Abstract
Malathion causes a serious threat to human health due to its widespread use in the environment. Herein, a novel and stable smartphone-integrated colorimetric biosensor for malathion detection is firstly established based on aptamer-enhanced laccase-mimicking activity. The results indicate that the M17-F aptamer can increase the affinity of Ag2O nanoparticles to the substrate 2,4-dichlorophenol and enhance their laccase-mimicking activity. Thus, abundant semiquinone radicals are produced in the catalytic system, which are combined with chromogenic agent to generate dark red products. The corresponding RGB values for the colour change of the solution can be easily obtained using smartphones, which is used for the rapid detection of malathion. The established biosensor for malathion has a limit of detection as low as 5.85 nmol·L-1, and displays good selectivity for other competitive pesticides. Moreover, further studies have verified the applicability of the biosensor in actual samples, indicating that it may have the potential for application in malathion detection in food.

Abstract
The primary goal of our review was to systematically explore and compare the state-of-the-art methodologies employed in the detection of pesticides, a critical component of global food safety initiatives. New approach methods in the fields of luminescent nanosensors, chromatography, terahertz spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy are discussed as precise, rapid, and versatile strategies for pesticide detection in food items and agroecological samples. Luminescent nanosensors emerge as powerful tools, noted for their portability and unparalleled sensitivity and real-time monitoring capabilities. Liquid and gas chromatography coupled to spectroscopic detectors, stalwarts in the analytical chemistry field, are lauded for their precision, wide applicability, and validation in diverse regulatory environments. Terahertz spectroscopy offers unique advantages such as noninvasive testing, profound penetration depth, and bulk sample handling. Meanwhile, Raman spectroscopy stands out with its nondestructive nature, its ability to detect even trace amounts of pesticides, and its minimal requirement for sample preparation. While acknowledging the maturity and robustness of these techniques, our review underscores the importance of persistent innovation. These methodologies' significance extends beyond their present functions, highlighting their adaptability to meet ever-evolving challenges. Environ Toxicol Chem 2024;43:1468-1484. © 2024 The Authors.

Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 249:125934. [PMID: 37482160 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.125934] [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: 03/01/2023] [Revised: 07/03/2023] [Accepted: 07/20/2023] [Indexed: 07/25/2023]
Abstract
Heparinase is the only mammalian endoglycosidase that breaks down the commonly used blood-anticoagulant heparin into therapeutically relevant low-molecular-weight-heparin. Importantly, heparinase has been considered a malignant disease diagnostic marker. Thus, it is essential to develop detection scheme for heparinase. However, optical methods for heparinase determination are limited. In the present work, we report a turn-on fluorescence sensor for detection of heparinase that utilizes heparin-templated aggregation of a tetra-cationic porphyrin derivative, TMPyP4+, as a sensing framework. Heparinase cleaves the glycosidic linkage between hexosamine and uronic acid in the structure of heparin to destroy its polyelectrolytic nature that originally causes the aggregation of TMPyP4+. Thus, heparinase leads to dissociation of TMPyP4+ aggregates and generates an optical signal. This system leads to a sensitive and selective response towards heparinase with a Limit of Detection (LOD) of 0.3 pmol/L. Further, the same system is demonstrated to sense a trace amount of Oversulfated Chondrootin Sulphate (OSCS) in heparin, which is a heparin adulterant, by utilizing the fact that OSCS serves as an inhibitor for heparinase activity, which leads to reverse modulation in the photo-physical features of the monomer/aggregate equilibrium of the TMPyP4+-heparin-heparinase system. The sensing mechanism has been thoroughly demonstrated by ground-state absorption, steady-state emission, and time-resolved emission measurements. The selectivity of the sensor was tested using lysozyme, α-amylase, pepsin, trypsin, lipase, and glucose oxidase in the heparinase selectivity study and the method is also validated using another method reported in the literature. The study provides a new approach for the development of optical methods for the detection of heparinase and oversulfated chondroitin sulfate, which is currently limited.

Abstract
Fluorescent nanoprobes show similar fluorescence properties to traditional organic dyes, but the addition of nanotechnology accurately controls the size, shape, chemical composition, and surface chemistry of the nanoprobes with unique characteristics and properties, such as bright luminescence, high photostability, and strong biocompatibility. For example, modifying aptamers or antibodies on a fluorescent nanoprobe provides high selectivity and specificity for different objects to be tested. Fluorescence intensity, life, and other parameters of targets can be changed by different sensing mechanisms based on the unique structural and optical characteristics of fluorescent nanoprobes. What's more, the detection of fluorescent nanoprobes is cost-saving, simple, and offers great advantages in rapid food detection. Sensing mechanisms of fluorescent nanoprobes were introduced in this paper, focusing on the application progress in pesticide residues, veterinary drug residues, heavy metals, microbes, mycotoxins, and other substances in food safety detection in recent years. A brief outlook for future development was provided as well.

Foods 2023; 12:2487.

Abstract
Glyphosate has excellent herbicidal activity, and its extensive use may induce residue in the environment and enter into humans living through the food chain, causing negative impact. Here, water-soluble 1.55 nm size nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots (NCDs) with strong blue fluorescence were synthesized using sodium citrate and adenine. The maximum excitation and emission wavelengths of NCDs were 380 nm and 440 nm, respectively. The above synthesized NCDs were first used for the construction of a fluorescence sensor for glyphosate detection. It was found that Cu2+ could quench the fluorescence of NCDs effectively through the photoinduced electron transfer (PET) process, which was confirmed using fluorescence lifetime measurements. Additionally, the fluorescence was restored with the addition of glyphosate. Hence, a sensitive turn-on fluorescence sensor based on NCDs/Cu2+ for glyphosate analysis was developed. The LODs of glyphosate for water and rice samples were recorded as 0.021 μg/mL and 0.049 μg/mL, respectively. The sensor was applied successfully for ultrasensitive and selective detection of glyphosate in environmental water and rice samples with satisfied recoveries from 82.1% to 113.0% using a simple sample pretreatment technique. The proposed strategy can provide a significant potential for monitoring glyphosate residue in water and agricultural product samples.

Abstract
Terbium metal-organic framework (TbMOF) was prepared by microwave method with 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid as ligand. With HAuCl4 as precursor and NaBH4 as reducing agent, TbMOF-loaded gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) catalyst (TbMOF@Au1) was prepared rapidly and characterized by transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. It was found that TbMOF@Au1 has a strong catalytic effect on the HAuCl4-Cys nanoreaction, and the produced AuNPs have a strong resonant Rayleigh scattering (RRS) peak and surface plasmon resonance absorption (Abs) peak at 370 nm and 550 nm, respectively. With the addition of the molecular probe Victoria blue 4R (VB4r), AuNPs have a strong surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) effect, the target analyte molecules are trapped in between the nanoparticles and a hot spot effect created in the process resulting in an extremely high SERS signal. A new SERS/RRS/Abs triple-mode analysis method for Malathion (MAL) was established by coupling this new TbMOF@Au1 catalytic indicator reaction with MAL aptamer (Apt) reaction, and its SERS detection limit was 0.21 ng/mL. The SERS quantitative analysis method has been applied to the analysis of fruit samples with the recovery of 92.6-106.6 % and the precision of 2.72-8.16 %.

Abstract
Development of high-performance fluorescence sensors for pesticide is highly urgent but remains a grand challenge. It is due to that most of known fluorescence sensors detect pesticides based on enzyme-inhibited strategy, which requires high-price cholinesterase, suffers from serious interference of reductive materials, and can't difference pesticides with each other; the known aptamer-based fluorescence ones entail tool enzymes or nanomaterials to transducer/amplify the signal and demand signalers to be tagged in nucleic acid, which are expensive and intricate. Herein, we develop a novel aptamer-based fluorescence system for label-free, enzyme-free and highly sensitive detection of pesticide (profenofos) based on target-initiated hybridization chain reaction (HCR)-assisted signal amplification and specific intercalation of N-methylmesoporphyrin IX (NMM) in G-quadruplex DNA. Hairpin probe ON1 recognizes profenofos to generate profenofos@ON1 complex, which switches the HCR to yield multiple G-quadruplex DNA, consequently making large numbers of NMM be locked. In comparison with profenofos absence, a sharply improved fluorescence signal was recorded and it was dependent on profenofos dose. Hence, label-free, enzyme-free and highly sensitive detection of profenofos is achieved with limit of detection of 0.085 nM, which compared favorably with or superior to those of known fluorescence methods. Furthermore, the present method was applied to determine the profenofos residue in rice with agreeable result, and will provide more valuable information for guaranteeing the pesticide-related food safety.

Abstract
Herein, three patterns for the detection of fenpyroximate based on the response signal of gold nanoparticles are described. The strong interaction between the guanidine group of arginine-modified gold nanoparticles and the ester group of fenpyroximate led to the aggregation of the nanoparticles and to a variation of ultraviolet-visible light spectrum and color of the solution. Sensors were constructed based on the correlation of the concentration of fenpyroximate with the absorbance ratio (A650/A525) and the R value was obtained by extracting the color of the test solution by using a smartphone to take a photo of the solution, which was then analyzed by colorimeter software. The absorbance ratio increased linearly in the range of 0.225-0.375 mg L-1 and the limit of detection was 0.215 mg L-1, while the R value declined linearly in the range of 0.20-0.40 mg L-1 and the limit of detection was 0.21 mg L-1. Further, the gold nanoparticles could cause a fluorescence quenching of fluorescent dyes, such as rhodamine B, and it was found that the fluorescence could be quenched and then restored after aggregation; therefore, a fluorescence method based on fluorescence "off-on" was constructed, and the fluorescence quenching was found to increase linearly in the range of 0.0-1.0 mg L-1 and the limit of detection was 0.013 mg L-1. These three patterns indicated highly selective and sensitive response signals for fenpyroximate, and all were applied to the detection of fenpyroximate in apple juice, pear juice, and environmental water samples, with the results showing that the three methods could be mutually verified, with the recoveries ranging from 94.15% to 110.65%.

Abstract
Food poisoning is a gastrointestinal illness caused by food-borne enterotoxin produced by the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus. The effective dose of Staphylococcal enterotoxin 'B' (SEB) is estimated to be 0.4 ng/kg of body weight, whereas the 50 % lethal dose is found to be 20 ng/kg of body weight for humans exposed by the inhalation route. The present report highlights the development of a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) based assay for the detection of Staphylococcal enterotoxin. Highly fluorescent, aqueous quantum dots were synthesized and conjugated with Staphylococcal enterotoxin 'B' specific bioreceptors. SEB specific aptamer and SEB antibody were labeled with fluorescent quantum dots for recognizing and binding two separate epitopes in the SEB. A combination of two probes against different epitopic regions in a homogeneous sandwich assay format enhanced the sensitivity and specificity of SEB detection. In the presence of the enterotoxin, both the aptamer and antibody came in close proximity with each other and FRET was observed. A linear decrease in the fluorescence at 562 nm and a corresponding increase in the signal at 644 nm was observed with increasing concentrations of SEB, when excited at the absorption maximum of quantum dots. The limit of detection for the developed assay obtained was less than 1 ng/ml. The method was employed in apple juice and quantitated using Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). The designed assay was rapid and robust and can be extrapolated as a platform for the detection of various disease-causing agents of biomedical significance.

Abstract
Residues of organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) raise considerable concern, while identifying OPs from unknown sources is still a challenge to onsite fluorescence techniques. Herein, a dual-emission-capture sensor module, based on a TPB-DMTP@S-CDs/MnO2 fluorescence composite, is developed for OP fingerprint recognition. TPB-DMTP@S-CDs/MnO2, synthesized by a hydrothermal method and self-assembly, is spectrographically validated as a dual-wavelength fluorescence source. OP-sensitive catalysis (acetylcholinesterase on acetylthiocholine chloride) is designed to regulate fluorescence by decomposing quenchable MnO2. A flexibly fabricated sensor module supports the optimal dual-wavelength fluorescence excitations and captures and converts fluorescence emissions into equivalent photocurrents for feasible access. The most prominent finding is that dual-fluorescence emissions alternatively respond to levels, species, and multi-pH pretreatments of OPs due to varied MnO2 sizes and distributions. Therefore, OP fingerprint recognition is conducted by refining the multidimensional information from fluorescence-triggered photocurrents and preset hydrolyzation using principal component analysis and the rule of maximum covariance. The recommended method provides a wide dynamic range (1 × 10-6 ∼ 12 μg mL-1), a good limit of detection (7.9 × 10-7 μg mL-1), 15-day stability, and good selectivity to guarantee fingerprint recognition. For laboratory and natural samples, this method credibly identifies a single kind of OPs from multiple species at trace levels (10-5 μg mL-1) and performs well in two-component and multicomponent analyses.

Biosens Bioelectron 2023; 219:114771.

Abstract
Chemical and biological contaminants are of primary concern in ensuring seafood safety. Rapid detection of such contaminants is needed to keep us safe from being affected. For over three decades, immunoassay (IA) technology has been used for the detection of contaminants in seafood products. However, limitations inherent to antibody generation against small molecular targets that cannot elicit an immune response, along with the instability of antibodies under ambient conditions greatly limit their wider application for developing robust detection and monitoring tools, particularly for non-biomedical applications. As an alternative, aptamer-based biosensors (aptasensors) have emerged as a powerful yet robust analytical tool for the detection of a wide range of analytes. Due to the high specificity of aptamers in recognising targets ranging from small molecules to large proteins and even whole cells, these have been suggested to be viable molecular recognition elements (MREs) in the development of new diagnostic and biosensing tools for detecting a wide range of contaminants including heavy metals, antibiotics, pesticides, pathogens and biotoxins. In this review, we discuss the recent progress made in the field of aptasensors for detection of contaminants in seafood products with a view of effectively managing their potential human health hazards. A critical outlook is also provided to facilitate translation of aptasensors from academic laboratories to the mainstream seafood industry and consumer applications.

Abstract
Biosensors always respond to the targets of interest in a specific manner, employing biological or bio-mimic recognition elements such as antibodies and aptamers. Inspired by target recognition in nature, an aptamer-mediated, gold nanoparticle-based sensing approach is developed in this work for effective determination of malathion. The sensing system consists of negatively charged aptamer probes, and polycationic proteins, protamine, as well as exceptional colorimetric nanoprobes, barely gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). Protamine molecules bound to aptamer probes hinder the aggregation of AuNPs, while no such inhibition is maintained when aptamer-specific malathion is introduced into the solution, thus leading to the solution colour change from red to blue observable by the naked eye. The assay is accomplished via a mix-and-measure step within 40 min with a detection limit as low as 1.48 μg/L (3σ/s rule). The assay method also exhibits high selectivity and good applicability for the quantification of malathion in tap water with recovery rates of 98.9%-109.4%. Additionally, the good detection accuracy is also confirmed by the high-performance liquid chromatography method. Therefore, the non-enzymatic, label- and device-free characteristics make it a robust tool for malathion assay in agricultural, environmental, and medical fields.

Abstract
A self-enhanced electrochemical luminescence (ECL) composite material g-C3N4-CdTe QDs was prepared. The combination of g-C3N4 and CdTe QDs can amplify the ECL signal and improve the stability. Based on this discovery, g-C3N4-CdTe QDs and acetylcholine esterase (AChE) were used to construct an ECL sensor for organophosphorus pesticides (OP) detection. The sensor showed a strong initial ECL signal in PBS containing S2O82-. It is because that g-C3N4 not only acts as a co-reaction promoter to amplify the ECL signal of the CdTe QDs/S2O82- system but also acts as a carrier with large specific surface area to adsorb more CdTe QDs and improve the sensitivity of the sensor. The reaction of AChE and acetylthiocholine (ATCl) was hindered by organophosphorus pesticides (OPs). The ECL signal was enhanced by the addition of OPs, and a linear relationship was displayed between the increasing value and the concentration of malathion. A good linear range from 2.52 × 10-13 to 2.52 × 10-8 mol L-1 was obtained and the limit of detection was 8.4 × 10-14 mol L-1 under optimized experimental conditions. The results indicated that the sensor had promising applications for the detection of OPs in vegetable samples.

Abstract
There has been a rise in pesticide use as a result of the growing industrialization of agriculture. Organophosphorus pesticides have been widely applied as agricultural and domestic pest control agents for nearly five decades, and they remain as health and environmental hazards in water supplies, vegetables, fruits, and processed foods causing serious foodborne illness. Thus, the rapid and reliable detection of these harmful organophosphorus toxins with excellent sensitivity and selectivity is of utmost importance. Aptasensors are biosensors based on aptamers, which exhibit exceptional recognition capability for a variety of targets. Aptasensors offer numerous advantages over conventional approaches, including increased sensitivity, selectivity, design flexibility, and cost-effectiveness. As a result, interest in developing aptasensors continues to expand. This paper discusses the historical and modern advancements of aptasensors through the use of nanotechnology to enhance the signal, resulting in high sensitivity and detection accuracy. More importantly, this review summarizes the principles and strategies underlying different organophosphorus aptasensors, including electrochemical, electrochemiluminescent, fluorescent, and colorimetric ones.

Abstract
The rapid development of aptamers has helped address the challenges presented by the wide existed pesticides contaminations. Screening of aptamers with excellent performance is a prerequisite for successfully constructing biosensors, while further tailoring of aptamers with enhanced activity greatly improved the assay performance. Firstly, this paper reviewed the advanced screening strategies for pesticides aptamers, including immobilization screening that preserves the native structures of targets, non-immobilized screening based on nanomaterials, capillary electrophoresis-systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (CE-SELEX), virtual screening in silico, high-throughput selection, and rational secondary library generation methods, which contributed significantly to improve the success rate of screening, reduce the screening time, and ensure aptamer binding affinity. Secondly, the precise tailoring strategies for pesticides aptamers were modularly elaborated, containing deletion, splitting, elongation, and fusion, which provided various advantages like cost-efficiency, enhanced binding affinity, and new derived functional motifs. Thirdly, the developed aptamer-based biosensors (aptasensors) for pesticide detection were systematically reviewed according to the different signal output modes. Finally, the challenges and future perspectives of pesticide detection are discussed comprehensively.

Abstract
Heavy metal pollution has become a severe threat to human health and the environment for many years. Their extensive release can severely damage the environment and promote the generation of many harmful diseases of public health concerns. These toxic heavy metals can cause many health problems such as brain damage, kidney failure, immune system disorder, muscle weakness, paralysis of the limbs, cardio complaint, nervous system. For many years, researchers focus on developing specific reliable analytical methods for the determination of heavy metal ions and preventing their acute toxicity to a significant extent. The modern researchers intended to utilize efficient and discerning materials, e.g. nanomaterials, especially the metal nanoparticles to detect heavy metal ions from different real sources rapidly. The metal nanoparticles have been broadly utilized as a sensing material for the colorimetric detection of toxic metal ions. The metal nanoparticles such as Gold (Au), Silver (Ag), and Copper (Cu) exhibited localized plasmon surface resonance (LPSR) properties which adds an outstanding contribution to the colorimetric sensing field. Though, the stability of metal nanoparticles was major issue to be exploited colorimetric sensing of heavy emtal ions, but from last decade different capping and stabilizing agents such as amino acids, vitmains, acids and ploymers were used to functionalize the metal surface of metal nanoparticles. These capping agents prevent the agglomeration of nanoparticles and make them more active for prolong period of time. This review covers a comprehensive work carried out for colorimetric detection of heavy metals based on metal nanoparticles from the year 2014 to onwards.

Abstract
Intensive applications of toxic malathion pesticides bring a vital threat to the environment and health. Hence, a credible and sensitive strategy is urgently needed for the respective detection of malathion. In this work, an aptamer-based nonenzymatic autonomous DNA walking machine was fabricated for monitoring trace malathion contamination in cells and foods. Along with the machine walking driven by malathion-triggered reaction entropy, multiple fluorescent signal outputs were thermodynamically generated for signal amplification. The proposed stable DNA nanomachine achieved satisfactory results with a detection limit of 81.9 pg L-1 for testing malathion, which could be applied to actual samples including apple juice, paddy water, and paddy soil. Furthermore, the high stability, sensitivity, and biocompatibility of the nanomachine enabled monitoring of the malathion contamination in living cells and bioaccumulation in lettuce without additional purification. Consequently, with these excellent performances, it is strongly anticipated that the DNA walking machine has tremendous potential to be extended to general platforms against pesticides to avoid malathion-contaminated agricultural production for environmental safety and human health.

Abstract
A colorimetric assay based on an enzyme-inhibition strategy is promising for the on-site detection of pesticide residues. Due to the high cost and low stability of enzymes, nanozymes (nanomaterials with enzyme-like activities) are widely developed as substitutes of enzymes. However, the inhibition of pesticides toward enzymes and nanozymes generally lacks selectivity. It is of great significance and challenge to design a specific pesticide assay based on an activity-inhibition strategy. Here, we discovered that iridium nanoparticles possess both peroxidase-like and oxidase-like activities under the same conditions, and their catalytic mechanisms are different. The synergistic effect of dual enzyme-like activities enhanced the colorimetric signal. Interestingly, the dual enzyme-mimicking activities could be simultaneously inhibited, and the inhibition effect exhibited high selectivity toward malathion. Considering the popularity and the hazards of malathion, a malathion assay method based on activity inhibition was established without enzymes and a redundant process. The synergistic effect of the selective inhibition of dual enzyme-like activities enhanced the selectivity and sensitivity. The proposed assay strategy opens up an avenue for specific assay of various pesticides.

Abstract
The combination of supramolecular chemistry and aggregation-induced emission-based luminogens (AIEgens) has recently attracted tremendous attention because of its ability to offer large emission enhancement even in substantially dilute solutions. In this work, a new aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-based supramolecular assembly has been reported, which consists of a polyanionic cyclodextrin derivative and a tetracationic tetraphenylethylene (TPE) derivative. Ionic cyclodextrins have attracted significant attention in host-guest supramolecular chemistry and pharmaceutical industry. However, ionic derivatives of β-cyclodextrins have not been explored to establish noncovalent interactions-based aggregation assembly of the most popular class of AIEgens, i.e., tetraphenylethylene derivatives. The current report demonstrates AIE of a tetracationic methyl pyridinium derivative of tetraphenylethylene (TPy-TPE) induced by a polyanionic sulfated β-cyclodextrin (S-βCD). The AIE-based supramolecular assembly has been thoroughly investigated using steady-state fluorescence, ground-state absorbance, and time-resolved fluorescence measurements. Further, the response of the supramolecular assembly towards external stimuli, such as, ionic strength, pH, and temperature, has been investigated. In addition, the complexation behavior of the TPE derivative has also been compared with the native neutral β-cyclodextrin derivative, which delineates the important role of the negatively charged portal of S-βCD in inducing aggregation of the TPy-TPE. The stoichiometry of the complex has been found to be 3:1 for TPy-TPE:S-βCD, using Job's plot analysis. Finally, to get insights into the underlying interactions between the supramolecular assembly components, molecular docking calculations have been performed.

Abstract
The ongoing poisoning of agricultural products has pushed the security problem to become an important issue. Among them, exceeding the standard rate of pesticide residues is the main factor influencing the quality and security of agricultural products. Moreover, the abuse of pesticides has introduced a large amount of residues in soil and drinking water, which will enter the food chain to the human body, leading to neurological disorders and cancer. Therefore, great efforts have been devoted to developing fluorescent sensors for detecting pesticide in a facile, quickly, sensitive, selective, accurate manner, which exhibit greater advantages than some traditional methods. In this review, we mainly focus on summarizing the non-biological fluorescent probes for organic pesticides detection with the detection limit of micromole to nanomole, including organic functional small molecules, calixarenes and pillararenes, metal organic framework systems, and nanomaterials. Meanwhile, we described the different sensing mechanisms for pesticides detection of these mentioned fluorescent sensors, the detection limit of each pesticide, the application in detecting actual samples, as well as their respective advantages and development prospects associated with present non-biological fluorescent sensors.

Abstract
On-site monitoring of carbamate pesticide in complex matrix remians as a challenge in terms of the real-time control of food safety and supervision of environmental quality. Herein, we fabricated robust upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPS)/polydopamine (PDA)-based hydrogel portable suit that precisely quantified carbaryl in complex tea samples with smartphone detector. UCNPS/PDA nanoprobe was developed by polymerization of dopamine monomers on the surface of NaErF4: 0.5% Tm3+@NaYF4 through electrostatic interaction, leading to efficient red luminescence quenching of UCNPS under near-infrared excitation, which circumvented autofluorescence and background interference in complicated environment. Such a luminescence quenching could be suppressed by thiocholine that was produced by acetylcholinesterase-mediated catalytic reaction, thus enabling carbaryl bioassay by inhibiting the activity of enzyme. Bestowed with the feasibility analysis of fluorescent output, portable platform was designed by integrating UCNPS-embedded sodium alginate hydrogel with 3D-printed smartphone device for quantitatively on-site monitoring of carbaryl in the range of 0.5-200 ng mL-1 in tea sample, accompanied by a detection limit of 0.5 ng mL-1. Owing to specific UCNPS signatures and hydrogel immobilization, this modular platform displayed sensitive response, portability and anti-interference capability in complex matrix analysis, thus holding great potential in point-of-care application.

Abstract
Excessive use of pesticides can cause contamination of the environment and agricultural products that are directly threatening human life and health. Therefore, in the process of food safety supervision, it is crucial to conduct sensitive and rapid detection of pesticide residues. The recognition element is the vital component of sensors and methods for fast testing pesticide residues in food. Improper recognition elements may lead to defects of testing methods, such as poor stability, low sensitivity, high economic costs, and waste of time. We can use the molecular biological technique to address these challenges as a good strategy for recognition element production and modification. Herein, we review the molecular biological methods of five specific recognition elements, including aptamers, genetic engineering antibodies, DNAzymes, genetically engineered enzymes, and whole-cell-based biosensors. In addition, the application of these identification elements combined with biosensor and immunoassay methods in actual detection was also discussed. The purpose of this review was to provide a valuable reference for further development of rapid detection methods for pesticide residues.

Abstract
For the first time, a comprehensive review is presented on the quantitative determination of narrow therapeutic index drugs (NTIDs) by nano optical and electrochemical sensors and biosensors. NTIDs have a narrow index between their effective doses and those at which they produce adverse toxic effects. Therefore, accurate determination of these drugs is very important for clinicians to provide a clear judgment about drug therapy for patients. Routine analytical techniques have limitations such as being expensive, laborious, and time-consuming, and need a skilled user and therefore the nano/(bio)sensing technology leads to high interest.

Abstract
Rapid and efficient pesticide detection methods are particularly important due to the growing problems of pesticide residues. Here, a new azo-based porous organic polymer, Azo(Fe)PPOP, was prepared from octa(amino-phenyl)silsesquioxane (OAPS) and iron(III) 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-nitrophenyl)porphyrin (FeTPP(NO2)4) via a simple coupling reaction without the participation of metal catalysts. The inorganic cage units of OAPS endowed Azo(Fe)PPOP a porous framework, high surface area, favorably thermal and chemical stability. In Azo(Fe)PPOP, iron(III) porphyrin units were individually isolated in a fixed location, which could effectively avoid dimerization or self-oxidation as happens as in the case of porphyrin monomers. Such a unique structure made Azo(Fe)PPOP exhibit an excellent peroxidase-like catalytic performance in the presence of H2O2 and 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). Because of these advantages, we established a selective, facile, and sensitive colorimetric platform for direct detection of malathion within a very short time (3 min) with a low detection limit (8.5 nM). In addition, the recognition mechanism between Azo(Fe)PPOP and malathion was verified using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy spectra. The practicality of the constructed platform was further executed by the detection of the pesticide in soil and food samples.

Abstract
A colorimetric aptasensor for chlorpyrifos detection utilizing the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of gold nanoparticle (AuNP) aggregates coupling with a specific aptamer and cationic polyethyleneimine (PEI) has been developed. The measurement principle is based on a remarkable characteristic of AuNPs that can change their colors under the aggregation and dispersion conditions, which enables a sensitive colorimetric detection. In the absence of chlorpyrifos, negatively charged phosphate backbones of the aptamer potentially interact with the cationic PEI, resulting in the red color appearance of the dispersed AuNPs, whereas, in the presence of chlorpyrifos, the aptamer binds explicitly to chlorpyrifos, consequently releasing cationic PEI. Uninteracted PEI induces AuNP aggregation, causing a color change from red to blue that can be observed through the naked eye. Under the optimized conditions, 6 nM PEI, 10 nM aptamer, and a pH buffer of 7.5, the colorimetric aptasensor gives a linear response in the range of 20-300 ng mL-1 with a low detection limit of 7.4 ng mL-1. The developed method has been successfully applied to complex sample analysis. The accuracy and precision of chlorpyrifos quantification in spiked samples, including tap water, pomelo, and longan samples, are in the acceptable criteria of method validation, indicating that the developed aptasensor can be utilized as an alternative analytical tool for chlorpyrifos determination in complex samples. This aptasensor provides advantages such as a simple procedure, low cost, short analysis time, and involving uncomplicated instruments. Moreover, it offers high sensitivity, selectivity, and stability.

Abstract
Malathion is one of the most commonly used organophosphorus pesticides that can cause serious harm to the ecological environment and human health. Herein, we demonstrated a label-free chemiluminescent aptasensor for the sensitive detection of malathion based on exonuclease-assisted dual signal amplification and G-quadruplex/hemin DNAzyme. Upon the addition of malathion, the aptamer probe specifically bound to the target to form a complex malathion-S3, leaving a duplex S1-S2. The complex malathion-S3 was digested by exonuclease I and the target was released. The released target was recycled to perform exonuclease I-assisted signal amplification. Furthermore, after treatment with exonuclease III, the duplex S1-S2 was converted into the secondary target ST. The secondary target ST interacted with the hairpin H1 to form a complex H1-ST, which was further digested by exonuclease III and released the secondary target. The released secondary target was recycled to perform exonuclease III-assisted signal amplification. After complete amplification, large numbers of G-quadruplex/hemin DNAzymes were generated. Under the optimal experimental conditions, the prepared aptasensor showed an excellent linear response to malathion with a detection limit of 0.47 pM. The relative standard deviations were in the range of 4.2-6.9%. Moreover, the aptasensor was successfully applied to detect malathion in spiked food and traditional Chinese medicine samples.

Abstract
The utilization of pesticides has been increased in recent years due to population growth and increasing urbanization. The constant use of pesticides has resulted in contamination of the environment and agricultural products with serious human health concerns associated with their use. Therefore, detection and quantification of pesticides by sensitive and selective methods is highly required in food safety management. Traditional detection methods cannot realize highly sensitive, selective and on-site detection, which limits their application. (Bio)sensors and (bio)assays are emerging tools with unique properties such as rapid, sensitive, efficient and portable detection. Among them, enzyme-based biosensors have been widely developed and some have even been commercialized. However, they suffer from some limitations such as instability and low reproducibility that originate from the nature of enzyme. Non-enzymatic (bio)sensors overcome the current limitations of enzyme-based detection methods and provide great potential for efficient, highly sensitive and low-cost detection assays using smart and miniaturized devices. In this study, we provide an overview of recent advances and new trends in optical and electrochemical non-enzymatic (bio)sensors for the detection of pesticides by focusing on antibody, aptamer and molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) as recognition elements. Performance, advantages and drawbacks of the developed (bio)sensors are discussed well. The main advantage these recognition elements is their stability over an extended period of time compared to the enzymes. Furthermore, the combination of nanomaterials in these (bio)sensors can significantly improve their performance.

Abstract
Contamination by pesticides in the food chain and the environment is a worldwide problem that needs to be actively monitored to ensure safety. Unfortunately, standard pesticide analysis based on mass spectrometry takes a lot of time, money and effort. Thus, simple, reliable, cost-effective and field applicable methods for pesticide detection have been actively developed. One of the most promising technologies is an aptamer-based biosensor or so-called aptasensor. It utilizes aptamers, short single-stranded DNAs or RNAs, as pesticide recognition elements to integrate with various innovative biosensing technologies for specific and sensitive detection of pesticide residues. Several platforms for aptasensors have been dynamically established, such as colorimetry, fluorometry, electrochemistry, electrochemiluminescence (ECL) and so forth. Each platform has both advantages and disadvantages depending on the purpose of use and readiness of technology. For example, colorimetric-based aptasensors are more affordable than others because of the simplicity of fabrication and resource requirements. Electrochemical-based aptasensors have mainly shown better sensitivity than others with exceedingly low detection limits. This paper critically reviews the progression of pesticide aptasensors throughout the development process, including the selection, characterization and modification of aptamers, the conceptual frameworks of integrating aptamers and biosensors, the ASSURED (affordable, sensitive, specific, user-friendly, rapid and robust, equipment-free and deliverable to end users) criteria of different platforms and the future outlook.

Abstract
Malathion is an organophosphorus pesticide which could remain in agricultural products and exert irreversible harmful effects on human health. Hence, strict monitoring of malathion contents is very significant. Here, a highly sensitive fluorescent aptasensor was developed for the determination of malathion, the system was based on a cationic polymer-mediated fluorescence 'turn-off'. In this system, malathion-specific aptamers were bound to cationic polymer through electrostatic interactions. To produce fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), negatively charged upconversion fluorescent nanoparticles (UCNPs) and cationic-polymer encapsulated gold nanoparticles (GNPs) were combined. This combination resulted in fluorescence quenching, and the degree of quenching was correlated with the concentration of malathion. Under optimum conditions, the fluorescence intensities were observed to decrease linearly with the rising concentration of the malathion from 0.01 to 1 μM with a detection limit of 1.42 nM. Furthermore, the developed sensor possessed good selective recognition ability for malathion and was successfully used to detect malathion in adulterated tap water and matcha samples with high accuracy.

Abstract
This report illustrates a strategy for designing a nanoconjugate derived vector that efficiently delivers antimicrobial drug directly into bacterial cells. The nanoconjugate comprises of negatively charged CDTe@CdS quantum dots (QDs) with its surface functionalized using cationic BP-100 (KKLFKKILKYL-amide), a known cell-penetrating peptide (CPP), via electrostatic approach. The interactions between QD and CPP in QD-functionalized CPPs (QD-CPP) have been well analyzed using fluorescence spectroscopy, gel electrophoresis, and ζ-potential analysis. The QD-CPP conjugate was internalized into Gram negative (Escherichia coli) as well as Gram positive (Staphylococcus aureus) bacterial strains with confocal studies exhibiting a strong signal in tested microorganisms. Further, to check the applicability of QD-CPP conjugate as a delivery vector for generating an effective therapeutics, ampicillin molecules were conjugated on QD-CPP surface to generate QD-CPP-Amp conjugate. The CPP and drug molecules on the surface of QDs were well quantified using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) data. It was observed that the internalization and bacterial debilitation of the QD-CPP-Amp conjugate is 2- to 4-fold effective as compared to that of bare ampicillin. The morphological changes to the bacterial cells upon the treatment with QD-CPP-Amp conjugates were noted with no cytotoxic effect on tested mammalian cell lines. The results inferred that the proposed QD-CPP vector provides a targeted and proficient approach for cellular internalization of cargo (drug) in bacterial cells with effective tracking through florescent QDs.

Abstract
In order to solve the problem that the sensor cannot be reused due to the passivation of the electrode surface, a refreshable electrochemical aptasensor based on a hydrophobic electrode and a magnetic nanocomposite had been developed. Therein, the hydrophobic electrode was formed by modifying a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), which could avoid adsorption of molecules on the electrode surface due to its hydrophobicity. Combined with aptamer (Apt), the synthesized graphene oxide-ferroferric oxide (GO-Fe3O4) was used as a magnetic catcher to capture specific organophosphorus pesticides (OPs), which could be removed to the working area of SPCE with a magnet for electrochemical detection. The performance analysis of hydrophobic electrode showed that the SPCE could be used twice. When the electrochemical signals of Apt/GO-Fe3O4 and OPs/Apt/GO-Fe3O4 were recorded using the same SPCE, the current differences between them were directly related to the concentrations of OPs. Through the contrast test between the spiked vegetable samples and the OPs standard solutions, it was found that the OPs concentrations could be qualitatively evaluated by comparing the current differences. At the same time, the characteristic of collecting target with magnetic catcher was helpful for detecting OPs with a low concentration. Therefore, the refreshable aptasensor provided a huge potential to small molecule target evaluation.

Abstract
In this paper, we report the development of a rapid and simple, liquid crystal (LC)-based aptasensor that enables the detection of malathion (MA) using the orientation properties of liquid crystals. This sensor is composed of aptamers immobilized on a surface decorated with a self-assembled monolayer of (3-glycidyloxypropyl)trimethoxysilane (GOPS) and dimethyloctadecyl[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]ammonium chloride (DMOAP). When MA interacts with the immobilized aptamers, an orientational change in the LCs, from homeotropic to random, is induced. This orientational change generates visible optical responses observed as shifts from dark to bright images under a polarized optical microscope (POM). This sensing system has a linear detection range from 0.8 to 50 pM, with a correlation coefficient of 0.9922, and a limit of detection (LOD) of 2.5 pM (≈0.826 pg/mL). Our proposed aptasensor has good specificity and sensitivity to MA in tap water and soil. Moreover, this sensor suggests a promising strategy for simple, rapid testing for various insecticide residues.

Abstract
Pesticide contamination has become one of the most serious problems of public health in the world, due to their wide application in agriculture industry to guarantee the crop yield and quality. The detection of pesticide residues plays an important role in food safety management and environment protection. However, the conventional detection methodologies cannot realize highly sensitive, selective and on-site detection, which limits their applications. Aptamers are short single-stranded oligonucleotides (RNA or DNA) selected by SELEX method, which can selectively bind to their targets with high affinity. Compared with the commonly used antibodies or enzymes in designing biosensors, aptamers exhibit better stability, low molecular weight, easy modification and low cost, and were regarded as excellent candidates for developing aptasensors for pesticide detection. In this review, application of aptamers for pesticide detection was reviewed. Firstly, aptamers specifically bind to various pesticides were first summarized. Secondly, the progresses and highlights of developing aptasensors for highly-sensitive and selective detection of pesticide residues were systematically provided. Finally, the present challenges and future perspectives for developing novel highly-effective aptasensor for the detection of pesticide residues were discussed.
