Abstract
C-Reaction protein (CRP) is a marker of nonspecific immunity for vital signs and wound assessment, and it can be used to diagnose infections in clinical medicine. However, measuring CRP level currently requires hospital-based instruments, high-cost reagents, and a complex process, all of which have limited its full capabilities for self-detection, a growing trend in modern medicine. In this study, we developed a novel smartphone-based device using advanced methods of magnetoelastic immunosensing to mitigate these limitations. We combined a system-on-chip (SoC) hardware architecture with smartphone apps to realize the sampling of resonance frequency shift on magnetoelastic chips, which can determine the ultra-sensitivity to mass change caused by the binding of anti-CRP antibody and CRP. Through detecting a multi-group of samples, we found that the resonance frequency shift was linearly proportional to the CRP concentration in the range from 0.1 to 100 μg mL-1, with a sensitivity of 12.90 Hz μg-1 mL-1 and a detection limit of 2.349 × 10-4 μg mL-1. Meanwhile, compared with the large-scale instrument used in clinical settings, the performance of our device was stable and significantly more portable, rapid and cost-effective, offering excellent potential for modern home-based diagnosis.

Abstract
Monitoring of food quality, in particular, milk quality, is critical in order to maintain food safety and human health. To guarantee quality and safety of milk products and at the same time deliver those as soon as possible, rapid analysis methods as well as sensitive, reliable, cost-effective, easy-to-use devices and systems for process control and milk spoilage detection are needed. In this paper, we review different rapid methods, sensors and commercial systems for milk spoilage and microorganism detection. The main focus lies on chemical sensors and biosensors for detection/monitoring of the well-known indicators associated with bacterial growth and milk spoilage such as changes in pH value, conductivity/impedance, adenosine triphosphate level, concentration of dissolved oxygen and produced CO2. These sensors offer several advantages, like high sensitivity, fast response time, minimal sample preparation, miniaturization and ability for real-time monitoring of milk spoilage. In addition, electronic-nose- and electronic-tongue systems for the detection of characteristic volatile and non-volatile compounds related to microbial growth and milk spoilage are described. Finally, wireless sensors and color indicators for intelligent packaging are discussed.

Abstract
In this work, low-field proton (1H) and sodium (23Na) relaxation and diffusion measurements are used to detect and classify different types of food products. A compact and low-cost system based on a small 0.5 T permanent magnet has been developed to autonomously authenticate such products. The system uses a simple but efficient double-tuned matching network suitable for 1H/23Na NMR. Various machine learning algorithms are used to classify food samples based on T1-T2 and D-T2 data generated by the system, and the accuracy and prediction speed of these algorithms are studied in detail. The influence of temperature drift upon prediction accuracy is also studied. Experimental results demonstrate reliable classification of cooking oils, milk, and soy sauces.

Abstract
Foodborne illness outbreaks caused by the consumption of food contaminated with harmful bacteria has drastically increased in the past decades. Therefore, detection of harmful bacteria in the food has become an important factor for the recognition and prevention of problems associated with food safety and public health. Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most commonly isolated foodborne pathogen and it is considered as a major cause of foodborne illnesses worldwide. A number of different methods have been developed for the detection and identification of S. aureus in food samples. However, some of these methods are laborious and time-consuming and are not suitable for on-site applications. Therefore, it is highly important to develop rapid and more approachable detection methods. In the last decade, biosensors have gained popularity as an attractive alternative method and now considered as one of most rapid and on-site applicable methods. An overview of the biosensor based methods used for the detection of S. aureus is presented herein. This review focuses on the state-of-the-art biosensor methods towards the detection and quantification of S. aureus, and discusses the most commonly used biosensor methods based on the transducing mode, such as electrochemical, optical, and mass-based biosensors.

Abstract
This review paper discusses opportunities for intelligent packaging for monitoring directly or indirectly quality attributes of perishable packaged foods. The possible roles of intelligent packaging as a tool in supply chain management are discussed as well as the barriers to implement this kind of technology in commercial applications. Cases on pasteurized milk and fresh cod fillets illustrate the application of different intelligent packaging concepts to monitor and estimate quality attributes. Conditions influencing quality (e.g., temperature-time) can be monitored to predict the quality of perishable products when the initial quality is known and rather constant (e.g., pasteurized milk). Products with a highly variable initial quality (e.g., fresh fish) require sensors monitoring compounds correlated with quality.

Abstract
Market demands for new sensors for food quality and safety stimulate the development of new sensing technologies that can provide an unobtrusive sensor form, battery-free operation, and minimal sensor cost. Intelligent labeling of food products to indicate and report their freshness and other conditions is one important possible application of such new sensors. This study applied passive (battery-free) radio frequency identification (RFID) sensors for the highly sensitive and selective detection of food freshness and bacterial growth. In these sensors, the electric field generated in the RFID sensor antenna extends from the plane of the RFID sensor and is affected by the ambient environment, providing the opportunity for sensing. This environment may be in the form of a food sample within the electric field of the sensing region or a sensing film deposited onto the sensor antenna. Examples of applications include monitoring of milk freshness, fish freshness, and bacterial growth in a solution. Unlike other food freshness monitoring approaches that require a thin film battery for operation of an RFID sensor and fabrication of custom-made sensors, the passive RFID sensing approach developed here combines the advantages of both battery-free and cost-effective sensor design and offers response selectivity that is impossible to achieve with other individual sensors.

Abstract
The preparation and characteristics of a disposable amperometric magnetoimmunosensor, based on the use of functionalized magnetic beads (MBs) and gold screen-printed electrodes (Au/SPEs), for the specific detection and quantification of Staphylococcal protein A (ProtA) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is reported. An antiProtA antibody was immobilized onto ProtA-modified MBs, and a competitive immunoassay involving ProtA antigen labelled with HRP was performed. The resulting modified MBs were captured by a magnetic field on the surface of tetrathiafulvalene-modified Au/SPEs and the amperometric response obtained at -0.15 V vs the silver pseudo-reference electrode of the Au/SPEs after the addition of H2O2 was used as transduction signal. The developed methodology showed very low limits of detection (1 cfu S. aureus/mL of raw milk samples), and a good selectivity against the most commonly involved foodborne pathogens originating from milk. These features, together with a short analysis time (2 h), the simplicity, and easy automation and miniaturization of the required instrumentation make the developed methodology a promising alternative in the development of devices for on-site analysis.

Abstract
Thick-film magnetoelastic sensors vibrate mechanically in response to a time varying magnetic excitation field. The mechanical vibrations of the magnetostrictive magnetoelastic material launch, in turn, a magnetic field by which the sensor can be monitored. Magnetic field telemetry enables contact-less, remote-query operation that has enabled many practical uses of the sensor platform. This paper builds upon a review paper we published in Sensors in 2002 (Grimes, C.A.; et al. Sensors2002, 2, 294–313), presenting a comprehensive review on the theory, operating principles, instrumentation and key applications of magnetoelastic sensing technology.

Abstract
Escherichia coli O157:H7 is detected using a remote-query (wireless, passive) magnetoelastic sensor platform to which a 1 microm thick layer of Bayhydrol 110 and then a layer of functionalized mannose is applied. The multivalent binding of lectin concanavalin A (Con A) to the E. coli surface O-antigen and mannose favors the strong adhesion of E. coli to the mannose-modified magnetoelastic sensor; E. coli is rigidly and strongly attached on the mannose-modified sensor through Con A, which works as a bridge to bind E. coli to the mannose-modified sensor surface. As E. coli is bound to the sensor, its resonance frequency shifts, enabling quantification of E. coli concentration with a limit of detection of 60 cells/mL and a linear logarithmic response range of 6.0 x 10(1) to 6.1 x 10(9) cells/mL. The analysis can be directly conducted without incubation and completed in 3 h or less.
