THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 950:174252. [PMID: 38942304 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.174252] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2024] [Revised: 06/06/2024] [Accepted: 06/22/2024] [Indexed: 06/30/2024]
Abstract
The agricultural sector plays a pivotal role in driving the economy of many developing countries. Any dent in this economical structure may have a severe impact on a country's population. With rising climate change and increasing pollution, the agricultural sector is experiencing significant damage. Over time this cumulative damage will affect the integrity of food crops and create food security issues around the world. Therefore, an early warning system is needed to detect possible stress on food crops. Here we present a review of the recent developments in nanomaterial-based Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) substrates which could be utilized to monitor agricultural crop responses to natural and anthropogenic stress. Initially, our review delves into diverse and cost-effective strategies for fabricating SERS substrates, emphasizing their intelligent utilization across various agricultural scenarios. In the second phase of our review, we spotlight the specific application of SERS in addressing critical food security issues. By detecting nutrients, hormones, and effector molecules in plants, SERS provides valuable insights into plant health. Furthermore, our exploration extends to the detection of contaminants, chemicals, and foodborne pathogens within plants, showcasing the versatility of SERS in ensuring food safety. The cumulative knowledge derived from these discussions illustrates the transformative potential of SERS in bolstering the agricultural economy. By enhancing precision in nutrient management, monitoring plant health, and enabling rapid detection of harmful substances, SERS emerges as a pivotal tool in promoting sustainable and secure agricultural practices. Its integration into agricultural processes not only augments productivity but also establishes a robust defence against potential threats to crop yield and food quality. As SERS continues to evolve, its role in shaping the future of agriculture becomes increasingly pronounced, promising a paradigm shift in how we approach and address challenges in food production and safety.

Layer-by-Layer Biopolymer Assembly for the In Situ Fabrication of AuNP Plasmonic Paper-A SERS Substrate for Food Adulteration Detection. ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:10099-10109. [PMID: 38463332 PMCID: PMC10918676 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c05966] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2023] [Revised: 01/31/2024] [Accepted: 02/02/2024] [Indexed: 03/12/2024]
Abstract
Here, we introduce an environmentally friendly approach to fabricate a simple and cost-effective plasmonic paper for detecting food additives using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). The plasmonic paper is fabricated by in situ growth of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) on filter paper (FP). To facilitate this green fabrication process, we applied a double-layered coating of biopolymers, chitosan (CS) and alginate (ALG), onto the FP using a layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly through electrostatic interactions. Compared to single-layer biopolymer coatings, double-layered biopolymer-coated paper, ALG/CS/FP, significantly improves the reduction properties. Consequently, effective in situ growth of AuNPs can be achieved as seen in high density of AuNP formation on the substrate. The resulting plasmonic paper provides high SERS performance with an enhancement factor (EF) of 5.7 × 1010 and a low limit of detection (LOD) as low as 1.37 × 10-12 M 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA). Furthermore, it exhibits spot-to-spot reproducibility with a relative standard deviation (RSD) of 8.2% for SERS analysis and long-term stability over 50 days. This paper-based SERS substrate is applied for melamine (MEL) detection with a low detection limit of 0.2 ppb, which is sufficient for monitoring MEL contamination in milk based on food regulations. Additionally, we demonstrate a simultaneous detection of β-agonists, including ractopamine (RAC) and salbutamol (SAL), exhibiting the multiplexing capability and versatility of the plasmonic paper in food contaminant analysis. The development of this simple plasmonic paper through the LbL biopolymer assembly not only paves the way for novel SERS substrate fabrication but also broadens the application of SERS technology in food contaminant monitoring.

Abstract
Melamine is a chemical compound that is added to dairy products to increase the apparent protein content for higher profit margins. However, extended consumption of melamine can cause health risks. The SERS technique has proven to be an important tool for detecting small compounds, such as melamine. Here, a paper-based flexible nanoparticles (NPs)-hybrid SERS substrate was designed by drop-casting pegylated gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) on the filter papers. In SERS characterization, this substrate exhibited an enhancement factor of 108 and a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 10-8 M for Rhodamine 6G dye. Furthermore, we successfully utilized these substrates to detect the melamine spiked milk sample with an LOD as low as 0.01 ppm. This hybrid SERS substrate offers a low-cost, biocompatible, and easy-to-use fabrication for large-scale production, which may be widely used in food safety applications.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has been used in atmospheric aerosol detection as it enables the high-resolution analysis of particulate matter. However, its use in the detection of historical samples without damaging the sampling membrane while achieving effective transfer and the high-sensitivity analysis of particulate matter from sample films remains challenging. In this study, a new type of SERS tape was developed, consisting of Au nanoparticles (NPs) on an adhesive double-sided Cu film (DCu). The enhanced electromagnetic field generated by the coupled resonance of the local surface plasmon resonances of AuNPs and DCu led to an enhanced SERS signal with an experimental enhancement factor of 107. The AuNPs were semi-embedded and distributed on the substrate, and the viscous DCu layer was exposed, enabling particle transfer. The substrates exhibited good uniformity and favorable reproducibility with relative standard deviations of 13.53% and 9.74% respectively, and the substrates could be stored for 180 days with no signs of signal weakening. The application of the substrates was demonstrated by the extraction and detection of malachite green and ammonium salt particulate matter. The results demonstrated that SERS substrates based on AuNPs and DCu are highly promising in real-world environmental particle monitoring and detection.

Abstract
For survival and quality of human life, the search for better ways to ensure food safety is constant. However, food contaminants still threaten human health throughout the food chain. In particular, food systems are often polluted with multiple contaminants simultaneously, which can cause synergistic effects and greatly increase food toxicity. Therefore, the establishment of multiple food contaminant detection methods is significant in food safety control. The surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technique has emerged as a potent candidate for the detection of multicomponents simultaneously. The current review focuses on the SERS-based strategies in multicomponent detection, including the combination of chromatography methods, chemometrics, and microfluidic engineering with the SERS technique. Furthermore, recent applications of SERS in the detection of multiple foodborne bacteria, pesticides, veterinary drugs, food adulterants, mycotoxins and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are summarized. Finally, challenges and future prospects for the SERS-based detection of multiple food contaminants are discussed to provide research orientation for further.

Abstract
Carbamazepine (CBZ) has a narrow therapeutic concentration range, and therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is necessary for its safe and effective individualized medication. This study aims to develop a procedure for CBZ detection in serum using coffee-ring effect assisted surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). Silver nanoparticles deposited onto silicon wafers were used as the SERS-active material. Surface treatment optimization of the silicon wafers and the liquid-liquid extraction method were conducted to eliminate the influence of impurities on the silicon wafer surface and the protein matrix. The proposed detection procedure allows for the fast determination of CBZ in artificially spiked serum samples within a concentration range of 2.5-40 μg·mL-1, which matches the range of the drug concentrations in the serum after oral medication. The limit of detection for CBZ was found to be 0.01 μg·mL-1. The developed method allowed CBZ and its metabolites to be ultimately distinguished from real serum samples. The developed method is anticipated to be a potential tool for monitoring other drug concentrations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chlorpyrifos is a commonly used organophosphorus pesticide in agriculture. However, its neurotoxicity poses a huge threat to human health. In the present study, a chitosan-modified filter paper-based surface enhanced Raman scattering active substrate (Ch/AgNPs/paper) was fabricated and used to detect trace amounts of chlorpyrifos in 120 treated wheat samples. RESULTS Results showed that the Ch/AgNPs/paper substrate could be used to enhance the chlorpyrifos spectral fingerprint only up to a concentration of 0.000558 mg L-1 . Following Raman spectra acquisition, three pre-processing methods, including Savitzky-Golay (Savitsky-Golay filter with a second order polynomial) smoothing with first derivative and second derivative and normalization, were used to reduce baseline variation and increase resolutions of spectral peak features of the original spectra dataset. Then, prediction models based on partial least squares were established for detecting chlorpyrifos pesticide residue in wheat. The partial least squares model with normalization yielded optimal result, with a correlation coefficient of 0.9764, root mean square error of prediction of 1.22 mg L-1 in the prediction, and relative analysis deviation of 4.12. Five unknown samples were prepared to verify the accuracy of the prediction model. The predicted recoveries were calculated to be between 97.25% and 119.38% with an absolute t value of 0.598. The value of a t-test shows that the prediction model is accurate and reliable. CONCLUSION The present study demonstrates that the proposed method can achieve rapid detection of chlorpyrifos in wheat. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

[PMID: 36004986 PMCID: PMC9405795 DOI: 10.3390/bios12080590] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2022] [Revised: 07/24/2022] [Accepted: 07/26/2022] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
As surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has been used to diagnose several respiratory viruses (e.g., influenza A virus subtypes such as H1N1 and the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2), SERS is gaining popularity as a method for diagnosing viruses at the point-of-care. Although the prior and quick diagnosis of respiratory viruses is critical in the outbreak of infectious disease, ELISA, PCR, and RT-PCR have been used to detect respiratory viruses for pandemic control that are limited for point-of-care testing. SERS provides quantitative data with high specificity and sensitivity in a real-time, label-free, and multiplex manner recognizing molecular fingerprints. Recently, the design of Raman spectroscopy system was simplified from a complicated design to a small and easily accessible form that enables point-of-care testing. We review the optical design (e.g., laser wavelength/power and detectors) of commercialized and customized handheld Raman instruments. As respiratory viruses have prominent risk on the pandemic, we review the applications of handheld Raman devices for detecting respiratory viruses. By instrumentation and commercialization advancements, the advent of the portable SERS device creates a fast, accurate, practical, and cost-effective analytical method for virus detection, and would continue to attract more attention in point-of-care testing.

Abstract
TiO2 flower like nanomaterials (FLNMs) are fabricated via a hydrothermal method and Ag nanoparticles (NPs) are deposited via electron beam evaporation. Several biological pigments (CV, R6G and RhB) are selected as target molecules to investigate their surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) property. The results demonstrate ultrasensitivity and high reproducibility. They reveal that the limit of detection (LOD) is 4.17 × 10-16 M and the enhancement factor (EF) is 2.87 × 1010 for CV, and the LOD is 5.01 × 10-16 M and 7.94 × 10-14 M for R6G and RhB, respectively. To assess the reproducibility on TiO2/Ag FLNMs SERS substrates, they are tested with 1.0 × 10-13 M of CV, 1.0 × 10-13 M of R6G and 1.0 × 10-11 M of RhB, respectively. The relative standard deviations (RSD) are less than 12.93%, 13.52% and 11.74% for CV, R6G and RhB, respectively. In addition, we carry out melamine detection and the LOD is up to 7.41 × 10-10 M, which is over 1000 times lower than the severest standards in the world. Therefore, the obtained TiO2 FLNMs have potential application in detecting illegal food additives.

Abstract
Agricultural pollutants are harmful components threatening human health, wildlife, the environment, and the ecosystem. To avoid their exposure, developing prevention and detection systems with high sensitivity and selectivity is required. Most conventional methods, including molecular and chromatographic techniques, cannot be adopted for outdoor on-site detection even though they can provide sensitive and selective detection. Thus, detection platforms that can provide on-site detection via miniaturized and high throughput systems should be developed. As an alternative method, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) provides unique information about the substances in the presence of plasmonic nanostructures, and it can be portable with the use of portable detection systems and spectrometers. In this study, on-site detection of agricultural pollutants through SERS is reviewed. Three different types of agricultural pollutants were pointed out. On-site detection of biological pollutants, including bacteria and viruses, is reviewed as the first type of pollutant. As a second type, the detection of pesticides, antibiotics, and additives are focused on as chemical pollutants. The third group includes the detection of microplastics and also nanoparticles from the environment.

Abstract
Melamine has been illegally adulterated in dairy food because of the rich nitrogen content and stable chemical properties in recent years. Therefore, the detection of melamine is of great significance for food safety supervision and human health protection. As melamine is a weak fluorescent substance, it is difficult to detect melamine directly by fluorescence spectroscopy. In this work, we found that melamine can significantly enhance the emission of the tetracycline-europium (EuTC) complex at 616 nm. Therefore, we took EuTC complex as a fluorescent probe to detect melamine. According to the characterizations of absorption spectra, molecular electrostatic potential distribution, and the time-resolved spectra, we speculated that tetracycline and melamine may form a complex through hydrogen bonding interaction in the melamine-EuTC reaction system, causing the melamine closer approach to Eu3+ and reducing the non-radiative energy loss of water molecules to Eu3+, which significantly enhanced the fluorescence intensity of EuTC. The fluorescence intensity of EuTC complex with melamine concentration in the range of 0.5-40.0 μM shows a good linear relationship, and the correlation coefficient is 0.9951 with the detection limit of 7.85 × 10-8 M. It shows a high sensitivity for the EuTC complex as a fluorescent probe to detect melamine, which provides a supplement and extension for the detection of melamine by fluorescence spectroscopy.

Abstract
This study developed a novel surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) method coupled with cellulose nanofiber (CNF)-based SERS wipers that were fabricated on quartz papers coated with a mixture of silver nanoparticle (AgNP) and gold nanostar (AuNS). A "drop-wipe-test" protocol was developed for rapid detection of pesticide residues in vegetables by SERS. Tremendously enhanced Raman scattering signals were obtained from the quartz/CNF/mixture (AgNP + AuNS) substrate, which were much higher than the paper/mixture (AgNP + AuNS) substrate. This method was used to detect ferbam on kale leaves within a few minutes and the detection limit was 50 μg/kg based on the PLS models (R2 = 0.89). The enhancement factor of the SERS substrate was calculated to be ~ 104 with satisfactory reproducibility. Satisfactory SERS performance could be achieved within 1-month storage period. These results demonstrate that this CNF-based SERS/wiper method is a practical approach for rapid detection of chemical contaminants in fresh produce.

Abstract
A variety of contaminants in food is an important aspect affecting food safety. Due to the presence of its trace amounts and the complexity of food matrix, it is very difficult to effectively separate and accurately detect them. The magnetic metal-organic framework (MMOF) composites with different structures and functions provide a new choice for the purification of food matrix and enrichment of trace targets, thus providing a new direction for the development of new technologies in food safety detection with high sensitivity and efficiency. The MOF materials composed of inorganic subunits and organic ligands have the advantages of regular pore structure, large specific surface area and good stability, which have been thoroughly studied in the pretreatment of complex food samples. MMOF materials combined different MOF materials with various magnetic nanoparticles, adding magnetic characteristics to the advantages of MOF materials, which are in terms of material selectivity, biocompatibility, easy operation and repeatability. Combined with solid phase extraction (SPE) technique, MMOF materials have been widely used in the food pretreatment. This article introduced the new preparation strategies of different MMOF materials, systematically summarizes their applications as SPE adsorbents in the pretreatment of food contaminants and analyzes and prospects their future application prospects and development directions.

A rapid and convenient screening method for detection of restricted monensin, decoquinate, and lasalocid in animal feed by applying SERS and chemometrics. Food Chem Toxicol 2020; 144:111633.

Abstract
The surface-enhanced activities of size- and shape-controlled gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with superior chemical stability were investigated to explore a possible development of a simple and non-destructive spectroscopic method to help the regulatory agency's analytical services for rapid detection and characterization of selected antimicrobials in animal feeds. Feed samples spiked at different concentration ranges of antimicrobials were evaluated using AuNPs as a surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) agent. The collected SERS spectra were mathematically preprocessed for further analysis. The classification models obtained 100% predictive accuracy with zero or little misclassification. The first two canonical variables (p = 0.001) could explain >95% of the variability in preprocessed spectral data. Most chemometric models for predicting MON, DEC, and LAS concentrations showed a high predictive accuracy (r2 > 0.90), lower predictive error (<20 mg/kg), and satisfactory regression quality (slope close to 1.0). The statistical results showed no statistically significant difference between the reference and SERS predicted values (p > 0.05). The findings and implications from the study indicate that SERS would be a powerful and efficient technique possessing a great potential serving as an excellent monitoring and screening tool for antimicrobial contaminated samples in the on-site analysis.

Abstract
Cyanide (C≡N) can lead to blood, cardiovascular system, and nervous system disorders owing to the acute and chronic toxicity; thus, aiming at the group or individual poisoning incidents, it is necessary to develop the sensitive and credible method for rapid on-site detection of poisons cyanide. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) with the advantages of providing fingerprint information of target molecules and single-molecules sensitivity has been widely used in on-site analysis; however, the SERS measurements always suffer from the problem of the stability of substrates. Here, the polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)-stabilized Au NPs (PVP-Au NPs) have been assembled through the simple, convenient evaporation-induced strategy with the large-scale hotspots substrates. The presence of PVP can not only facilitate the assembly of Au NPs but also prevent the corrosion of CN- towards the Au NPs with the formation of [Au (CN)2]-1, providing high stable and reproducible SERS signals. Moreover, the PVP-Au NPs have been assembled on the Si wafer to fabricate the portable SERS chip for rapid on-site detection of CN- with an RSD of 5.8% and limitation of 100 ppb. Furthermore, by coupling a portable Raman spectrometer, the SERS spectra of CN- spiked into different specimens to simulate the poison samples have been collected and analyzed on SERS chips with the recovery of 89-103% and RSD not higher than 11.3%. Consequently, the fabricated SERS chip with assembled PVP-Au NPs can provide sensitive and credible detection for CN- in different specimens, and then would satisfy the rapid on-site evaluation of CN- in poisoning incidents with the portable Raman spectrometer.

Abstract
Due to its extreme sensitivity and fingerprint specificity, surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a powerful tool for substance identification. Developments in portable low-cost SERS substrates and handheld Raman spectrometers enable SERS analysis at sample origin, with great potential benefit to field-work applications in numerous disciplines. This study reports a procedure which incorporates sample collection, isolation, and SERS identification of airborne solids on a single inexpensive substrate. This procedure, vacuum filtration-paper chromatography-SERS (VF-PC-SERS), utilizes a porous filter paper decorated with plasmonic nanoparticles which we call nanopaper. The porous fiber structure facilitates both the vacuum filter powder capture and the isolation of components by paper chromatography, while the nanoplasmonic coating enhances Raman signal. One potentially high-impact application of VF-PC-SERS is field analysis of hazardous or illicit materials. This study demonstrates a proof-of-concept for VF-PC-SERS using powdered rhodamine 6G (R6G) dispersed in air, resulting in 100% detection accuracy (true positive rate) at R6G levels as low as 0.6 mg/m3. Analysis of R6G contaminated with topsoil or lactose resulted in specific identification of R6G in powder mixtures containing as little as 0.1 wt. % R6G. This study demonstrates the feasibility of VF-PC-SERS as a safer procedure to identify hazardous substances at the point of sample origin.

Abstract
Currently, the detection of pesticide is critical for food safety assurance, but it is still challenging due to the presence of biological interferents from complex food matrix. In this study, we developed an optical anti-interference surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) aptasensor system for trace detection of acetamiprid. 4-(Mercaptomethyl) benzonitrile (MMBN) containing CN bond was used as Raman tag to provide a sharp peak (2227 cm-1) in the Raman-silent spectral window (1800-2800 cm-1) where no Raman signal existed for most of molecules. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) bonded with polyadenine (polyA)-mediated aptamer and Raman tag (MMBN-AuNPs-aptamer) was synthesized as Raman probe, while the complementary DNA (cDNA) conjugated with AgNPs-decorated silicon wafer (AgNPs@Si) was used as SERS substrate. As acetamiprid molecule could specifically combine with aptamer, preventing the formation of MMBN-AuNPs-aptamer-cDNA-AgNPs@Si (expressed as "Au-AgNPs@Si") hybrid through DNA sequence linking, Raman signal intensities of MMBN in Au-AgNPs@Si decreased when the concentration of acetamiprid increased. Under the optimum assay condition, the proposed method displayed a linear response for acetamiprid detection in the range of 25-250 nM with a low detection limit of 6.8 nM. Finally, the developed aptasensor was successfully used to determine acetamiprid content in apple juice. Accordingly, this novel anti-interference SERS aptasensor could be a promising acetamiprid sensor for food safety assurance.

Abstract
In this paper, we developed cysteamine-modified surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate for detecting detect trace amount of acidic pigment that shows weak affinity with gold nanoparticles (Au NPs). To realize sensitive and reproducible detection of pigment with weak affinity, the SERS substrate was prepared by attaching cysteamine (CA) to the Au NPs, the acidic pigment molecule could rapidly reached to the surface of Au NPs because of the formation of multi‑hydrogen-bond and electrostatic interaction between the pigment and CA molecule. The proposed method allowed us to detect five kinds of acidic pigment with a limit of 1.0 ppm, which is below the strictest safety limit. Compared with the previous methods, the advantages of the present substrate were its simple substrate preparation, high reproducibility and good universality. Furthermore, the reliable and enough accurate results had been obtained by using of the proposed substrates in the assay of trace pigment in real samples.

Abstract
Illegal adulteration of milk products by melamine and its analogs has become a threat to the world. In 2008, the misuse of melamine with infant formula caused serious effects on babies of China. Thereafter, the government of China and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) limited the use of melamine of 1 mg/kg for infant formula and 2.5 mg/kg for other dairy products. Similarly, the World Health Organization (WHO) has also limited the daily intake of melamine of 0.2 mg/kg body weight per day. Many sensory schemes have been proposed by the scientists for carrying out screening on melamine poisoning. Among them, nanomaterial-based sensing techniques are very promising in terms of real-time applicability. These materials uncover and quantify the melamine by means of diverse mechanisms, such as fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), aggregation, inner filter effect, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), and self-assembly, etc. Nanomaterials used for the melamine determination include carbon dots, quantum dots, nanocomposites, nanocrystals, nanoclusters, nanoparticles, nanorods, nanowires, and nanotubes. In this review, we summarize and comment on the melamine sensing abilities of these nanomaterials for their suitability and future research directions.

Abstract
Porous adsorption, a less powerful adsorptive force than chemical bonds, is based on the physical adsorption of small molecules onto a solid surface that is capable of adsorbing gas or liquid molecules. Antimicrobial permutite composite (containing Ag+, Zn2+ and Ag+/Zn2+), starting from Linde Type A-permutite (LTA), was obtained in this research. The permutite samples were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), colorimeter and nitrogen adsorption technique. Cinnamon essential oil (CEO) was encapsulated into Ag+/Zn2+-permutite. The FT-IR and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) confirmed that no chemical bond existed between CEO and Ag+/Zn2+-permutite. The loading capacity of Ag+/Zn2+-permutite/CEO was 313.07 µL/g, and it had a sustained release effect. The Ag+/Zn2+-permutite/CEO showed stronger efficacy against Aspergillus niger and Penicillium sp. than Ag+/Zn2+-permutite. Ethyl cellulose pads modified by composite antimicrobial particles were applied in the preservation of Chinese bayberry. Compared to the control group, treatment with the Ag+/Zn2+-permutite/CEO antimicrobial pads resulted in a significantly lower decay incidence. In addition, the amount of migrated silver, zinc and aluminum from LTA was below the legal limit. These results confirmed that the ethyl cellulose pads modified by the Ag+/Zn2+-permutite/CEO provided an active packaging to control decay of fresh Chinese bayberry.

Abstract
To ensure protein beverage safety and prevent illegal melamine use to artificially increase protein content, a rapid, on-site, ultrasensitive detection method for melamine must be developed because melamine is detrimental to human health. Herein, an ultrasensitive time-resolved fluorescence detection paper (TFDP) was developed to detect melamine in protein beverages within 15 min using a one-step sample preparation. The lower limits of detection were 0.89, 0.94, and 1.05 ng/mL, and the linear ranges were 2.67-150, 2.82-150, and 3.15-150 ng/mL (R2 > 0.982) for peanut, walnut, and coconut beverages, respectively. The recovery rates were 85.86-110.60% with a coefficient of variation <7.80% in the spiking experiment. A high specificity was observed in the interferent experiment. When detecting real protein beverage samples, the TFDP and ultraperformance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometer (UPLC-MS/MS) results were consistent. This method is a promising alternative for rapid, on-site detection of melamine in beverages.

Abstract
Varisized chitosan-selenium (CS-Se) nanocomposites were synthesized through an innovative method. It is the first time to use CS both as reductant and stabilizer to synthesize selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs). By manipulating the temperature, the well-dispersed CS-Se nanocomposites were synthesized via a simple one pot reaction with the size ranging from 83 to 208nm before being characterized by TEM, DLS, UV-vis, FTIR, XRD and TG analyses. The results showed that SeO32- was reduced to a stable SeNPs colloid at a comparatively high temperature, the amino group and hydroxyl group of CS were conjugated to the surface of SeNPs. Besides, the antioxidant activities of CS-Se nanocomposites were investigated by DPPH, ABTS+, hydroxyl radical, metal ion chelating and reducing power assays, which proved to be concentration-dependent, size-dependent and exhibited good antioxidant activities. The results suggested that CS-Se nanocomposites might be considered as a more appropriate selenium-adding form to achieve antioxidative goals in food.

Abstract
Antipsychotics are the drugs most often involved in drug poisoning cases, and therefore, therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is necessary for safe and effective medication administration of these drugs. In this study, a coffee ring effect-based surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (CRE-SERS) method was developed and successfully used to monitor antipsychotic poisoning by using urine samples for the first time. The established method exhibited excellent SERS performance since more hot spots were obtained in the "coffee ring". Using the optimized CRE-SERS method, the sensitivity was improved one order more than that of the conventional method with reasonable reproducibility. The antipsychotic drug clozapine (CLO) spiked into urine samples at 0.5-50 μg mL-1 was quantitatively detected, at concentrations above the thresholds for toxicity. The CRE-SERS method allowed CLO and its metabolites to be ultimately distinguished from real poisoning urine samples. The coffee-ring effect would provide more opportunities for practical applications of the SERS-based method. The frequent occurrence of drug poisoning may have created a new area for the application of the CRE-SERS method. It is anticipated that the developed method will also have great potential for other drug poisoning monitoring.
