Abstract
In this study, a new non-enzymatic carbon paste biosensor was developed for the determination of Bisphenol-A (BPA) based on Multiwalled Carbon Nanotube (MWCNT) modified Myoglobin (Mb). The measurement principle of the biosensor was developed based on the inhibition effect of BPA on the heme group of myoglobin in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. With the designed biosensor, measurements were taken in the potential range of (-0.15 V & +0.65 V) using the differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) method in the medium containing K4[Fe(CN)6]. The linear range for BPA was determined to be 100-1000 µM. Response time was calculated as 16 s. The limit of detection was set at 89 μM. As a result, it has been proven that MWCNT modified myoglobin based biosensor is an alternative method that can be used for BPA determination, giving very sensitive and fast results.

Abstract
The development of enzyme biosensors has successfully overcome various challenges such as enzyme instability, loss of enzyme activity or long response time. In the electroanalytical field, tyrosinase is used to develop biosensors that exploit its ability to catalyze the oxidation of numerous types of phenolic compounds with antioxidant and neurotransmitter roles. This review critically examines the main tyrosinase immobilization techniques for the development of sensitive electrochemical biosensors. Immobilization strategies are mainly classified according to the degree of reversibility/irreversibility of enzyme binding to the support material. Each tyrosinase immobilization method has advantages and limitations, and its selection depends mainly on the type of support electrode, electrode-modifying nanomaterials, cross-linking agent or surfactants used. Tyrosinase immobilization by cross-linking is characterized by very frequent use with outstanding performance of the developed biosensors. Additionally, research in recent years has focused on new immobilization strategies involving cross-linking, such as cross-linked enzyme aggregates (CLEAs) and magnetic cross-linked enzyme aggregates (mCLEAs). Therefore, it can be considered that cross-linking immobilization is the most feasible and economical approach, also providing the possibility of selecting the reagents used and the order of the immobilization steps, which favor the enhancement of biosensor performance characteristics.

Abstract
Electrochemical (bio)sensors were developed for bisphenol A (BPA) determination. Screen printed carbon electrode (SPCE) was modified with ionic liquid 1- butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (IL), carbon quantum dots (CQD) and gold nanoparticles (AuNP) for the fabrication of the BPA sensor. Electrode surface composition was optimized for the deposition time of AuNP, amount of CQD and percentage of IL using the central composite design (CCD) method. The results of the CCD study indicated that maximum amperometric response was recorded when 9.8 μg CQD, 3% IL and 284 s AuNP deposition time were used in modification. Tyrosinase (Ty) was further modified on the AuNP/CQD-IL/SPCE to fabricate the biosensor. Analytical performance characteristics of the BPA sensor were investigated by differential pulse anodic adsorptive stripping voltammetry and the AuNP/CQD-IL/SPCE sensor exhibited a linear response to BPA in the range of 2.0 × 10-8 - 3.6 × 10-6 M with a detection limit of 1.1 × 10-8 M. Amperometric measurements showed that the linear dynamic range and detection limit of the Ty/AuNP/CQD-IL/SPCE were 2.0 × 10-8 - 4.0 × 10-6 M and 6.2 × 10-9 M, respectively. Analytical performance characteristics such as sensitivity, reproducibility and selectivity were investigated for the presented (bio)sensors. The analytical applicability of the (bio)sensors to the analysis of BPA in mineral water samples was also tested.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is a worldwide used endocrine disrupting chemical that can migration from food containers and packaging, resulting in bioaccumulation of BPA in humans and causing adverse health effects. Porous electrodes have been proved with large surface areas and high sensing abilities in electrochemical detection of BPA. However, how to tailor the pore sizes to further improve the sensing performance is still a great challenge. Here, we delicately tailored the diameters of carbon nanofibers (CNFs) by adjusting electrospinning parameters to have optimal mesopore structure for strong adsorption of hemin that has been demonstrated with high electrocatalytic activity for BPA sensing. Benefiting from the optimal mesopores structure of CNFs and the synergistic effect of hemin and CNFs, this hemin@CNFs based sensor achieves an ultrahigh sensitivity of 40.97 μA cm-2 μM-1, a low detection limit of 3.1 nM and satisfactory recoveries from 90.2% to 104.2% in the direct detection of BPA in liquors. This work offers a promising sensing platform for ultrasensitive monitoring of BPA.

Tyrosinase-Based Biosensor-A New Tool for Chlorogenic Acid Detection in Nutraceutical Formulations. MATERIALS 2022; 15:ma15093221.

Abstract
The purpose of our research was to develop a new enzymatic biosensor, GPH-MnPc-Tyr/SPE, using as a support screen-printed carbon electrode (SPE) modified with graphene, manganese phthalocyanine, and tyrosinase, with the aim of developing sensitive detection of chlorogenic acid (CGA). To immobilise tyrosinase on the sensor surface, crosslinking with the glutaraldehyde technique was used, thus increasing the enzyme bioactivity on this electrode. The modified electrode has a great catalytic effect on the electrochemical redox of chlorogenic acid, compared to the simple, unmodified SPE. The peak current response of the biosensor for CGA was linear in the range of 0.1-10.48 μM, obtaining a calibration curve using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and square-wave voltammetry (SWV). Subsequently, the detection limit (LOD) and the quantification limit (LOQ) were determined, obtaining low values, i.e., LOD = 1.40 × 10-6 M; LOQ = 4.69 × 10-6 M by cyclic voltammetry and LOD = 2.32 × 10-7 M; LOQ = 7.74 × 10-7 M, by square-wave voltammetry (SWV). These results demonstrate that the method is suitable for the detection of CGA in nutraceutical formulations. Therefore, GPH-MnPc-Tyr/SPE was used for the quantitative determination of CGA in three products, by means of cyclic voltammetry. The Folin-Ciocalteu spectrophotometric assay was used for the validation of the results, obtaining a good correlation between the voltammetric method and the spectrophotometric one, at a confidence level of 95%. Moreover, by means of the DPPH method, the antioxidant activity of the compound was determined, thus demonstrating the antioxidant effect of CGA in all nutraceuticals studied.

Abstract
The remote control of biocatalytic processes in an extracellular medium is an exciting idea to deliver innovative solutions in the biocatalysis field. With this purpose, metallic nanoparticles (NPs) are great candidates, as their inherent thermal, electric, magnetic, and plasmonic properties can readily be manipulated upon external stimuli. Exploring the unique NP properties beyond an anchoring platform for enzymes brings up the opportunity to extend the efficiency of biocatalysts and modulate their activity through triggered events. In this review, we discuss a set of external stimuli, such as light, electricity, magnetism, and temperature, as tools for the regulation of nanobiocatalysis, including the challenges and perspectives regarding their use. In addition, we elaborate on the use of combined stimuli that create a more refined framework in terms of a multiresponsive system. Finally, we envision this review might instigate researchers in this field of study with a set of promising opportunities in the near future.

Abstract
The use of sensors in critical areas for human development such as water, food, and health has increased in recent decades. When the sensor uses biological recognition, it is known as a biosensor. Nowadays, the development of biosensors has been increased due to the need for reliable, fast, and sensitive techniques for the detection of multiple analytes. In recent years, with the advancement in nanotechnology within biocatalysis, enzyme-based biosensors have been emerging as reliable, sensitive, and selectively tools. A wide variety of enzyme biosensors has been developed by detecting multiple analytes. In this way, together with technological advances in areas such as biotechnology and materials sciences, different modalities of biosensors have been developed, such as bi-enzymatic biosensors and nanozyme biosensors. Furthermore, the use of more than one enzyme within the same detection system leads to bi-enzymatic biosensors or multi-enzyme sensors. The development and synthesis of new materials with enzyme-like properties have been growing, giving rise to nanozymes, considered a promising tool in the biosensor field due to their multiple advantages. In this review, general views and a comparison describing the advantages and disadvantages of each enzyme-based biosensor modality, their possible trends and the principal reported applications will be presented.

Abstract
The development of robust and sensitive point-of-care testing platforms is necessary to improve patient care and outcomes. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based immunosensors are especially suited for this purpose. Here, we present a highly sensitive and selective SERS immunoassay, demonstrating for example the detection of horseradish peroxidase (HRP), in a sandwich format. The strength of our biosensor lies in merging: (i) SERS-immunotags based on gold nanostars, allowing exceptional intense SERS from attached Raman probes, covalent attachment of anti-HRP antibodies by a simple chemical method providing exceptional antigen binding activity; (ii) the ease of preparation of the capture platform from a regenerated cellulose-based hydrogel, a transparent material, ideal for microfluidics applications, with low background fluorescence and Raman signal, particularly suited for preserving high activity of the covalently bound anti-HRP antibodies. The sandwich complexes formed were characterised by atomic force microscopy, and by scanning electron microscopy coupled with electron diffraction spectroscopy; and (iii) the robustness of the simple Classical Least Squares method for SERS data analysis, resulting in superior discrimination of SERS signals from the background and much better data fitting, compared to the commonly used peak integral method. Our SERS immunoassay greatly improves the detection limits of traditional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay approaches, and its performance is better or comparable to those of existing SERS-based immunosensors. Our approach successfully overcomes the main challenges of application at point-of-care, including increasing reproducibility, sensitivity, and specificity, associated with an environmentally friendly and robust design. Also, the proposed design withstands several cycles of regeneration, a feature absent in paper-SERS immunoassays and this opens the way for sensitive multiplexing applications on a microfluidic platform.

Abstract
Design of efficient enzyme carriers, where enzymes are conjugated to supports, has become an attractive research avenue. Immobilized enzymes are advantageous for practical applications because of their convenience in handling, ease of separation, and good reusability. However, the main challenge is that these traditional enzyme carriers are unable to regulate the enzymolysis efficiency or to protect the enzymes from proteolytic degradation, which restricts their effectiveness of enzymes in bioapplications. Enlightened by the stimuli-responsive channels in the natural cell membranes, conjugation of the enzymes within flat-sheet stimuli-responsive porous polymer membranes (SR-PPMs) as artificial cell membranes is an efficient strategy for circumventing this challenge. Controlled by the external stimuli, the multifunctional polymer chains, which are incorporated within the membranes and attached to the enzyme, change their structures to defend the enzyme from the external environmental disturbances and degradation by proteinases. Specifically, smart SR-PPM enzyme carriers (SR-PPMECs) not only permit convective substrate transfer through the accessible porous network, dramatically improving enzymolysis efficiency due to the adjustable pore sizes and the confinement effect, but they also act as molecular switches for regulating its permeability and selectivity. In this review, the concept of SR-PPMECs is presented. It covers the latest developments in design strategies of flat-sheet SR-PPFMs, fabrication protocols of SR-PPFMECs, strategies for the regulation of enzymolysis efficiency, and their cutting-edge bioapplications.

Abstract
The overuse of tetracycline results in a threat to human, poultry and livestock health. An enzymatic electrochemical biosensor is an ideal alternative method for accurate and rapid tetracycline detection, while the unstable and easily deactivated nature of the enzyme limits its development. To overcome these limitations, a highly sensitive enzymatic electrochemical biosensor for the determination of tetracycline is developed in this work based on a complex enzyme which was constructed using a mesoporous carbon sphere@UiO-66-NH2 (MCS@UiO-66-NH2) core-shell composite with embedded laccase (Lac). Compared to pure MCS and UiO-66-NH2, the MCS@UiO-66-NH2 core-shell composite has an advantageous mesoporous structure (pore diameter >8 nm), which is suitable for the immobilization of small laccase. The biosensor based on the complex enzyme exhibits a superior activity and enhanced stability as compared with that made using a pure enzyme because the mesoporous structure of the MCS@UiO-66-NH2 composite can effectively protect the laccase against inactivation and denaturation. Besides, its high specific surface area and good conductivity are beneficial to enzyme immobilization and electron transfer in the modified electrode. The biosensor based on this complex enzyme exhibits a relatively low detection limit of 8.94 × 10-7 mol L-1 and a detection range of 1.0 × 10-6-6.0 × 10-5 mol L-1 for tetracycline detection. Furthermore, the developed biosensor possesses good long-term stability, selectivity and reproducibility, indicating its potential application for tetracycline determination in actual food. This research work provides a prospective solution to resolve the stability and inactivation problems of enzymatic electrochemical biosensors in different application scenarios.

Abstract
The residues of bisphenol A (BPA) in food packaging and water systems have a potential impact on human health; therefore, its analysis and detection have drawn scientists' attention. In this work, based on the change in fluorescence intensity resulting from the conformational switch of a berberine/BPA-aptamer system in the presence and absence of BPA, an ultra-sensitive fluorescence aptasensing system is proposed, in which BPA-aptamer is employed as the identification unit and berberine as the fluorescent probe. Various factors affecting the detection of BPA, including the concentration of the fluorescent probe, BPA-aptamer, BPA, pH, system stability time and other experimental conditions, were investigated in detail. Under the optimal experimental conditions, the fluorescence intensity of the sensing system of berberine/BPA-aptamer exhibited a good linear correlation with the BPA concentration in the range of 0-1300 μM with a LOD of 32 nM. The proposed fluorescent sensing system also exhibited excellent recoveries of 92.4-102.3% in tap water samples and showed good application prospects for the analysis and detection of BPA.

Abstract
Bioelectrocatalysis using redox enzymes appears as a sustainable way for biosensing, electricity production, or biosynthesis of fine products. Despite advances in the knowledge of parameters that drive the efficiency of enzymatic electrocatalysis, the weak stability of bioelectrodes prevents large scale development of bioelectrocatalysis. In this review, starting from the understanding of the parameters that drive protein instability, we will discuss the main strategies available to improve all enzyme stability, including use of chemicals, protein engineering and immobilization. Considering in a second step the additional requirements for use of redox enzymes, we will evaluate how far these general strategies can be applied to bioelectrocatalysis.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is an endocrine-disrupting chemical (EDC) employed in industrial processes that causes adverse effects on the environment and human health. Sensitive and inexpensive methods to detect BPA are therefore needed. In this paper, we describe an electrochemical biosensor for detecting low levels of BPA using polymeric electrospun nanofibers of polyamide 6 (PA6) and poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) decorated with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), namely, PA6/PAH@AuNPs, which were deposited onto a fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) substrate. The hybrid layer was excellent for the immobilization of tyrosinase (Tyr), which allowed an amperometric detection of BPA with a limit of detection of 0.011 μM in the concentration range from 0.05 to 20 μM. Detection was also possible in real water samples with recoveries in the range of 92–105%. The improved sensing performance is attributed to the combined effect of the large surface area and porosity of PA6/PAH nanofibers, the catalytic activity of AuNPs, and oxidoreductase ability of Tyr. These results provide a route for novel biosensing architectures to monitor BPA and other EDCs in water resources.

[PMID: 33421902 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2020.128895] [Citation(s) in RCA: 38] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2020] [Revised: 12/09/2020] [Accepted: 12/16/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Bisphenols (BPs) are worldwide used organic compounds in plastics, belonging to the group of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) which exhibits endocrine disruption to beings. Migration of BPs from food contact materials like plastic containers, epoxy coatings in metal cans and thermal papers, would results in bioaccumulation of BPs in human beings, causing adverse health effects. Therefore, sensitive and selective determination of BPs in food is needed. Among different strategies have been explored for the detection of BPs, electrochemical sensors with relatively high sensitivity and fast response are promising. This paper is devoted to comprehensively review the developed electrochemical methods for BPs sensing in food, so that to find a direction for developing low cost, high accuracy and compatibility sensors toward the sensitive and selective detection of BPs. Different electrochemical technologies categorized by recognition agents, aptamers, enzymes, molecularly imprinted polymers and nanomaterials are discussed and summarized in their mechanisms, usages, merits and limitations. The challenges and further perspectives in the development of electrochemical sensors is also discussed.
