Food Chem 2024; 457:140071. [PMID: 38905827 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.140071] [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: 02/22/2024] [Revised: 05/26/2024] [Accepted: 06/09/2024] [Indexed: 06/23/2024]
Abstract
In this study, we have developed a novel, hypersensitive, and ultraselective electrochemical sensor containing thermally annealed gold-silver alloy nanoporous matrices (TA-Au-Ag-ANpM) integrated with f-MWCNTs-CPE and poly(l-serine) nanocomposites for the simultaneous detection of sulfathiazole (SFT) and sulfamethoxazole (SFM) residues in honey, beef, and egg samples. TA-Au-Ag-ANpM/f-MWCNTs-CPE/poly(l-serine) was characterized using an extensive array of analytical (UV-Vis, FT-IR, XRD, SEM, and EDX), and electrochemical (EIS, CV and SWV) techniques. It exhibited outstanding performance over a wide linear range, from 4.0 pM to 490 μM for SFT and 4.0 pM to 520 μM for SFM, with picomolar detection and quantification limits (0.53 pM and 1.75 pM for SFT, 0.41 pM and 1.35 pM for SFM, respectively). The sensor demonstrated exceptional repeatability, reproducibility, and anti-interference capability, with percentage recovery of 95.6-102.4% in food samples and RSD below 5%. Therefore, the developed sensor is an ideal tool to address the current antibiotic residue crisis in food sources.

Food Chem 2024; 448:139089. [PMID: 38518446 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.139089] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2024] [Revised: 03/11/2024] [Accepted: 03/18/2024] [Indexed: 03/24/2024]
Abstract
Self-assembled Eu-dipeptide (tryptophan-phenylalanine) microparticles with multi-emission fluorescence was prepared and modified with a single-stranded DNA corresponding to the sulfamethazine (SMZ) adapter (Eu-PMPs@cDNA). Aptamer-functionalized magnetic Fe3O4 (MNPs@aptamer) was used to specifically bind the target SMZ. Using Eu-PMPs@cDNA as fluorescent signal probe and MNPs@aptamer as catcher, a noncompetitive fluorescence sensing strategy was developed for determination of SMZ with good sensitivity, accuracy, selectivity, and stability. Under the optimized conditions, fluorescence increases linearly in the 0-20 ng/mL SMZ concentration range, and the detection limit is 0.014 ng/mL. The fluorescence sensing method was applied to analysis of water and fish muscle samples, and recoveries ranged from 81.78 to 119.46 % with relative standard deviations below 4.2 %. This study offered a reliable and sensitive fluorescence sensing strategy for SMZ determination in food samples, which owns great potential for wide-ranging application in harmful compounds assay by simply changing the type of aptamer and its complementary single-stranded DNA.

Abstract
Sulfonamide antibiotics (SAs) have been widely used as antibacterial drugs for the prevention and treatment of livestock and poultry diseases, but they seriously threaten human health because they can accumulate in humans. Therefore, it is highly important to develop methods for monitoring sulfonamide residues in aquaculture and food. In this research, based on the generation of porous carbon (PC) by the pyrolysis of sodium citrate, magnetic porous carbon (PC@Fe3O4) was synthesized by a solvothermal method and used as an adsorbent for the magnetic solid-phase extraction of SAs. The effects of the proportion of PC in PC@Fe3O4, adsorbent dosage, adsorption time, eluent type, extraction pH, salt concentration and eluent dosage on the extraction efficiency were systematically studied. The adsorption performance and behavior of PC@Fe3O4 on SAs were evaluated using adsorption kinetics and adsorption isotherms, and the adsorption mechanism was preliminarily discussed. Under optimal conditions, combined with capillary electrophoresis diode array detection, a sensitive detection method for SAs was developed. The proposed method can be used for the determination of six SAs in fishpond water and milk samples, with a linear range of 0.5-200 ng mL-1, detection limits of 0.24-0.34 ng mL-1, and spiked recoveries of 85.9-109.0 %.

Abstract
Discovering the balance between toxicity and efficacy for many drugs requires therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of their concentrations in the blood. Here, a hot-embossed microfluidic device with a new design integrated to a nanofracture is presented for purification of blood samples from numerous proteins and cells, allowing to the separation of small molecules from blood matrix. The device was used to separate and quantitatively detect tamsulosin drug after derivatization with fluorescamine reagent, allowing converting it from a neutral molecule into a charged fluorescent complex under the experimental conditions, and thus its separation by electrophoresis. The device is portable and easy operated, and the presented method showed good linearity (R2 = 0.9948) over a concentration range of 0.1-1 μg/mL. The relative standard deviation (RSD%) was below 10% (n = 3), indicating good precisions, and the limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantitation (LOQ) values were estimated to be 0.1 and 0.55 μg/mL, respectively. Whole blood samples from 10 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) were analyzed, showing good percentage recoveries of tamsulosin in whole blood. This point-of-care (POC), low-cost method could increase the convenience of patients and doctors, make therapies safer, and make TDM available in different regions and places.

Abstract
The large-scale use of sulfonamide antimicrobials in human and veterinary medicine has seriously endangered the ecological environment and human health. The objective of this study was to develop and validate a simple and robust method for the simultaneous determination of seventeen sulfonamides in water using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry coupled with fully automated solid-phase extraction. Seventeen isotope-labeled internal standards for sulfonamides were used to correct matrix effects. Several parameters affecting extraction efficiency were systematically optimized, and the enrichment factors were up to 982-1033 and only requiring about 60 min per six samples. Under the optimized conditions, this method manifested good linearity (0.05-100 μg/L), high sensitivity (detection limits: 0.01-0.05 ng/L), and satisfactory recoveries (79-118%) with acceptable relative standard deviations (0.3-14.5%, n = 5). The developed method can be successfully utilized for the determination of 17 sulfonamides in pure water, tap water, river water, and seawater. In total, six and seven sulfonamides were detected in river water and seawater, respectively, with a total concentration of 8.157-29.676 ng/L and 1.683-36.955 ng/L, respectively, and sulfamethoxazole was the predominant congener.

Abstract
Antibiotic pollution is becoming an increasingly severe threat globally. Antibiotics have emerged as a new class of environmental pollutants due to their expanding usage and indiscriminate application in animal husbandry as growth boosters. Contamination of aquatic ecosystems by antibiotics can have a variety of negative impacts on the microbial flora of these water bodies, as well as lead to the development and spread of antibiotic-resistant genes. Various strategies for removing antibiotics from aqueous systems and environments have been developed. Many of these approaches, however, are constrained by their high operating costs and the generation of secondary pollutants. This review aims to summarize research on the distribution and effects of antibiotics in aquatic environments, their interaction with other emerging contaminants, and their remediation strategy. The ecological risks associated with antibiotics in aquatic ecosystems and the need for more effective monitoring and detection system are also highlighted.

Abstract
In this work, a novel, cost-effective, and eco-friendly electrochemical (EC) nanosensor was fabricated for the simultaneous detection of daptomycin (DAP) and meropenem (MEROP). EC methods have been developed for the determination of antibiotics. In this context, green synthesized copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) using Moringa oleifera plant extract were used as electrode modifiers. The incorporation of CuNPs was proposed to enhance the sensitivity and allow the simultaneous quantification of both antibiotics in water. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy, UV-visible spectroscopy, and field emission scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (FESEM-EDX) were employed to characterize CuNPs. Physical adsorption of 20.0 nm (±2.2 nm) spherical CuNPs on the surface of screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs) induced a remarkable electrocatalytic effect. Indeed, the detection of both antibiotics exhibited a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.01 g L-1. The response to various interfering species was assessed. Finally, the quantification of DAP and MEROP in drinking water was demonstrated, confirming the potential of the developed sensor for environmental monitoring applications.
