Micro-flow cell washing technique combined with single-cell Raman spectroscopy for rapid and automatic antimicrobial susceptibility test of pathogen in urine. Talanta 2024; 277:126354. [PMID: 38850804 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.126354] [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: 03/28/2024] [Revised: 05/30/2024] [Accepted: 06/01/2024] [Indexed: 06/10/2024]
Abstract
Facing the rapid spread of antimicrobial resistance, methods based on single-cell Raman spectroscopy have proven their advances in reducing the turn-around time (TAT) of antimicrobial susceptibility tests (AST). However, the Raman-based methods are still hindered by the prolonged centrifugal cell washing procedure, which may require complex labor operation and induce high mechanical stress, resulting in a pretreatment time of over 1 h as well as a high cell-loss probability. In this study, we developed a micro-flow cell washing device and corresponding Raman-compatible washing chips, which were able to automatically remove the impurities in the samples, retain the bacterial cell and perform Raman spectra acquisition in situ. Results of washing the 5- and 10-μm polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) microspheres showed that the novel technique achieved a successful removal of 99 % impurity and an 80 % particle retention rate after 6 to 10 cycles of washing. The micro-flow cell washing technique could complete the pretreatment for urine samples in a 96-well plate within 10 min, only taking 15 % of the handling time required by centrifugation. The AST profiles of urine sample spiked with E. coli 25922, E. faecalis 29212, and S. aureus 29213 obtained by the proposed Raman-based approach were found to be 100 % consistent with the results from broth micro-dilution while reducing the TAT to 3 h from several days which is required by the latter. Our study has demonstrated the micro-flow cell washing technique is a reliable, fast and compatible approach to replace centrifuge washing for sample pretreatment of Raman-AST and could be readily applied in clinical scenarios.

Convergent technologies to tackle challenges of modern food authentication. Heliyon 2024; 10:e32297. [PMID: 38947432 PMCID: PMC11214499 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e32297] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2024] [Revised: 05/30/2024] [Accepted: 05/31/2024] [Indexed: 07/02/2024] Open
Abstract
The authentication process involves all the supply chain stakeholders, and it is also adopted to verify food quality and safety. Food authentication tools are an essential part of traceability systems as they provide information on the credibility of origin, species/variety identity, geographical provenance, production entity. Moreover, these systems are useful to evaluate the effect of transformation processes, conservation strategies and the reliability of packaging and distribution flows on food quality and safety. In this manuscript, we identified the innovative characteristics of food authentication systems to respond to market challenges, such as the simplification, the high sensitivity, and the non-destructive ability during authentication procedures. We also discussed the potential of the current identification systems based on molecular markers (chemical, biochemical, genetic) and the effectiveness of new technologies with reference to the miniaturized systems offered by nanotechnologies, and computer vision systems linked to artificial intelligence processes. This overview emphasizes the importance of convergent technologies in food authentication, to support molecular markers with the technological innovation offered by emerging technologies derived from biotechnologies and informatics. The potential of these strategies was evaluated on real examples of high-value food products. Technological innovation can therefore strengthen the system of molecular markers to meet the current market needs; however, food production processes are in profound evolution. The food 3D-printing and the introduction of new raw materials open new challenges for food authentication and this will require both an update of the current regulatory framework, as well as the development and adoption of new analytical systems.

Abstract
In this study, a citalopram optical nano-sensor was developed. Citalopram is a well-known antidepressant drug that reduces the reuptake of serotonin in neurons as a result, serotonin neurotransmission, the primary response to antidepressant treatments, increases in many parts of the brain. This study introduces a carbon quantum dots (CQDs)-based optical nanosensor for rapid detection of citalopram. This fluorescent nanosensor was made through the polymerization of tetraethyl orthosilicate in the presence of CQDs as the fluorescent materials and citalopram as the template molecule. Following the polymerization, the templated molecules were washed and removed from the structure, and the matrix of the polymer was left with some cavities that resembled citalopram in terms of size and shape. The final structure which is used as a chemical nanosensor, is named carbon quantum dots embedded silica molecularly imprinted polymer (CQDs-SMIP). The materials used in designing nano-sensors were characterized using FTIR, UV/Vis, and fluorescence spectroscopy, as well as high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). CQDs-SMIP showed a strong fluorescence emission at 420 nm in the absence of the template molecule. The fluorescence intensity of the nanosensor decreased in the presence of citalopram. The correlation between the extent of the fluorescence quenching and the concentration of citalopram provided the nano-sensor signal. The nano-sensor was used to measure citalopram in complex matrices such as human plasma and urine samples with remarkable selectivity and sensitivity. The detection limit of 10.3 µg.L-1 over a linear range of 100 to 700 µg.L-1, and RSD of 3.15% was obtained. This nano-sensor was applied to analyze of citalopram in plasma and human urine samples with remarkable results.

Abstract
The present study of a novel metal-organic framework containing Fe single atoms doped on electrospun carbon nanofibers (Fe SA-MOF@CNF) based on dispersive micro solid phase extraction (D-μ-SPE) using HPLC-PDA for detection tartrazine in fake saffron samples was designed. The Fe SA-MOF@CNF sorbent was extensively characterized through various techniques including N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The specific area of surface of the sorbent was 577.384 m2/g. The study variables were optimized via the central composite design (CCD), which included a sorbent mass of 15 mg, a contact time of 6 min, a pH of 7.56, and a tartrazine concentration of 300 ng/ml. Under the optimum condition, the calibration curve of this method was linear in the range of 5-1000 ng/mL, with a correlation coefficient of 0.992. The LOD and LOQ values were ranged 0.38-0.74 and 1.34-2.42 ng/ml, respectively. This approach revealed significant improvements, including high extraction recovery (98.64), recovery rates (98.43-102.72%), and accuracy (RSDs < 0.75 to 3.6%). the enrichment factors were obtained in the range of 80.6-86.4 with preconcentration factor of 22.3. Consequently, the D-μ-SPE method based on synthesized Fe SA-MOF@CNF could be recommended as a sustainable sorbent for detecting tartrazine in saffron samples.

Talanta 2024; 269:125417. [PMID: 38006731 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2023.125417] [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: 09/22/2023] [Revised: 11/11/2023] [Accepted: 11/14/2023] [Indexed: 11/27/2023]
Abstract
The N and Fe doped carbon dot (CDNFe) was prepared by microwave procedure. Using CDNFe as the nano-substrate, fipronil (FL) as the template molecule and α-methacrylic acid as the functional monomer, the molecular imprinted polymethacrylic acid nanoprobe (CDNFe@MIP) with difunction was synthesized by microwave procedure. The CDNFe@MIP was characterized by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier infrared spectroscopy, and other techniques. The results show that the nanoprobe not only distinguish FL but also has a strong catalytic effect on the HAuCl4-Na2C2O4 nanogold indicator reaction. When the nanoprobes specifically recognize FL, their catalytic effect is significantly reduced. Since the AuNPs generated by HAuCl4 reduction have strong surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) effects, a SERS/RRS dual-mode sensing platform for detecting 5-500 ng/L FL was constructed. The new analytical method was applied to detect FL in food samples with a relative standard deviation (RSD) of 3.3-8.1 % and a recovery rate of 94.6-104.5 %.

Abstract
This study employed citric acid as a carbon source and thiourea as a sulphur source to conduct a straightforward one-step microwave synthesis of sulphur-doped carbon quantum dots (SCQDs). For the characterization of as-synthesized SCQDs, several methods such as fluorescence spectroscopy, X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-Ray diffraction (XRD), and zeta potential analyzer were utilized. XRD and XPS spectroscopy are used to examine the chemical composition and morphological aspects. These QDs have a limited size distribution spanning up to 5.89 nm, with a maximum distribution at 7 nm, according to zeta size analyser examinations. At an excitation wavelength of 340 nm, the highest fluorescence intensity (FL intensity) of SCQDs was attained. With a detection limit of 0.77 M, the synthesized SCQDs were employed as an efficient fluorescent probe for the detection of Sudan I in saffron samples.

Abstract
A cationic perylene probe was designed and synthesized for sensitive determination of tartrazine. In the presence of tartrazine, the fluorescence of the perylene probe was quenched by efficient supramolecular self-assembly of the perylene derivate. The quenching is caused by the synergistic effect of noncovalent interactions including static electricity, π-π stacking, and hydrophobic interaction. Benefiting from these advantages, the probe exhibited excellent sensing performance to tartrazine within 2 min. The detection and quantification limit of tartrazine are as low as 2.42 and 8.07 nmol L-1, respectively, with a wide linear operation range from 15 to 500 nmol L-1. Most importantly, due to the high binding affinity (3.22 × 107 mol L-1) between the perylene probe and tartrazine, the sensing system shows great anti-interference capacity. Subsequently, the visualization application of the approach was evaluated by portable device, and the limits of detection for visual detection for test strip, membrane, and hydrogel were 0.5, 0.5, and 5 μmol L-1, respectively. The approach has been applied to monitor tartrazine in various food condiments with recoveries in the range 91.29-108.83%. As far as we know, this is the first report of using perylene-based probe for tartrazine determination, offering a promising strategy for the construction of perylene-based detection system in the field of food safety.

Abstract
A ternary deep eutectic solvent (DES) consisting of choline chloride, lactic acid, and urea in a molar ratio of 1:2:2 was used to pretreat chamomile residue, followed by carbon dots (CDs) preparation using a one-pot solvothermal method. The CDs prepared under the suitable conditions had a high quantum yield of 47.34% and could be used as a bifunctional fluorescent probe for the detection of tartrazine and Fe(III). The concentration of tartrazine or Fe(III) had a good linear relationship with the fluorescence intensity of CDs that the determination coefficient (R2) was 0.9957 and 0.9943, and the limit of detection (LOD) was 40 nM and 119 nM, respectively. After verifying the different fluorescence quenching mechanisms of CDs by these two substances, a quantitative analysis was performed on real samples with recoveries of 90.70%∼104.29%. Overall, this study provided a promising technology for chemical conversion from low-cost chamomile residue to attractive bifunctional fluorescent probe.

Simple detection of gluten in wheat-containing food samples of celiac diets with a novel fluorescent nanosensor made of folic acid-based carbon dots through molecularly imprinted technique. Food Chem 2023; 410:135383. [PMID: 36638629 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2022.135383] [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: 02/07/2022] [Revised: 12/23/2022] [Accepted: 12/31/2022] [Indexed: 01/03/2023]
Abstract
A nanosensor is designed for rapid detection of the gluten content of wheat-containing samples. Gluten is a plant protein that causes allergy in individuals and leads to celiac disease. Since in a celiac diet trace amounts of gluten are able to prompt allergic reactions, a food-allergen label must be provided on foodstuffs and be seriously considered by food industries. Various analytical methods and commercial immunoassays are used for such analyses but prices per test, especially for low-income countries are high. Thus, a rapid, sensitive, simple, and inexpensive detecting tool seems essential. A solution can be designing a gluten optical nanosensor. The nanosensor is made of folic-acid-carbon dots and gluten molecularly templates embedded simultaneously in a silicate matrix. Adding gluten to the solution of this nanostructure and its adsorbing on the blank templated space on the nanostructure causes fluorescence enhancement. The concentration range of gluten detection was 0.36 to 2.20 µM.

Abstract
In the global market era, food product control is very challenging. It is impossible to track and control all production and delivery chains not only for regular customers but also for the State Sanitary Inspections. Certified laboratories currently use accurate food safety and quality inspection methods. However, these methods are very laborious and costly. The present review highlights the need to develop fast, robust, and cost-effective analytical assays to determine food contamination. Application of the molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) as selective recognition units for chemosensors' fabrication was herein explored. MIPs enable fast and inexpensive electrochemical and optical transduction, significantly improving detectability, sensitivity, and selectivity. MIPs compromise durability of synthetic materials with a high affinity to target analytes and selectivity of molecular recognition. Imprinted molecular cavities, present in MIPs structure, are complementary to the target analyte molecules in terms of size, shape, and location of recognizing sites. They perfectly mimic natural molecular recognition. The present review article critically covers MIPs' applications in selective assays for a wide range of food products. Moreover, numerous potential applications of MIPs in the food industry, including sample pretreatment before analysis, removal of contaminants, or extraction of high-value ingredients, are discussed.

Abstract
Colorant tartrazine is widely used in the food industry, but its long-term and excessive consumption is harmful to human health. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a sensitive detection method for tartrazine. Blue fluorescent carbon dots with L-arginine and o-phenylenediamine as precursors, namely L-Arg/oPD-CDs, were prepared via the hydrothermal method. Then, L-Arg/oPD-CDs were further purified by dialysis, thin layer chromatography and column chromatography. A dual-mode nanosensor based on fluorescent and UV absorption was successfully developed. Excellent linear ranges of 0-5 μM and 10-50 μM were obtained with a low detection limit of 42.3 nM based on fluorescence. A good linear range of 0-50 μM was obtained with a low detection limit of 130.15 nM based on UV absorption. The quenching mechanism of tartrazine towards L-Arg/oPD-CDs fluorescence was the inner filter effect. In addition, a dual-mode nanosensor was used for tartrazine determination in millet, maize flour, carbonated drink, and sugar samples. This study provides new insight into the detection of tartrazine by applying a dual-mode nanosensor.

Abstract
In this work, sulfur quantum dots (TPA-SQDs) protected by terephthalic acid as a stabilizer were synthesized using a one-pot method. When excited at 310 nm, the synthesized TPA-SQDs solution emitted strong blue fluorescence at 428 nm, and the absolute quantum yield was as high as 85.99%. The proposed SQDs can be used as a fluorescent probe to specifically quench tartrazine (TZ), showing a good linear relationship (R2 = 0.996) at TZ concentrations of 0.1-20 μM, with a detection limit of 39 nM. By analysing the fluorescence lifetime, UV-Vis absorption spectrum and zeta potential of the assay system, it can be speculated that the fluorescence quenching mechanism of TZ on TPA-SQDs is the inner filter effect (IFE). The proposed method was applied to the detection of TZ in vitamin water and orange juice, and the results were consistent with the determination results by high-performance liquid chromatography. The recoveries and relative standard deviations were 93.2-102.6% and 1.34-2.88%, respectively, which provided an alternative method for the determination of TZ in beverages or other food samples.

Abstract
Crocus sativus L. is commonly used as functional food and medicinal herb in traditional Chinese medicine. In this study, the spectrum–effect relationship was established between HPLC fingerprints and in vitro antioxidant activity of saffron to improve the quality evaluation method of saffron. The fingerprints of 21 batches of saffron collected from different regions were assessed, and the data were further analyzed by chemometric methods, including similarity analysis, hierarchical clustering analysis, principal component analysis, and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis. The spectrum–effect relationship between fingerprints and antioxidant effect of saffron was analyzed by grey relational analysis and partial least square methods to figure out the antioxidant component of saffron. Thirteen common peaks of 21 batches of saffron were included in the analysis, and peak 3 (picrocrocin), peak 7 (crocin I), and peak 10 (crocin II) were identified as the main active components responsible for antioxidant efficacy. Besides, a multi-index quality control method was developed for simultaneous determination of these three antioxidant components in saffron. Taken together, this study provided new strategies for the quality control and the development of new bioactive products of saffron in the future.

Abstract
In this study, an on–off–on fluorescence probe for the detection of trace Cu(ii) and ascorbic acid (AA) based on biomass-derived sulfur and nitrogen double heteroatom-doped carbon dots (N,S-CDs) was designed. For the first time, the probe (N,S-CDs) was prepared from grape seeds and thiourea as the precursor. Cu(ii) was added to the carbon point solution, the fluorescence intensity (FL) of N,S-CDs was strongly quenched (switch OFF) and the fluorescence probe turned to “ON” (switch ON) with the addition of AA. Under the optimal conditions, the as-synthesized N,S-CDs had a good detection performance for Cu(ii) and AA assay with the linearity ranges from 150–500 μg mL−1 and 0.1–400 μg mL−1, and the LODs were 0.048 mg L−1 and 0.036 mg L−1, respectively. The as-prepared N,S-CDs exhibited a low cytotoxicity and a good biocompatibility, which show their potential for application in the biological imaging of living cells. In this study, an on–off–on fluorescence probe for the detection of trace Cu(ii) and ascorbic acid (AA) based on biomass-derived sulfur and nitrogen double heteroatom-doped carbon dots (N,S-CDs) was designed.![]()
