Abstract
To address the relatively low sensitivity of current redox reagent-mediated magnetic relaxation sensing methods, we present a novel Ag+-mediated magnetic sensing platform that enhances the sensitivity by three orders of magnitude. The new sensing platform is based on Ag+-catalyzed oxidation of Mn2+ to KMnO4, accompanied by a distinct color change, which facilitates colorimetric detection. In the case of insufficient Ag+ ions, MnO2 is an additional oxidation product and the KMnO4/MnO2 ratio is dependent on the concentration of Ag+. When combined with a specific quantity of reducing agent, both KMnO4 and MnO2 are reduced to Mn2+ with a large relaxivity, and the concentration of Mn2+ in the resultant solution inversely correlates with the amount of KMnO4 since KMnO4 consumes more reductant during reduction. Consequently, the transverse relaxation rate of the solution exhibits a negative correlation with the Ag+ concentration. Thus, by coupling this Ag+-mediated Mn2+ to KMnO4 transformation with reactions that modulate Ag+ concentration, a dual-mode sensing platform for magnetic relaxation and colorimetry can be realized. Herein, we take H2O2 as an example to verify the detection performance of this sensing platform since H2O2 can oxidize Ag0 in Ag@Fe3O4 nanoparticles to Ag+. Experimental findings demonstrate detection limits of 10 nM and 20 nM for the magnetic relaxation and colorimetry modes, respectively, affirming the excellent sensitivity and the potential practical application of this strategy.

Abstract
Umami substances play a significant role in the evaluation of food quality, and their synergistic enhancement is of great importance in improving and intensifying food flavors and tastes. Current biosensors available for umami detection still confront challenges in simultaneous quantification of multiple umami substances and umami intensities. In this study, an innovative dual-channel magnetic relaxation switching taste biosensor (D-MRSTB) was developed for the quantitative detection of representative umami substances. The multienzyme signal of D-MRSTB specifically catalyzes the umami substances of interest to generate hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), which is then used to oxidate Fe2+ to Fe3+. Such a valence-state transition of paramagnetic ions was utilized as a magnetic relaxation signaling switch to influence the transverse magnetic relaxation time (T2) within the reaction milieu, thus achieving simultaneous detection of monosodium glutamate (MSG) and inosine 5'-monophosphate (IMP). The biosensor showed good linearity (R2 > 0.99) in the concentration range of 50-1000 and 10-1000 μmol/L, with limits of detection (LOD) of 0.61 and 0.09 μmol/L for MSG and IMP, respectively. Furthermore, the biosensor accurately characterized the synergistic effect of the mixed solution of IMP and MSG, where ΔT2 showed a good linear relationship with the equivalent umami concentration (EUC) of the mixed solution (R2 = 0.998). Moreover, the D-MRSTB successfully achieved the quantitative detection of umami compounds in real samples. This sensing technology provides a powerful tool for achieving the detection of synergistic enhancement among umami compounds and demonstrates its potential for application in the food industry.

Broad-spectrum portable magnetic relaxation switching immunosensor with gold-functionalized magnetic nanoprobes for the sensitive detection of multiple pyrethroids. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 451:131141. [PMID: 36921413 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.131141] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2022] [Revised: 02/19/2023] [Accepted: 03/02/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
At present, the most available pyrethroid (PYR) detection methods still suffer from a narrow detection spectrum, low sensitivity, and less portability. Herein, a novel magnetic relaxation switching (MRS) sensor was elaboratively designed to detect multiple PYRs, combining a novel broad-spectrum antibody CL-CN/1D2 and synthesized immune gold-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles, with the inherent response of the sensor. A series of antibodies and the immune gold-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles were designed and synthesized. The broad-spectrum antibody CL-CN/1D2 and high-performance gold-functionalized magnetic nanoprobe were further selected. The target analytes were effectively captured by the gold-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles in 20% (v/v) ethanol, resulting in the number increase of the signaling probes in the supernatant after magnetic separation. This sensor can detect multiple PYRs with a detection limit of 2.72 μg/L for cypermethrin, 3.58 μg/L for β-cypermethrin, 4.07 μg/L for cyfluthrin, 3.66 μg/L for λ-cyhalothrin, 4.42 μg/L for β-cyhalothrin, 3.51 μg/L for fenpropathrin, 4.41 μg/L for fenvalerate, and 4.12 μg/L for deltamethrin in lake water and milk within 35 min. This study not only achieves broad-spectrum PYRs detection at a trace amount but also provides an effective and universal strategy for enhancing the sensitivity and stability of the portable MRS sensor when detecting hydrophobic analytes in the environment.

Guo Z, Sun HL. A facile and sensitive magnetic relaxation sensing strategy based on the conversion of Fe 3+ ions to Prussian blue precipitates for the detection of alkaline phosphatase and ascorbic acid oxidase. Talanta 2023; 260:124579. [PMID: 37116357 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2023.124579] [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: 01/31/2023] [Revised: 04/07/2023] [Accepted: 04/19/2023] [Indexed: 04/30/2023]
Abstract
Herein, a novel magnetic relaxation sensing strategy based on the change in Fe3+ content has been proposed by utilizing the conversion of Fe3+ ions to Prussian blue (PB) precipitates. Compared with the common detection approach based on the valence state change of Fe3+ ions, our strategy can cause a larger change in the relaxation time of water protons and higher detection sensitivity since PB precipitate can induce a larger change in the Fe3+ ion concentration and has a weaker effect on the relaxation process of water protons relative to Fe2+ ions. Then, we employ alkaline phosphatase (ALP) as a model target to verify the feasibility and detection performance of the as-proposed strategy. Actually, ascorbic acid (AA) generated from the ALP-catalyzed L-ascorbyl-2-phosphate hydrolysis reaction can reduce potassium ferricyanide into potassium ferrocyanide, and potassium ferrocyanide reacts with Fe3+ to form PB precipitates, leading to a higher relaxation time. Under optimum conditions, the method for ALP detection has a wide linear range from 5 to 230 mU/mL, and the detection limit is 0.28 mU/mL, sufficiently demonstrating the feasibility and satisfactory analysis performance of this strategy, which opens up a new path for the construction of magnetic relaxation sensors. Furthermore, this strategy has also been successfully applied to ascorbic acid oxidase detection, suggesting its expansibility in magnetic relaxation detection.

Abstract
An electrochemical sensor based on environmentally friendly eRAFT polymerization was developed for the detection of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) in food and herbal medicine. Two biological probes, aptamer (Ap) and antibody (Ab), were used to specifically recognize AFB1, and a large number of ferrocene polymers were grafted on the electrode surface by eRAFT polymerization, which greatly improved the specificity and sensitivity of the sensor. The detection limit of AFB1 was 37.34 fg/mL. In addition, the recovery rate was 95.69% to 107.65% and the RSD was 0.84% to 4.92% by detecting 9 spiked samples. The delighted reliability of this method was verified by HPLC-FL.

Ultrasensitive hairpin mediated upconversion fluorescence biosensor for Staphylococcus aureus detection in foods and waters exploiting g-C 3N 4-assisted catalysis. Anal Chim Acta 2023; 1239:340738.

Abstract
A novel g-C3N4 nanosheets (g-C3N4 NSs)-assisted upconversion fluorescent aptasensor was proposed for Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) detection by adopting hybridization chain reaction (HCR) as a sensitizer. Two hairpin (H1 and H2) structured DNA probes were engineered predicated on the partial complementary sequence (cDNA) of S. aureus aptamer and modified on the exterior of the upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs), respectively. The presence of S. aureus initiated the HCR system and activated H1 and H2 probes to form a double-helix away from the g-C3N4 NSs vicinity. This led to the decrease in peroxidase-like activity (PA) of the g-C3N4 NSs and corresponding fluorescence recovery proportional to the concentration of S. aureus (10-106 cfu mL-1). The method was applied to real food samples with acceptable recoveries (91.1-101.6%) and further validated by traditional plate counting method (p > 0.05).

Abstract
Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a highly toxic mycotoxin, which causes severe acute or cumulative poisoning. Therefore, it is important to develop sensitive and selective detection methods for AFB1 for the safety of food and medicinal herbs. Herein, we have developed a "signal-on" electrochemical aptasensor based on the high specificity of the aptamer and hybridization chain reaction (HCR) biological amplification for AFB1 detection. In this work, thiol-modified complementary DNA (cDNA) immobilized on the surface of a gold electrode (GE) served as an initiator DNA. When AFB1 was present, it competed with the cDNA for binding to the aptamers, which resulted in the detaching of aptamers from the cDNA-aptamer duplexes. Then, the single-stranded cDNA acted as an initiator to trigger the HCR signal amplification. Therefore, long double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) products were produced, which could load large amounts of methylene blue (MB) molecules to generate a distinct electrochemical signal. Under the optimized conditions, the proposed electrochemical aptasensor achieved the ultrasensitive detection of AFB1 with a linear detection range of 0.01-100 pg mL-1, and a limit of detection (LOD) down to 2.84 fg mL-1. Furthermore, the electrochemical aptasensor was successfully applied for detecting AFB1 in corn and two kinds of traditional Chinese medicine samples, indicating the potential value for AFB1 detection in practical samples.

Abstract
Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a group of heterocyclic aromatic hydrocarbon secondary metabolites, which are the most toxic among the known fungal toxins. Therefore, it becomes particularly important to develop sensitive, accurate, rapid and simple methods for the detection of AFB1. In this work, a method of constructing aflatoxin aptasensor with black phosphorus nano sheet loaded with gold nanoparticles as electrode modification material, Ce-metal organic framework (MOF) material as signal label and prism DNA nano structure modified electrode as recognition interface is proposed. The hybridization between prism DNA and primer probe was used to trigger rolling circle amplification (RCA) on the electrode surface, and then the complementary chain modified with Au NPs@Ce-MOF is bound to the amplification chain to provide electrochemical signals. In the range of 0.024-100 ng mL-1, the response current showed a good linear relationship with the logarithm of aflatoxin concentration, the linear equation was I = 6.4181 lg c + 11.975 with the linear correlation coefficient of 0.9973, and the detection limit was 1.48 pg mL-1 (S/N = 3).

Abstract
In this work, a novel fluorescent biosensor for sensitive detecting of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) was constructed through activators regenerated by electron transfer for atom transfer radical polymerization (ARGET-ATRP) for the first time. The AFB1 antigen was immobilized on the carboxy magnetic beads (MBs) by forming a sandwich-type "aptamer-antigen-antibody" immune system. Then, acrylamid (AM) was introduced through ARGET-ATRP to provide binding sites for the signaling molecules. Finally, carboxy porphyrins (TPP*) were connected with monomers through an amide bond and fixed on the MBs. Under the optimal experimental conditions, the fluorescence intensity and the logarithm of the concentration of AFB1 showed a good relationship from 100 fg mL-1 to 100 ng mL-1, with the limit of detection (LOD) as low as 8.38 fg mL-1. In addition, the method shows good selectivity and excellent reproducibility. More importantly, the biosensor has applied to the quantitative analysis of AFB1 in four Chinese medicines, and this strategy could potentially serve as a novel means for sensitive detecting of AFB1 in complex matrices.

Abstract
In this study, we designed a magnetic relaxation switch (MRS) sensor combined with magnetophoresis technology (MS-MRS), which helps solve the problems of traditional MRS sensors. The sensor is based on a new combined magnet and is composed of small magnetic blocks and iron sheets that can rapidly separate magnetic nanoparticles of different sizes within 5 min. The MS-MRS sensor consists of aptamer-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles (diameter: 200 nm) (MNP200-Apt), complementary DNA-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles (diameter: 20 nm) (MNP20-cDNA), and a combined magnet ("M2" magnet). The MNP200-Apt probe could be separated by an "M2" magnet but the MNP20-cDNA probe could not. To further improve the sensitivity of the sensor, we successfully constructed an MS-MRS-Hg sensor based on the "T-Hg(II)-T" specific recognition that aggregated MNP20-cDNA probes to amplify the relaxation signal. The detection working range of the MS-MRS sensor is 0.5-100 ng/mL and that of the MS-MRS-Hg sensor is 0.05-100 ng/mL. Their limit of detection (LOD) values are 0.15 and 0.01 ng/mL, respectively. The relative recoveries of the MS-MRS and MS-MRS-Hg sensors are 95.2-119.5% and 93.1-113.1%, respectively. These results indicate that the proposed sensors have a high accuracy level.

A CRISPR-Cas12a-powered magnetic relaxation switching biosensor for the sensitive detection of Salmonella. Biosens Bioelectron 2022; 213:114437. [PMID: 35696867 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2022.114437] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2022] [Revised: 05/10/2022] [Accepted: 05/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
Magnetic relaxation switching (MRS) biosensors are attractive in the field of food safety owing to their simplicity and high signal-to-noise ratio. But they are less in sensitivity and stability caused by the insufficient crosslinking or non-specific binding of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) with targets. To address this problem, the CRISPR-Cas12a system was introduced into an MRS biosensor for the first time, to precisely control the binding of two types of MNPs with sizes of 130 nm (MNP130) and 30 nm (MNP30), for the sensitive detection of Salmonella. Delicately, the biosensor was designed based on the different magnetic properties of the two sizes of MNPs. The target Salmonella activated the collateral cleavage activity of the CRISPR-Cas12a system, which inhibited the binding of the two sizes of MNPs, resulting in an increase of unbound MNP30. After separating MNP130-MNP30 complexes and MNP130 from MNP30, the free MNP30 left in solution acted as transverse relaxation time (T2) signal reporters for Salmonella detection. Under optimized conditions, the CRISPR-MRS biosensor presented a limit of detection of 1.3 × 102 CFU mL-1 for Salmonella, which is lower than most MRS biosensor analogues. It also showed satisfactory specificity and performed well in spiked chicken meat samples. This biosensing strategy not only extends the reach of the CRISPR-Cas12a system in biosensors but also offers an alternative for pathogen detection with satisfactory sensitivity.

Abstract
Rapid detection of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a very important task in food safety monitoring. However, it is still challenging to achieve highly sensitive detection without antibody or aptamer biomolecules. In this work, a rapid detection of aflatoxin B1 was achieved using a ratiometric fluorescence probe without antibody or aptamer for the first time. In the ratiometric fluorescence system, the fluorescence emission of AFB1 at 433 nm was significantly enhanced due to the β-cyclodextrin-AFB1 host-guest interaction and the complexation of AFB1 and Pt2+. Meanwhile, the inclusion of aflatoxin B1 also quenched the fluorescence emission of β-CD@Cu nanoparticles (NPs) at 650 nm based on inner filter effect mechanism. On the basis of the above effects, the ratiometric detection of aflatoxin B1 was achieved in the range of 0.03-10 ng/mL with a low detection limit of 0.012 ng/mL (3σ/s). In addition, the β-CD@Cu NPs based nanoprobe could achieve stable response within 1 min to AFB1. The above ratiometric detection also demonstrated excellent application potential in the rapid on-site detection of AFB1 in food due to the advantages of convenience, rapidness, and high accuracy.

Abstract
Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), one of the most common mycotoxins in food matrixes, has been identified as the most toxic contaminant with mutagenic, teratogenic, immunosuppressive, and carcinogenic effects. In this study, an electrochemical aptamer sensor was developed for the on-site detection of AFB1. Carboxylated graphene oxide (COOH–GO) and carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (COOH–MWNT) nanocomposites, dopamine polymers (pDA) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were used to enhance the electrochemical activity and the biocompatibility of the screen-printed electrodes (SPE). Once AFB1 was captured by the aptamer immobilized on the electrode surface, the redox current of [Fe(CN)6]3−/4− decreased. Therefore, the binding of aptamer (Apt) and AFB1 can be reflected by the change of the peak current. The as-prepared sensor showed a wide detection range of 0.1 fg ml−1–100 pg ml−1 and a low detection limit of 15.16 ag ml−1. It is also simple and low-cost, which shows great potential in practical application. A novel COOH–GO–COOH–MWNT/pDA/AuNPs based electrochemical aptasensor was developed for detection of AFB1.![]()

Abstract
Nanozymes own striking merits, including high enzyme-mimicking activity, good stability, and low cost. Due to the powerful and distinguished functions, nanozymes exhibit widespread applications in the field of biosensing and immunoassay, attracting researchers in various fields to design and engineer nanozymes. Recently, nanozymes have been innovatively used to bridge nanotechnology with analytical techniques to achieve the high sensitivity, specificity, and reproducibility. However, the applications of nanozymes in food applications are seldom reviewed. In this review, we summarize several typical nanozymes and provide a comprehensive description of the history, principles, designs, and applications of nanozyme-based analytical techniques in food contaminants detection. Based on engineering and modification of nanozymes, the food contaminants are classified and then discussed in detail via discriminating the roles of nanozymes in various analytical methods, including fluorescence, colorimetric and electrochemical assay, surface-enhanced Raman scattering, magnetic relaxing sensing, and electrochemiluminescence. Further, representative examples of nanozymes-based methods are highlighted for contaminants analysis and inhibition. Finally, the current challenges and prospects of nanozymes are discussed.
