A novel red fluorescent and dynamic nanocomposite hydrogel based on chitosan and alginate doped with inclusion complex of carbon dots. Carbohydr Polym 2024; 342:122203. [PMID: 39048182 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2024.122203] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2024] [Revised: 04/05/2024] [Accepted: 04/22/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024]
Abstract
Red fluorescent hydrogels possessing injectable and self-healing properties have widespread potential in biomedical field. It is still a challenge to achieve a biomacromolecules based dynamic hydrogels simultaneously combining with excellent red fluorescence, good mechanical properties, and biocompatibility. Here we first explore hydrophilic inclusion complex of (R-CDs@α-CD) derived from hydrophobic red fluorescent carbon dots (R-CDs) and α-cyclodextrin (α-CD), and then achieved a red fluorescent and dynamic polysaccharide R-CDs@α-CD/CEC-l-OSA hydrogel. The nanocomposite hydrogel can be fabricated through controlled doping of red fluorescent R-CDs@α-CD into dynamic polymer networks, taking reversibly crosslinked N-carboxyethyl chitosan (CEC) and oxidized sodium alginate (OSA) as an example. The versatile red fluorescent hydrogel simultaneously combines the features of injection, biocompatibility, and augmented mechanical properties and self-healing behavior, especially in rapid self-recovery even after integration. The R-CDs@α-CD uniformly dispersed into dynamic hydrogel played the role of killing two birds with one stone, that is, endowing red emission of a hydrophilic fluorescent substance, and improving mechanical and self-healing properties as a dynamic nano-crosslinker, via forming hydrogen bonds as reversible crosslinkings. The novel red fluorescent and dynamic hydrogel based on polysaccharides is promising for using as biomaterials in biomedical field.

Abstract
On-site quantitative analysis of pesticide residues is crucial for monitoring environmental quality and ensuring food safety. Herein, we have developed a reliable hydrogel portable kit using NaYbF4@NaYF4: Yb, Tm upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) combined with MnO2 nanoflakes. This portable kit is integrated with a smartphone reader and Python-assisted analysis platform to enable sample-to-result analysis for chlorpyrifos. The novel UCNPs maximizes energy donation to MnO2 acceptor by employing 100 % of activator Yb3+ in the nucleus for NIR excitation energy collection and confining emitter Tm3+ to the surface layer to shorten energy transfer distance. Under NIR excitation, efficient quenching of upconversion blue-violet emission by MnO2 nanoflakes occurs, and the quenched emission is recovered with acetylcholinesterase-mediated reactions. This process allows for the determination of chlorpyrifos by inhibiting enzymatic activity. The UCNPs/MnO2 were embedded to fabricate a hydrogel portable kit, the blue-violet emission images captured by smartphone were converted into corresponding gray values by Python-assisted superiority chart algorithm which achieves a real-time rapid quantitative analysis of chlorpyrifos with a detection limit of 0.17 ng mL-1. At the same time, pseudo-color images were also added by Python in "one run" to distinguish images clearly. This sensor detection with Python-assisted analysis platform provides a new perspective on pesticide monitoring and broadens the application prospects in bioanalysis.

Abstract
Designing efficient and rapid methods for the detection of organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) residue is a prerequisite to mitigate their negative health impacts. In this study, we propose the concept of an enzyme catalysis system-based hydrogel kit integrated with a smartphone detector for in-field screening of OPs. Here, we rapidly prepared phosphotriesterase hybrid nanoflowers (PTE-HNFs) using a self-assembly strategy by adding external energy and embedded the nanocomposite in sodium alginate (SA) hydrogel to construct a target-responsive hydrogel kit. The color response of the kit is induced by catalyzing methyl parathion (MP) to produce p-nitrophenol. For on-site quantification, the color variations of the portable kit are converted into digital information through a smartphone, which exhibits an applicable linear range towards OPs. The hydrogel sensing platform demonstrates a wide linear range (1-150 μM) and low detection limit (0.15 μM) for MP while maintaining high reliability, excellent long-term stability, and ease of operation. Overall, the PTE-HNFs-based SA hydrogel kit provides a useful strategy for simple and sensitive detection of MP and holds great potential for applications in detecting OPs in food and environmental water.

Abstract
Hypoxanthine is a promising index for evaluating the freshness of various aquatic products. Combined the hydrogels containing upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs), Co3O4 NPs, and N-ethyl-N-(3-sulfopropyl)-3-methylaniline sodium salt/4-amino-antipyrine (TOPS/4-AAP) with a smartphone, a portable sensor was developed for the convenient, sensitive detection of hypoxanthine. With the H2O2 from xanthine oxidase (XOD)-catalyzed reactions of hypoxanthine, the fluorescence of UCNPs was effectively quenched by the purple product produced from the oxidization of TOPS/4-AAP catalyzed by Co3O4 NPs exhibiting peroxidase activity, among which the color change could be transformed into digital signals for quantification of hypoxanthine. The Green value in the RGB analysis of the fluorescence image was negatively proportional to hypoxanthine concentration in the range of 2.5-20 mg/L with a detection limit of 0.69 mg/L and a quantitation limit of 2.30 mg/L. Finally, this sensor was applied for hypoxanthine detection in real aquatic products, showing potential application for freshness evaluation of aquatic products.

Abstract
The development of portable and efficient nanoprobes to realize the quantitative/qualitative onsite determination of food pollutants is of immense importance for safeguarding human health and food safety. With the advent of the smartphone, the digital imaging property causes it to be an ideal diagnostic substrate to point-of-care analysis probes. Besides, merging the versatility of carbon dots nanostructures and bioreceptor abilities has opened an innovative assortment of construction blocks to design advanced nanoprobes or improving those existing ones. On this ground, massive endeavors have been made to combine mobile phones with smart nanomaterials to produce portable (bio)sensors in a reliable, low cost, rapid, and even facile-to-implement area with inadequate resources. Herein, this work outlines the latest advancement of carbon dots nanostructures on smartphone for onsite detecting of agri-food pollutants. Particularly, we afford a summary of numerous approaches applied for target molecule diagnosis (pesticides, mycotoxins, pathogens, antibiotics, and metal ions), for instance microscopic imaging, fluorescence, colorimetric, and electrochemical techniques. Authors tried to list those scaffolds that are well-recognized in complex media or those using novel constructions/techniques. Lastly, we also point out some challenges and appealing prospects related to the enhancement of high-efficiency smartphone based carbon dots systems.

Abstract
Food safety is a global issue in public hygiene. The accurate, sensitive, and on-site detection of various food contaminants performs significant implications. However, traditional methods suffer from the time-consuming and professional operation, restricting their on-site application. Hydrogels with the merits of highly porous structure, high biocompatibility, good shape-adaptability, and stimuli-responsiveness offer a promising biomaterial to design sensors for ensuring food safety. This review describes the emerging applications of hydrogel-based sensors in food safety inspection in recent years. In particular, this study elaborates on their fabrication strategies and unique sensing mechanisms depending on whether the hydrogel is stimuli-responsive or not. Stimuli-responsive hydrogels can be integrated with various functional ligands for sensitive and convenient detection via signal amplification and transduction; while non-stimuli-responsive hydrogels are mainly used as solid-state encapsulating carriers for signal probe, nanomaterial, or cell and as conductive media. In addition, their existing challenges, future perspectives, and application prospects are discussed. These practices greatly enrich the application scenarios and improve the detection performance of hydrogel-based sensors in food safety detection.

Abstract
As the most abundant and renewable natural resource, cellulose has attracted significant attention and research interest for the production of hydrogels (HGs). To address environmental issues and emerging demands, the benefits of naturally produced HGs include excellent mechanical properties and superior biocompatibility. HGs are three-dimensional networks created by chemical or physical cross-linking of linear or branched hydrophilic polymers and have high capacity for absorption of water and biological fluids. Although widely used in the food and biomedical fields, most HGs are not biodegradable. Nanocellulose hydrogels (NC-HGs) have been extensively applied in the food industry for detection of freshness, chemical additives, and substitutes, as well as the biomedical field for use as bioengineering scaffolds and drug delivery systems owing to structural interchangeability and stimuli-responsive properties. In this review article, the sources, structures, and preparation methods of NC-HGs are described, applications in the food and biomedical industries are summarized, and current limitations and future trends are discussed.

Abstract
Monitoring organophosphorus pesticides is significant for food safety assessment. Herein, we developed upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs)-based self-ratiometric fluorescent platform for the detection of chlorpyrifos. The UCNPs have the ability to confine the detection and reference functions in one nanoparticle. Specifically, the blue upconversion (UC) emission (448 nm) in the shell layer of UCNPs is quenched by the product of the acetylcholinesterase-mediated reaction, while the red UC emission (652 nm) from the core remains constant as a self-calibrated reference signal. Employing the inhibition property of chlorpyrifos, self-proportional fluorescence is employed to detect chlorpyrifos. As proof-of-concept, test strips are fabricated by loading the UCNPs onto filter paper. Combined with the smartphone and image-processing algorithm, chlorpyrifos quantitative testing is achieved with a detection limit of 14.4843 ng mL-1. This portable platform displays anti-interference capability and high stability in the complicated matrix, making it an effective candidate for on-site application.

PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2024; 311:124002. [PMID: 38364512 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2024.124002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2023] [Revised: 01/16/2024] [Accepted: 02/04/2024] [Indexed: 02/18/2024]
Abstract
Hexavalent chromium (Cr(Ⅵ)) is a significant environmental pollutant because of its toxic and carcinogenic properties and wide use in various industries. Hence, there is an urgent need to develop accurate and selective approaches to detect the concentration of Cr(Ⅵ) in agricultural and aquaculture products to help humans avoid potential hazards of indirectly taking in Cr(Ⅵ). In this work, we report a "turn off-on" fluorescent sensor based on citric acid coated, 808 nm-excited core-shell upconversion nanoparticles (CA-UCNPs) and self-assembled copper porphyrin nanoparticles (nano CuTPyP) for sensitive and specific detection of Cr(Ⅵ). Nano copper 5, 10, 15, 20-tetra(4-pyridyl)-21H-23H- porphine obtained by acid-base neutralization micelle-confined self-assembly method function as an effective quencher due to its excellent optical property and water solubility. Through electrostatic interactions, positively charged nano CuTPyP are attracted to the surface of negatively charged CA-UCNPs, which can almost completely quench the fluorescence emission. In the presence of Cr(Ⅵ), nano CuTPyP can discriminatively interact with Cr(Ⅵ) and form nano CuTPyP/Cr(Ⅵ) complex, which separates nano CuTPyP from CA-UCNPs and restores the fluorescence. The sensing system exhibits a good linear response to Cr(Ⅵ) concentration in the range from 0.5 to 400 µM with a detection limit of 0.36 µM. The sensing method also displays high selectivity against other common ions including trivalent chromium and is applied to the analysis of Cr(Ⅵ) in actual rice and fish samples with satisfactory results.

Abstract
A facilely in situ fabricated hydrogen-bonded organic framework (HOF) hydrogel film with perfect photoluminescent performance was designed for visual sensing of tetracycline antibiotics (TCs) and information security. Luminescent HOF (MA-IPA) was combined with sodium alginate (SA) through hydrogen bonding actions and electrostatic interactions, then cross-linked with Ca2+ ions to form HOF hydrogel film (Ca@MA-IPA@SA). The HOF hydrogel film exhibited exceptional mechanical robustness along with stable blue fluorescence and ultralong green phosphorescence. After exposure to TCs, Ca2+ was combined with TCs to generate a new green fluorescence exciplex (TC-Ca2+) in hydrogel films. Due to fluorescence resonance energy transfer, the fluorescence of MA-IPA was quenched, and the fluorescent color of the HOF hydrogel film was changed from blue to green. This dichromatic fluorescent response is convenient for the visual and rapid detection of TCs. The detection limits of tetracycline (TC), oxytetracycline (OTC), and chlortetracycline (CTC) were 5.1, 7.7, and 32.7 ng mL-1, respectively. Importantly, this hydrogel sensing platform was free of tedious operation and enabled the ultrasensitive and selective detection of TCs within 6 min. It has been successfully applied to TC detection in pork and milk samples. Based on the stable photoluminescence performance of HOF hydrogel films and fluorescent-responsive properties to TCs, two types of anticounterfeiting arrays were fabricated for information encryption and decryption. This work provides a novel approach for on-site detection of TCs and offers valuable insights into information security.

Abstract
A carboxylesterase fluorescent probe (Probe 1) was developed for determination of carboxylesterase to guide detection of carbamate pesticide. The probe uses benzothiazole as fluorescence group and phenyldimethyl carbamate as recognition group. The solution of the fluorescent probe gradually changes from light blue to dark blue as the concentration of carbamate pesticides increases. The concentration of carbamate pesticides can be quickly calculated according to the colour of the probe solution through Get Color software on a smartphone. It showed that Probe 1 can be used as a rapid detection tool to achieve rapid detection of carbamate pesticides in juice samples without professional personnel and equipment. Furthermore, the probe has been successfully used to detect carbamate pesticides in fruit juice and vegetable juice.

Abstract
Food safety has increasingly become a human health issue that concerns all countries in the world. Some substances in food that can pose a significant threat to human health include, but are not limited to, pesticides, biotoxins, antibiotics, pathogenic bacteria, food quality indicators, heavy metals, and illegal additives. The traditional methods of food contaminant detection have practical limitations or analytical defects, restricting their on-site application. Hydrogels with the merits of a large surface area, highly porous structure, good shape-adaptability, excellent biocompatibility, and mechanical stability have been widely studied in the field of food safety sensing. The classification, response mechanism, and recent application of hydrogel-based biosensors in food safety are reviewed in this paper. Furthermore, the challenges and future trends of hydrogel biosensors are also discussed.

Abstract
Carbaryl and carbofuran are the carbamate pesticides which have been widely used worldwide to control insects in crops and house. If the pesticides entered in to the food products and drinking water, they could cause serious health effects in humans. Therefore, the development of a rapid, simple, sensitive and selective analytical device for on-site detection of carbamates is crucial to evaluate food and environmental samples. Recently, semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotube-based field effect transistors (s-SWCNT/FETs) have shown several advantages such as high carrier mobility, good on/off ratio, quasi ballistic electron transport, label-free detection and real-time response. Herein, cobalt ferrite (CFO) nanoparticles decorated s-SWCNTs have been prepared and used to bridge the source and drain electrodes. As-prepared CFO/s-SWCNT/FET had been used for the non-enzymatic detection of carbaryl and carbofuran. When used as a sensing platform, the CFO/s-SWCNT hybrid film exhibited high sensitivity, and selectivity with a wide linear range of detection from 10 to 100 fMand the lowest limit of detections for carbaryl (0.11 fM) and carbofuran (0.07 fM) were estimated. This sensor was also used to detect carbaryl in tomato and cabbage samples, which confirmed its practical acceptance. Such performance may be attributed to the oxidation of carbamates by potent catalytic activity of CFO, which led to the changes in the charge transfer reaction on the s-SWCNTs/FET conduction channel. This work presents a novel CFO/s-SWCNT based sensing system which could be used to quantify pesticide residues in food samples.

Abstract
Food safety is a burning global issue in this present era. The prevalence of harmful food additives and contaminants in everyday food is a significant cause for concern as they can adversely affect human health. More particularly, among the different food contaminants, the use of excessive pesticides in agricultural products is severely hazardous. So, the optical detection of residual pesticides is an effective strategy to counter the hazardous effect and ensure food safety. In this perspective, nanomaterials have played a leading role in defending the open threat against food safety instigated by the reckless use of pesticides. Now, nanomaterial-based optical detection of pesticides has reached full pace and needs an inclusive discussion. This Review covers the advancement of photoprocess-based optical detection of pesticides categorically using nanomaterials. Here, we have thoroughly dissected the photoprocesses (aggregation and aggregation-induced emission (AIE), charge transfer and intramolecular charge transfer (ICT), electron transfer and photoinduced electron transfer (PET), fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), hydrogen bonding, and inner filter effect) and categorically demarcated their significant role in the optical detection of pesticides by luminescent nanomaterials over the last few years.

Abstract
Credible and on-site detection of organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) in complex matrixes is significant for food security and environmental monitoring. Herein, a novel COF/methylene blue@MnO2 (COF/MB@MnO2) composite featured abundant signal loading, a specific recognition unit, and robust oxidase-like activity was successfully prepared through facile assembly processes. The multifunctional composite acted as a homogeneous electrochemical and photothermal dual-mode sensing platform for OPs detection through stimuli-responsive regulation. Without the presence of OPs, the surface MnO2 coating could recognize thiocholine (TCh), originating from acetylcholinesterase (AChE)-catalyzed hydrolysis of acetylthiocholine (ATCh), and exhibited a distinctly amplified diffusion current due to the release of plentiful MB; while the residual MnO2 nanosheets could only catalyze less TMB into oxidized TMB (oxTMB) with a typical near-infrared (NIR) absorption, enabling NIR-driven photothermal assay with a low temperature using a portable thermometer. Based on the inhibitory effect of OPs on AChE activity and OP-regulated generation of TCh, chlorpyrifos as a model target can be accurately detected with a low limit of detection of 0.0632 and 0.108 ng/mL by complementary electrochemical and photothermal measurements, respectively. The present dual-mode sensor was demonstrated to be excellent for application to the reliable detection of OPs in complex environmental and food samples. This work can not only provide a complementary dual-mode method for convenient and on-site detection of OPs in different scenarios but also expand the application scope of the COF-based multifunctional composite in multimodal sensors.

Abstract
This study synthesized the NaGdF4@NaGdF4: Yb, Tm@NaGdF4: Yb, Nd upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs), combined with another three-layer structure NaYF4@NaYF4: Yb, Er@NaYF4 UCNPs, with a core-shell-shell structure, effectively suppressing fluorescence quenching and significantly improving upconversion luminescence efficiency. Two types of modified UCNPs were coupled with antibodies against fenpropathrin and procymidone to form signal probes, and magnetic nanoparticles were coupled with antigens of fenpropathrin and procymidone to form capture probes. A rapid and sensitive fluorescence immunoassay for the simultaneous detection of fenpropathrin and procymidone was established based on the principle of specific binding of antigen and antibody and magnetic separation technology. Under the optimal competitive reaction conditions, different concentrations of fenpropathrin and procymidone standards were added to collect the capture probe-signal probe complex. The fluorescence values at 542 nm and 802 nm were measured using 980 nm excitation luminescence. The results showed that the detection limits of fenpropathrin and procymidone were 0.114 µg/kg and 0.082 µg/kg, respectively, with sensitivities of 8.15 µg/kg and 7.98 µg/kg, and they were applied to the detection of fenpropathrin and procymidone in tomatoes, cucumbers, and cabbage. The average recovery rates were 86.5~100.2% and 85.61~102.43%, respectively, with coefficients of variation less than 10%. The results showed good consistency with the detection results of high-performance liquid chromatography, proving that this method has good accuracy and is suitable for the rapid detection of fenpropathrin and procymidone in food.

Abstract
Achieving single-band upconversion (UC) is a challenging but rewarding approach to attain optimal performance in diverse applications. In this paper, we successfully achieved single-band red UC luminescence in Yb2O3: Er transparent ceramics (TCs) through the utilization of a sensitizer-rich design. The Yb2O3 host, which has a maximum host lattice occupancy by Yb3+ sensitizers, facilitates the utilization of excitation light and enhances energy transfer to activators, resulting in improved UC luminescence. Specifically, by shortening the ionic spacing between sensitizer and activator, the energy back transfer and the cross-relaxation process are promoted, resulting in weakening of green energy level 4S3/2 and 2H11/2 emission and enhancement of red energy level 4F9/2 emission. The prepared Yb2O3: Er TCs exhibited superior optical properties with in-line transmittance over 80% at 600 nm. Notably, in the 980nm-excited UC spectrum, green emission does not appear, thus Yb2O3: Er TCs exhibit ultra-pure single band red emission, with CIE coordinates of (0.72, 0.28) and color purity exceeding 99.9%. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of pure red UC luminescence in TCs. Furthermore, the luminescent intensity ratio (LIR) technique was utilized to apply this pure red-emitting TCs for temperature sensing. The absolute sensitivity of Yb2O3: Er TCs was calculated to be 0.319% K-1 at 304 K, which is the highest level of optical thermometry based on 4F9/2 levels splitting of Er3+ known so far. The integration between pure red UC luminescence and temperature sensing performance opens up new possibilities for the development of multi-functional smart windows.

Abstract
With the increasing concerns of food safety and environmental protection, it is desirable to develop reliable, effective, and portable sensors for detection of organophosphorus pesticides (OPs). Here, a cascade reaction system integrated with threaded 3D microfluidic paper analytical device (3D μPAD) was firstly developed for background-free and visual detection of OPs in agricultural samples. Butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) hydrolyzed acetylcholine into thiocholine (TCh), which reduced MnO2 nanosheets into Mn2+. With addition of OPs, BChE activity was irreversibly inhibited, and the generation of TCh and the reduction of MnO2 nanosheets were prevented. Then the remaining MnO2 nanosheets oxidized o-phenylenediamine into 2,3-diaminophenazine with yellow-emission fluorescence, which quenched the fluorescence intensity of red-emission carbon dots (RCDs) via inner-filter effect. Based on above mechanism, a ratiometric fluorescent system was established for OPs detection. Threaded 3D μPAD consisted of 4 layers, which allowed to load and/or add reagents to trigger the cascade reaction system for OPs detection. The fluorescent images presented distinguishable color variations from red to yellow with dichlorvos concentrations ranging from 2.5 to 120 μg L-1, and the limit of detection was 1.0 μg L-1. In the practical samples testing, threaded 3D μPAD can eliminate background influence on fluorescent signal for OPs detection. Threaded 3D μPAD integrated with ratiometric sensing platform has merits of accuracy response, facile operation, and background-free detection, which supplies a new alternative approach for on-site pesticide detection.

Abstract
The development of a portable, quantitative, and user-friendly sensor for on-site monitoring of organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) is significantly urgent to guarantee food safety. Herein, a carbon dot/cobalt oxyhydroxide composite (CD/CoOOH)-based fluorescent hydrogel sensor is constructed for precisely quantifying OPs using a homemade portable auxiliary device. As a fluorescence signal indicator, the orange-emissive CD/CoOOH composite is encapsulated into an agarose hydrogel kit for amplifying the detection signals, shielding background interference, and enhancing stability. Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) catalyzes the hydrolysis of the substrate to produce thiocholine, which induces the decomposition of CoOOH and makes the fluorescence enhancement of the hydrogel platform possible. OPs can specifically block the AChE activity to limit thiocholine production, resulting in a decrease in platform fluorescence. The image color of the fluorescent hydrogel kit is transformed into digital information using a homemade auxiliary device, achieving on-site quantitative detection of paraoxon (model target) with a detection limit of 10 ng mL-1. Harnessing CD/CoOOH composite signatures, hydrogel encapsulation, and portable optical devices, the proposed fluorescence hydrogel platform demonstrated high sensitivity and good anti-interference performance in agricultural sample analysis, indicating considerable potential in the on-site application.

Abstract
A new N,O-rich covalent organic framework (COFDHNDA-BTH) was synthesized by an amine-aldehyde condensation reaction between 2,6-dialdehyde-1,5-dihydroxynaphthalene (DHNDA) and 1,3,5-phenyltriformylhydrazine (BTH) for carbaryl detection. The free NH, OH, and C=O groups of COFDHNDA-BTH not only covalently couples with acetylcholinesterase (AChE) into the pores of COFDHNDA-BTH, but also greatly improves the catalytic activity of AChE in the constrained environment of COFDHNDA-BTH's pore. Under the catalysis of AChE, the acetylthiocholine (ATCl) was decomposed into positively charged thiocholine (TCl), which was captured on the COFDHNDA-BTH modified electrode. The positive charges of TCl can attract anionic probe [Fe(CN)6]3-/4- on the COFDHNDA-BTH-modified electrode to show a good oxidation peak at 0.25 V (versus a saturated calomel electrode). The carbaryl detection can inhibit the activity of AChE, resulting in the decrease in the oxidation peak. Therefore, a turn-off electrochemical carbaryl biosensor based on a flexible carbon paper electrode loaded with COFDHNDA-BTH and AChE was constructed using the oxidation peak of an anionic probe [Fe(CN)6]3-/4- as the detection signal. The detection limit was 0.16 μM (S/N = 3), and the linear range was 0.48~35.0 μM. The sensor has good selectivity, repeatability, and stability, and has a good application prospect in pesticide detection.

Abstract
Gels refer to the soft and flexible macromolecular polymeric materials retaining a large amount of water or biofluids in their three-dimensional network structure. Gels have attracted increasing interest in the food discipline, especially proteins and polysaccharides, due to their good biocompatibility, biodegradability, nutritional properties, and edibility. With the advancement of living standards, people's demand for nutritious, safe, reliable, and functionally diverse food and even personalized food has increased. As a result, gels exhibiting unique advantages in food application will be of great significance. However, a comprehensive review of functional hydrogels as food gels is still lacking. Here, we comprehensively review the gel-forming mechanisms of food gels and systematically classify them. Moreover, the potential of hydrogels as functional foods in different types of food areas is summarized, with a special focus on their applications in food packaging, satiating gels, nutrient delivery systems, food coloring adsorption, and food safety monitoring. Additionally, the key scientific issues for future food gel research, with specific reference to future novel food designs, mechanisms between food components and matrices, food gel-human interactions, and food gel safety, are discussed. Finally, the future directions of hydrogels for food science and technology are summarized.

Abstract
A ratiometric electrochemical biosensor based on a covalent organic framework (COFThi-TFPB) loaded with acetylcholinesterase (AChE) was developed. First, an electroactive COFThi-TFPB with a two-dimensional sheet structure, positive charge and a pair of inert redox peaks was synthesized via a dehydration condensation reaction between positively charged thionine (Thi) and 1,3,5-triformylphenylbenzene (TFPB). The immobilization of AChE on the positively charged electrode surface was beneficial for maintaining its bioactivity and achieving the best catalytic effect; therefore, the positively charged COFThi-TFPB was an appropriate support material for AChE. Furthermore, the COFThi-TFPB provided a stable internal reference signal for the constructed AChE inhibition-based electrochemical biosensor to eliminate various effects which were unrelated to the detection of carbaryl. The sensor had a linear range of 2.2–60 μM with a detection limit of 0.22 μM, and exhibited satisfactory reproducibility, stability and anti-interference ability for the detection of carbaryl. This work offers a possibility for the application of COF-based materials in the detection of low-level pesticide residues.

Highly stable acetylcholinesterase electrochemical biosensor based on polymerized ionic liquids microgel for pesticides detection. Mikrochim Acta 2022; 189:300.

Abstract
A highly stable electrochemical biosensor for pesticide detection was developed. For the first time polymeric ionic liquids (PILs) were introduced to construct an acetylcholinesterase (AChE) biosensor . AChE was entrapped in PILs microspheres through an emulsion polymerization reaction, where negatively charged Au nanoparticles (Au NPs) can be immobilized by the positively charged PILs, leading to improved catalytic performance. The results suggest that the positively charged PILs not only provide a biocompatible microenvironment around the enzyme molecule, stabilizing its biological activity and preventing its leakage, but also act as a modifiable interface allowing other components with electron transport properties to be loaded onto the polymer substrate, thus providing an efficient electron transport channel for the entrapped enzyme. More notably, when AChE was immobilized in a positively charged environment, the active site is closer to the electrode, promoting faster electron transfer. The detection limits of the constructed electrochemical biosensor AChE@PILs@Au NPs/GCE toward carbaryl and dichlorvos (DDVP) were 5.0 × 10-2 ng ml-1 and 3.9 × 10-2 ng ml-1, in a wide linear range of 6.3 × 10-2-8.8 × 102 ng ml-1 and 1.3 × 10-1-1.4 × 103 ng ml-1, respectively. More importantly, the biosensor has high thermal and storage stability, which facilitates rapid field analysis of fruits and vegetables in a variety of climates. In addition, the biosensor reported has good repeatability and selectivity and has high accuracy in the analysis of peaches, tap water, and other types of samples.

Abstract
The residues of organophosphorus pesticides have caused the potential risk in environment and human health, arousing worldwidely great concern. Herein, we fabricated a robust gold nanoclusters/MnO2 composites-based hydrogel portable kit for accurate monitoring of paraoxon residues and degradation in Chinese cabbages. With the immobilization of gold nanoclusters/MnO2 composites into a hydrogel, a ratiometric fluorescent signal is generated by catalyzing the oxidation of o-phenylenediamine, which possesses a built-in correction with low background interference. Coupling with acetylcholinesterase catalytic reactions and pesticide inhibition effect, the portable kit can sensitively detect paraoxon residues with a detection limit of 5.0 ng mL-1. For on-site quantification, the fluorescent color variations of portable kit are converted into digital information that exhibits applicative linear range toward pesticide. Notably, the hydrogel portable kit was successfully applied for precisely monitoring the residue and degradation of paraoxon in Chinese cabbage, providing a potential pathway toward practical point-of-care testing in food safety monitoring.

Highly specific esterase activated AIE plus ESIPT probe for sensitive ratiometric detection of carbaryl. Talanta 2022; 246:123517.

Abstract
Fabrication of facile, sensitive, and accurate pesticide detection strategies plays crucial roles in food safety, environmental protection, and human health. Here, a novel esterase activatable aggregation-induced emission (AIE) plus excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) probe, kaempferol tetraacetate, was designed and synthesized from purified natural kaempferol for ratiometric sensing of carbaryl. Acetate groups are introduced as the esterase reactive sites and AIE plus ESIPT initiator. Kaempferol tetraacetate is an aggregation-caused quenching compound that shows fluorescent (FL) emission at 415 nm. Esterase specifically hydrolyzes kaempferol tetraacetate to kaempferol with AIE plus ESIPT characteristics (distinct FL emission, 530 nm; a large Stokes shift, 165 nm within a short time (8 min). Molecular docking and kinetics performance indicate the high affinity and specific hydrolysis of esterase and kaempferol tetraacetate. Carbaryl inhibits the activity of esterase to efficiently suppress the production of kaempferol. Thus, a facile ratiometric assay strategy is constructed for carbaryl detection. By measuring the FL intensity ratio, the proposed strategy presents high selectivity and reliability with a wide linear range from 0.02 to 2.00 μg L-1 and a very low limit of detection at 0.007 μg L-1. Furthermore, appropriate recovery from 93.75% to 108.67% with a relative standard deviation less than 5.66% for real sample analysis indicates good accuracy and precision. All results indicate that the fabricated strategy offers a new way for facile, sensitive, and accurate detection of carbaryl in real complex samples.

Abstract
Portable devices possess powerful application prospects in on-site sensing without the limitation of bulky instruments. Given the relevance of pesticides to food safety, we herein fabricated a robust gold nanocluster (AuNC)-based hydrogel test kit for precisely quantified chlorpyrifos by using a three-dimensional (3D) printed subsidiary device. In this work, the fluorescence of AuNC-based hydrogel could be efficiently quenched by cobalt oxyhydroxide nanoflakes (CoOOH NFs) through the Förster resonance energy transfer effect. Chlorpyrifos as an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor controls the enzymatic hydrolysis reaction and further regulates the production of thiocholine that could decompose CoOOH nanoflakes into Co2+, resulting in the fluorescence response of AuNC-based hydrogel. By using a homemade subsidiary device and smartphone, the fluorescence color was transformed into digital information, achieving the on-site quantitative detection of chlorpyrifos with the limit of detection of 0.59 ng ml−1. Owing to specific AuNC signatures and hydrogel encapsulation, the proposed fluorescence hydrogel test kit displayed high sensitivity, good selectivity, and anti-interference capability in a real sample analysis, providing great potential in on-site applications.
