Abstract
Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a mycotoxin that globally contaminates fruits and their products. Since OTA have a huge negative impact on health hazards and economic losses, it is imperative to establish an effective and safe strategy for detoxification. Here, pancreatin was immobilized on the surface of polydopamine functionalized magnetic porous chitosan (MPCTS@ PDA) for the degradation of OTA. Compared with free pancreatin, MPCTS@ PDA@ pancreatin displayed excellent thermal stability, acid resistance, storage stability and OTA detoxification in wine (>58%). Moreover, the MPCTS@ PDA@ pancreatin retained 43% initial activity after 8 reuse cycles. There was no significant change in the quality of wine after MPCTS@ PDA@ pancreatin treatment. Moreover, it did not exhibit cytotoxicity which facilitated its application in wine. These results demonstrated that MPCTS@ PDA@ pancreatin can be used as a highly effective biocatalysate for OTA detoxification in wine.

[PMID: 38922171 PMCID: PMC11209579 DOI: 10.3390/toxins16060277] [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: 05/06/2024] [Revised: 05/29/2024] [Accepted: 06/01/2024] [Indexed: 06/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Viticulture has been an important economic sector for centuries. In recent decades, global wine production has fluctuated between 250 and almost 300 million hectoliters, and in 2022, the value of wine exports reached EUR 37.6 billion. Climate change and the associated higher temperatures could favor the occurrence of ochratoxin A (OTA) in wine. OTA is a mycotoxin produced by some species of the genera Aspergillus and Penicillium and has nephrotoxic, immunotoxic, teratogenic, hepatotoxic, and carcinogenic effects on animals and humans. The presence of this toxin in wine is related to the type of wine-red wines are more frequently contaminated with OTA-and the geographical location of the vineyard. In Europe, the lower the latitude, the greater the risk of OTA contamination in wine. However, climate change could increase the risk of OTA contamination in wine in other regions. Due to their toxic effects, the development of effective and environmentally friendly methods to prevent, decontaminate, and degrade OTA is essential. This review summarises the available research on biological aspects of OTA prevention, removal, and degradation.

Argoubi W, Algethami FK, Raouafi N. Enhanced sensitivity in electrochemical detection of ochratoxin A within food samples using ferrocene- and aptamer-tethered gold nanoparticles on disposable electrodes. RSC Adv 2024; 14:8007-8015. [PMID: 38454949 PMCID: PMC10918640 DOI: 10.1039/d3ra08567h] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2023] [Accepted: 03/01/2024] [Indexed: 03/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Ensuring food security is crucial for public health, and the presence of mycotoxins, produced by fungi in improperly stored processed or unprocessed food, poses a significant threat. This research introduces a novel approach - a disposable aptasensing platform designed for the detection of ochratoxin A (OTA). The platform employs gold-nanostructured screen-printed carbon electrodes functionalized with a ferrocene derivative, serving as an integrated faradaic transducing system, and an anti-OTA aptamer as a bioreceptor site. Detection relies on the ferrocene electrochemical signal changes induced by the aptamer folding in the presence of the target molecule. Remarkably sensitive, the platform detects OTA within the range of 0.5 to 70 ng mL-1 and a detection limit of 11 pg mL-1. This limit is approximately 200 times below the levels stipulated by the European Commission for agricultural commodities. Notably, the sensing device exhibits efficacy in detecting OTA in complex media, such as roasted coffee beans and wine, without the need for sample pretreatment, yielding accurate recoveries. Furthermore, while label-free electrochemical aptasensors have proliferated, this study addresses a gap in understanding the binding mechanisms of some aptasensors. To enhance the experimental findings, a theoretical study was conducted to underscore the specificity of the anti-OTA aptamer as a donor for OTA detection. The molecular docking technique was employed to unveil the key binding region of the aptamer, providing valuable insights into the aptasensor specificity.

Abstract
Ochratoxin A (OTA), a dangerous mycotoxin, is found in many crops. It is essential to create sensitive OTA detection techniques to ensure food safety. Based on the principle of p-nitrophenol (PNP) quenched the fluorescence of bovine serum albumin silver nanocluster (BSA-AgNCs) through an internal filtering effect, and phosphate activated fluorescence of calcein-Ce3+ system, a ratiometric fluorescence immunoassay for OTA detection was developed. In this strategy, the value of F518/F640 was used as a signal for response of OTA concentration. The detection range of this strategy was 0.625-25 ng/mL, the limit of detection (LOD) was 0.04 ng/mL. This new immunoassay offered a brand-new platform for detecting OTA.

Abstract
Edibles are the only source of nutrients and energy for humans. However, ingredients of edibles have undergone many physicochemical changes during preparation and storage. Aging, hydrolysis, oxidation, and rancidity are some of the major changes that not only change the native flavor, texture, and taste of food but also destroy the nutritive value and jeopardize public health. The major reasons for the production of harmful metabolites, chemicals, and toxins are poor processing, inappropriate storage, and microbial spoilage, which are lethal to consumers. In addition, the emergence of new pollutants has intensified the need for advanced and rapid food analysis techniques to detect such toxins. The issue with the detection of toxins in food samples is the nonvolatile nature and absence of detectable chromophores; hence, normal conventional techniques need additional derivatization. Mass spectrometry (MS) offers high sensitivity, selectivity, and capability to handle complex mixtures, making it an ideal analytical technique for the identification and quantification of food toxins. Recent technological advancements, such as high-resolution MS and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), have significantly improved sensitivity, enabling the detection of food toxins at ultralow levels. Moreover, the emergence of ambient ionization techniques has facilitated rapid in situ analysis of samples with lower time and resources. Despite numerous advantages, the widespread adoption of MS in routine food safety monitoring faces certain challenges such as instrument cost, complexity, data analysis, and standardization of methods. Nevertheless, the continuous advancements in MS-technology and its integration with complementary techniques hold promising prospects for revolutionizing food safety monitoring. This review discusses the application of MS in detecting various food toxins including mycotoxins, marine biotoxins, and plant-derived toxins. It also explores the implementation of untargeted approaches, such as metabolomics and proteomics, for the discovery of novel and emerging food toxins, enhancing our understanding of potential hazards in the food supply chain.

Abstract
Coffee flavor considerably depends on the fermentation process, with contributing factors including fermentation temperature, oxygen concentration, and microbial diversity. Efficient controlling of the fermentation can improve the quality of coffee beverages. Therefore, several studies on coffee fermentation processes have been conducted in various regions. The objective of this study was to assess the microbial diversity of coffee beans undergoing anaerobic fermentation at various temperatures (4 °C or 37 °C) and fermentation durations (12 h or 36 h) using full-length 16S rRNA sequencing. This analysis aimed to evaluate the inhibitory effects of the fermented metabolites against ochratoxin-producing Aspergillus niger. From our results, Acetobacter was identified as the dominant microbial community at higher fermentation temperatures, whereas Leuconostoc and Gluconobacter were the dominant genera at lower temperatures. However, at lower temperatures, changes in microbial communities were relatively slow. This study expands our knowledge of the microbial diversity involved in the anaerobic fermentation of coffee beans in Taiwan. The findings of this study can be used in future research to cultivate microorganisms linked to the quality and improve the quality of coffee beverages through fermentation.

Abstract
The prevalence of ochratoxin A (OTA) in meat, edible offal, and meat products (MOP) was assessed through systematic review and meta-analysis. Four electronic databases were used to gather data from 1975 to September 15, 2022. Seventy-five articles comprising 8585 samples were identified and analyzed. The studies included in the analysis were conducted at a global level, with a predominant focus on Europe [72% (54/75)], Asia [13.33% (10/75)], Africa [13.33% (10/75)], and North America [1.33% (1/75)]. The overall prevalence of OTA in MOP was 39%. The highest and lowest prevalence percentages were recorded in Iraq (77%) and the USA (3%), respectively. Concerning food type, OTA prevalence was highest in the poultry gizzard (66%) and lowest in the cow liver (2%). The overall concentration of OTA in the MOP was 1.789 μg/kg. Poultry kidneys had the highest concentration of OTA (0.880-22.984 μg/kg), while pork had the lowest concentration (0.127-0.824 μg/kg). Conspicuous amounts of OTA contamination have been reported in fermented sausages. The lowest OTA concentration was found in Belgium (0.220 μg/kg) and the highest in Denmark (60.527μg/kg). These results can help food authorities minimize and control OTA in the MOP.

Abstract
In this study, an ultrasensitive electrochemical (EC) aptasensor with Nafion-stabilized functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (f-MWCNTs) as signal enhancers was established for ochratoxin A (OTA) determination. Herein, f-MWCNTs were prepared through functionalization with nitric acid. The incorporation of Nafion promoted a good dispersion of f-MWCNTs and prevented their leaching on the electrode, making a robust stability of the aptasensor. The Nafion-f-MWCNTs composites were used as the sensing substrates to largely enhance the electroactive surface area and the conductivity of the electrode, realizing a significant signal amplification. Carboxyl groups on the surface of f-MWCNTs readily exposed from Nafion membrane to couple with streptavidin, facilitating the immobilization of biotinylated aptamers to achieve selective recognition towards OTA. When OTA existed, aptamers preferentially combined with it, causing a noticeable decline in the current response. Under optimum conditions, a good linear relationship between the current changes and the logarithm of OTA concentration was observed from 0.005 ng/mL to 10 ng/mL, with a limit of detection low to 1 pg/mL for OTA. The specific, sensitive, and reproducible aptasensor succeeded in application in malt samples, confirming a great promise for more contaminants and providing a universal platform in complex matrices by simply replacing the corresponding aptamers.

Abstract
Ochratoxin A (OTA) pollution in agricultural products has raised the pressing to develop sensitive, accurate and convenient detection methods. Herein, an accurate and ultrasensitive ratiometric electrochemical aptasensor was proposed based on catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) for OTA detection. In this strategy, the target recognition and CHA reaction were both accomplished in the same system, which avoided tedious multi-steps operation and extra reagents, providing the advantage of convenience with only a one-step reaction and without enzyme. The labeled Fc and MB were used as the signal-switching molecules, avoiding various interferences and greatly improving the reproducibility (RSD: 3.197%). This aptasensor achieved trace-level detection for OTA with LOD of 81 fg/mL in the linear range of lower concentration (100 fg/mL-50 ng/mL). Moreover, this strategy was successfully applied to OTA detection in cereals with comparable results of HPLC-MS. This aptasensor provided a viable platform for accurate, ultrasensitive, and one-step detection of OTA in food.

[PMID: 36539080 DOI: 10.1016/j.toxicon.2022.107005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2022] [Revised: 11/30/2022] [Accepted: 12/16/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
Ochratoxins (OTs) is an extremely toxic mycotoxin in which Ochratoxin A (OTA) is the most toxic and prevalent in the ochratoxin family. OTA is among the five most critical mycotoxins that are subject to legal regulations. Animals and humans may be exposed to OTA through dietary intake, inhalation, and dermal contact. OTA is considered nephrotoxic, genotoxic, cytotoxic, teratogenic, carcinogenic, mutagenic, immunotoxic, and myelotoxic. So, intake of OTA contaminated foods and feeds can impact the productivity of animals and health of people. According to this review, several studies have reported on the approaches that have been established for OTA removal. This review focused on the control approaches to mitigate OTA contamination, OTA bio-detoxification materials and their applicable techniques, recombinant strains for OTA bio-detoxification, and their detoxification effects, recombinant OTA-degrading enzymes and their sources, recombinant fusion enzymes for OTA, ZEN and AFB1 mycotoxins detoxification, as well as the current application and commercialized OTA bio-detoxification products. However, there is no single technique that has been approved to detoxify OTA by 100% to date. Some preferred current strategies for OTA bio-detoxification have been recombinant degrading enzymes and genetic engineering technology due to their efficiency and safety. Therefore, prospective studies should focus on standardizing pure enzymes from genetically engineered microbial strains that have great potential for OTA detoxification.
