-induced self-assembly methods were used to obtain the substrate structure with different NC arrangement patterns. The optimal arrangement of NCs was found by transverse comparison of Raman signal detection of probe molecules with the same concentration. Subsequently, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) measurements of Rhodamine (Rh6G) and aspartame (APM) were carried out. Furthermore, the finite element method (FEM) was employed to calculate the local electromagnetic fields of the substrates with different Au@Ag NC arrangements, and the calculated results were in agreement with the experimental results. The experimental results show that the SERS-active substrate was largely associated with the different arrangements of Au@Ag NCs, and the island membrane Au@Ag NCs array substrate obtained by evaporation-induced self-assembly can generate a strong local electromagnetic field due to the edge and corner bonding gap between the tightly arranged NCs; this endows the substrate with benign sensitivity and reproducibility and has great potential in molecular detection, biosensing, and food safety monitoring.

Abstract
A capillary-based SERS sensor was fabricated for ultrasensitive and selective detection of Hg2+ in water. Au@Ag core-shell NPs embedded with 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA) (Au@4-MBA@Ag) were prepared by a seed growth method and fixed on the inner wall of the glass capillary to obtain the sensor. Owing to the amalgamation between Ag and Hg, the capillary-based SERS sensor can specifically recognize the reduced Hg2+ without any recognition element, and the resulted Ag/Hg amalgam can weaken the SERS activity of Ag shell; thus, the SERS intensity of the embedded 4-MBA at 1075 cm-1 gradually decreased with the increase of Hg2+ concentration. Under the optimum condition, the fabricated sensor can sensitively determine Hg2+ in water with a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 0.03 nM. The capillary-based SERS sensor offers the advantages of simple preparation, superior stability, and high selectivity, which is promising for rapid and on-site detection of Hg2+ in water combined with a portable Raman device.

Abstract
The potential applications of metal-enhanced fluorescence (MEF) devices include biosensors for the detection of trace amounts in biosciences, biotechnology, and pathogens that are relevant to medical diagnostics and food control. In the present study, the silver (Ag) film thickness (56 nm) of an MEF system was calibrated to maximize the depth-to-width ratio (Γ) of the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) active metal from reflectance dip curves. Upon plasmon coupling with thermally evaporated Ag, we demonstrated a 2.21-fold enhancement compared to the pristine flat substrate with the coefficient of variation (CV) ≈0.22% and the limit of detection (LOD) 0.001 mg L-1 of the concentration of an Alexa Fluor 488-labeled anti-C-reactive protein antibody (CRP@Alexa fluor 488). The structure was developed to simplify the in situ generation of biosensors for the surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) to determine Rhodamine B (RhB) with a highly robust performance. The procedure presented a simple and rapid sample pretreatment for the determination of RhB with a limit of quantification of 10-10 M and a satisfactory linear response (0.98). The results showed the excellent performance of the surface plasmon coupled emission (SPCE), which opens up possibilities for the accurate detection of small-volume and low-concentration target analytes due to the improved sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).

Abstract
Fluorescence analytical methods, as real time and in situ analytical approaches to target analytes, can offer advantages of high sensitivity/selectivity, great versatility, non-invasive measurement and easy transmission over long distances. However, the conventional fluorescence assay still suffers from low specificity, insufficient sensitivity, poor reliability and false-positive responses. By exploiting various metal nanoarchitectures to manipulate fluorescence, both increased fluorescence quantum yield and improved photostability can be realized. This metal nanoarchitecture-enhanced fluorescence (MEF) phenomenon has been extensively studied and used in various sensors over the past years, which greatly improved their sensing performance. Thus in this review, we primarily give a general overview of MEF based sensors from mechanisms to state-of-the-art applications in environmental assays, biological/medical analysis and diagnosis areas. Finally, their pros and cons as well as further development directions are also discussed.

This work presents the design of a simple and sensitive method for predicting 2,4-D (2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid) residue levels in green tea extract employing surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) coupled uninformative variable elimination-partial least squares (UVE-PLS). Herein, SERS active citrate functionalized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) with enhancement factor 1.51 × 108 was used to prepare cellulose paper (common office) templated SERS sensor for acquiring SERS spectra of 2,4-D. The principle of the work was based on the interaction between 2,4-D and citrate group of AgNPs via chlorine atoms in the concentration range 1.0 × 10-4 to 1.0 × 103 µg/g. Three different wavenumber selection chemometric algorithms were studied comparatively to build an optimum calibration model, among them UVE-PLS showed enhanced performance as evident from the RPD value of 6.01 and Rp = 0.9864. Under optimized experimental condition proposed paper-based SERS sensor exhibited detection limit and RSD of 1.0 × 10-4 µg/g and <5%, respectively. In addition, the validation results by HPLC method were satisfactory (p > 0.05).

Abstract
Black tea like other food crops is prone to mercury ion (Hg2+) contamination right from cultivation to industrial processing. Due to the dangerous health effects posed even in trace contents, sensitive detection and quantification sensors are required. This study employed the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) enhancement property of 4-aminothiophenol (4-ATP) as a signal turn off approach functionalized on Ag-Au alloyed nanoparticle to firstly detect Hg2+ in standard solutions and spiked tea samples. Different chemometric algorithms were applied on the acquired SERS and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) chemical reference data to select effective wavelengths and spectral variables in order to develop models to predict the Hg2+. Results indicated that Ag-Au/4-ATP SERS sensor combined with ant colony optimization partial least squares (ACO-PLS) exhibited the best correlation efficient and minimum errors for Hg2+ standard solutions (Rc = 0.984, Rp = 0.974, RMSEC = 0.157 μg/mL, RMSEP = 0.211 μg/mL) and spiked tea samples (Rc = 0.979, Rp = 0.963, RMSEC = 0.181 μg/g and RMSEP = 0.210 μg/g). The limit of detection of the proposed sensor was 4.12 × 10-7 μg/mL for Hg2+ standard solutions and 2.83 × 10-5 μg/g for Hg2+ spiked tea samples. High stability and reproducibility with relative standard deviation of 1.14% and 0.84% were detected. The potent strong relationship between the SERS sensor and the chemical reference method encourages the application of the developed chemometrics coupled SERS system for future monitoring and evaluation of Hg2+ in tea.

Abstract
Metal nanoparticles (NP) that exhibit localized surface plasmon resonance play an important role in metal-enhanced fluorescence (MEF) and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). Among the optical biosensors, MEF and SERS stand out to be the most sensitive techniques to detect a wide range of analytes from ions, biomolecules to macromolecules and microorganisms. Particularly, anisotropic metal NPs with strongly enhanced electric field at their sharp corners/edges under a wide range of excitation wavelengths are highly suitable for developing the ultrasensitive plasmon-enhanced biosensors. In this review, we first highlight the reliable methods for the synthesis of anisotropic gold NPs and silver NPs in high yield, as well as their alloys and composites with good control of size and shape. It is followed by the discussion of different sensing mechanisms and recent advances in the MEF and SERS biosensor designs. This includes the review of surface functionalization, bioconjugation and (directed/self) assembly methods as well as the selection/screening of specific biorecognition elements such as aptamers or antibodies for the highly selective bio-detection. The right combinations of metal nanoparticles, biorecognition element and assay design will lead to the successful development of MEF and SERS biosensors targeting different analytes both in-vitro and in-vivo. Finally, the prospects and challenges of metal-enhanced biosensors for future nanomedicine in achieving ultrasensitive and fast medical diagnostics, high-throughput drug discovery as well as effective and reliable theranostic treatment are discussed.

Abstract
The manipulation of the interaction between molecules and photonic-plasmonic hybrid structures is critical for the application of surface-enhanced spectroscopy (SES). Herein, we report a study on the mode coupling mechanism and SES performance in a typical optoplasmonic system constructed with a polystyrene microsphere (PS MS) resonator and gold nanoparticles (Au NPs). The mode coupling mechanism was found to be closely dependent on the relative positions of PS MS, Au NPs, and molecules in the optoplasmonic system, based on which selectively enhanced Raman and fluorescence signals of molecules can be realized via the collaboration of enhancement and quenching channels of the PS MS and Au NPs. We demonstrate two arrangements of the photonic-plasmonic hybrid structure, which can support fluorescence signals with sharp whispering-gallery modes and apparently enhanced Raman signals with relatively low detection limits and good robustness, respectively.

Abstract
This study reports an insightful portable vector network analyser (VNA)-based measurement technique for quick and selective detection of Hg2+ ions in nanomolar (nM) range using homocysteine (HCys)-functionalised quartz-crystal-microbalance (QCM) with cross-linked-pyridinedicarboxylic acid (PDCA). The excessive exposure to mercury can cause damage to many human organs, such as the brain, lungs, stomach, and kidneys, etc. Hence, the authors have proposed a portable experimental platform capable of achieving the detection in 20-30 min with a limit of detection (LOD) 0.1 ppb (0.498 nM) and a better dynamic range (0.498 nM-6.74 mM), which perfectly describes its excellent performance over other reported techniques. The detection time for various laboratory-based techniques is generally 12-24 h. The proposed method used the benefits of thin-film, nanoparticles (NPs), and QCM-based technology to overcome the limitation of NPs-based technique and have LOD of 0.1 ppb (0.1 μg/l) for selective Hg2+ ions detection which is many times less than the World Health Organization limit of 6 μg/l. The main advantage of the proposed QCM-based platform is its portability, excellent repeatability, millilitre sample volume requirement, and easy process flow, which makes it suitable as an early warning system for selective detection of mercury ions without any costly measuring instruments.

Abstract
With the globalization of food and its complicated networking system, a wide range of food contaminants is introduced into the food system which may happen accidentally, intentionally, or naturally. This situation has made food safety a critical global concern nowadays and urged the need for effective technologies capable of dealing with the detection of food contaminants as efficiently as possible. Hence, Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has been taken as one of the primary choices for this case, due to its extremely high sensitivity, rapidity, and fingerprinting interpretation capabilities which account for its competency to detect a molecule up to a single level. Here in this paper, we present a comprehensive review of various SERS-based novel approaches applied for direct and indirect detection of single and multiple chemical and microbial contaminants in food, food products as well as water. The aim of this paper is to arouse the interest of researchers by addressing recent SERS-based, novel achievements and developments related to the investigation of hazardous chemical and microbial contaminants in edible foods and water. The target chemical and microbial contaminants are antibiotics, pesticides, food adulterants, Toxins, bacteria, and viruses. In this paper, different aspects of SERS-based reports have been addressed including synthesis and use of various forms of SERS nanostructures for the detection of a specific analyte, the coupling of SERS with other analytical tools such as chromatographic methods, combining analyte capture and recognition strategies such as molecularly imprinted polymers and aptasensor as well as using multivariate statistical analyses such as principal component analysis (PCA)to distinguish between results. In addition, we also report some strengths and limitations of SERS as well as future viewpoints concerning its application in food safety.

Abstract
A fluorescent nanoprobe for Pb(II) has been developed by employing aptamer-functionalized upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and magnetic Fe3O4-modified (MNPs) gold nanoparticles (GNPs). First, aptamer-functionalized UCNPs and aptamer-functionalized magnetic GNPs were synthesized to obtained the fluorescent nanoprobe. The particles were combined by adding a complementary ssDNA. In the absence of Pb(II), the UCNPs, MNPs and GNPs are linked via complementary base pairing. This led to a decrease in the green upconversion fluorescence peaking at 547 nm (under 980 nm excitation). In the presence of Pb(II), the dsDNA between UCNPs and MNPs-GNPs is cleaved, and fluorescence recovers. This effect allows Pb(II) to be quantified, with a wide working range of 25-1400 nM and a lower detection limit of 5.7 nM. The nanoprobe gave satisfactory results when analyzing Pb(II) in tea and waste water.

Abstract
In this study, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) coupled with multivariate calibrations were employed to develop a rapid, simple and sensitive method for determination of mercury ions residues in dairy products. Initially, spherical Au@SiO2 core shell nanoparticles with highly enhancement effect were synthesized to serve as the SERS substrate. Afterwards, an optical sensor system, namely micro-Raman spectroscopy system, was constructed for rapid acquisition of Au@SiO2-mercury ions spectra. Then, ant colony optimization (ACO) and genetic algorithm (GA) were applied comparatively for selecting the characteristic variables from the Savitzky Golay-First derivative (SG-FD) processing data for subsequent quantitative analysis. Eventually, both linear (PLS and SW-MLR) and nonlinear (BPANN and BP-AdaBoost) methods were used for modeling. Experimental results showed that the variables selection methods significantly improved the model performance. Especially for the ACO algorithm, and the ACO-BP-AdaBoost model achieved the best results with the higher correlation coefficient of determination (R2 = 0.997), and lower root-mean-square error of prediction (RMSEP = 0.092) than other quantification models. Paired sample t-test exhibited no statistically significant difference (sig > 0.05) between the reference concentrations determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and the predicted concentrations by ACO-BP-AdaBoost model in adulterated foodstuffs.

Abstract
A facile and general strategy is presented for homogenous and ultrathin metal sulfide wrapping on plasmonic metal (PM) nanoparticles (NPs) based on a thiourea-induced isotropic shell growth. This strategy is typically implemented just via adding the thiourea into pre-formed PM colloidal solutions containing target metal ions. The validity of this strategy is demonstrated by taking the wrapped NPs with Au core and CuS shell or Au@CuS NPs as an example. They are successfully fabricated via adding the thiourea and Cu2+ solutions into pre-formed Au NP colloidal solution. The CuS shell layer is highly homogenous (<10% in relative standard deviation of shell thickness), regardless of the NPs' shape or curvature. The shell thickness can be controlled from tens down to 0.5 nm just by the addition of different amounts of shell precursors. The formation of the shell layer on the Au NPs can be attributed to the alternative deposition of Cu2+ and S2- ions on the thiourea-modified surface of Au NPs in the solution, which induces the isotropic shell growth. Further, this strategy is of good universality. Many other sulfide-wrapped PM NPs, such as Ag@CuS, Au@PtS2, Au@HgS, Ag@Ag2S NPs, and Ag@CuS nanorods, have been successfully obtained with homogeneous and ultrathin shells. Importantly, such ultrathin sulfide-wrapped PM NPs can be used for surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based detection of trace heavy-metal ions with strong anti-interference via the ion exchange process between the metal sulfide shell and heavy-metal ions. This study provides a simple and controllable route for wrapping the homogenous and ultrathin sulfide layers on the PM NPs, and such wrapped NPs have good practical applications in the SERS-based detection of trace heavy-metal ions.

Abstract
This study focused on the fabrication of a rapid, highly sensitive and inexpensive technique for the quantification of imidacloprid residue in green tea, based on surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) using highly roughned surface flower shaped silver nanostructure (as SERS substrate) coupled with the chemometrics algorithm. The basic principle of this method is imidacloprid yielded SERS signal after adsorption on Ag-NF under laser excitation by the electromagnetic enhancement and the intensity of the peak is proportional to the concentration ranging from 1.0 × 103 to 1.0 × 10-4 μg/mL. Among the models used, the GA-PLS (Genetic algorithm-partial least square) exhibited superiority to quantify imidacloprid residue in green tea. The model achieved Rp (correlation coefficient) of 0.9702 with RPD of 4.95% in the test set and RSD for precision recorded up to 4.50%. Therefore, the proposed sensor could be employed to quantify imidacloprid residue in green tea for the safeguarding of quality and human health.

Abstract
Pesticide residue in food is of grave concern in recent years. In this paper, a rapid, sensitive, SERS (Surface-enhanced Raman scattering) active reduced-graphene-oxide-gold-nano-star (rGO-NS) nano-composite nanosensor was developed for the detection of acetamiprid (AC) residue in green tea. Different concentrations of AC combined with rGO-NS nano-composite electro-statically, yielded a strong SERS signal linearly with increasing concentration of AC ranging from 1.0 × 10−4 to 1.0 × 103 μg/mL indicating the potential of rGO-NS nanocomposite to detect AC in green tea. Genetic algorithm-partial least squares regression (GA-PLS) algorithm was used to develop a quantitative model for AC residue prediction. The GA-PLS model achieved a correlation coefficient (Rc) of 0.9772 and recovery of the real sample of 97.06%–115.88% and RSD of 5.98% using the developed method. The overall results demonstrated that Raman spectroscopy combined with SERS active rGO-NS nanocomposite could be utilized to determine AC residue in green tea to achieve quality and safety.

Abstract
Food safety has become an important public health issue in both developed and developing countries. However, as the foodborne illnesses caused by the pollution of foodborne pathogens occurred frequently, which seriously endangered the safety and health of human beings. More importantly, the traditional techniques, such as PCR and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, are accurate and effective, but their pretreatments are complex and time-consuming. Therefore, how to detect foodborne pathogens quickly and sensitively has become the key to control food safety. Because of its sensitivity, rapidity, and non-destructive damage to the sample, the surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is considered to be a powerful testing technology that is widely used to different fields. This review aims to give a systematic and comprehensive understanding of SERS for rapid detection of pathogen bacteria. First, the related concepts of SERS are stated, such as its work principal, active substrate, and biochemical origins of the detection of bacteria by SERS. Then the latest progress and applications in food safety, from detection and characterization of targets in label-free method to label method, is summarized. The advantages and limitations of different SERS substrates and methods are discussed. Finally, there are still several hurdles for the further development of SERS techniques into real-world applications. This review comes up with the perspectives on the future trends of the SERS technique in the field of foodborne pathogens detection and some problems to be solved urgently. Therefore, the purpose is mainly to understand the detection of foodborne pathogens and to make further emphasis on the importance of SERS techniques.
