Abstract
Interest in the use of sensors based on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to detect food pollutants has been growing recently due to the desirable characteristics of MOFs, including uniform structures, large surface area, ultrahigh porosity and easy-to-functionalize surface. Fundamentally, this review offers an excellent solution using MOFs-based sensors (e.g., fluorescent, electrochemical, electrochemiluminescence, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, and colorimetric sensors) to detect food contaminants such as pesticide residues, mycotoxins, antibiotics, food additives, and other hazardous candidates. More importantly, their application scenarios and advantages in food detection are also introduced in more detail. Therefore, this systematic review analyzes detection limits, linear ranges, the role of functionalities, and immobilized nanoparticles utilized in preparing MOFs-based sensors. Additionally, the main limitations of each sensing type, along with the enhancement mechanisms of MOFs in addressing efficient sensing are discussed. Finally, the limitations and potential trends of MOFs-based materials in food contaminant detection are also highlighted.

Fluorometric detection of copper and imidacloprid using nitrogen-doped graphitic carbon dots: A promising method for environmental monitoring. LUMINESCENCE 2024; 39:e4849. [PMID: 39099225 DOI: 10.1002/bio.4849] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2024] [Revised: 06/29/2024] [Accepted: 07/15/2024] [Indexed: 08/06/2024]
Abstract
Pesticides in environmental samples pose significant risks to ecosystems and human health since they require precise and efficient detection methods. Imidacloprid (IMI), a widely used neonicotinoid insecticide, exemplifies these hazards due to its potential toxicity. This study addresses the urgent need for improved monitoring of such contaminants by introducing a novel fluorometric method for detecting IMI using nitrogen-doped graphite carbon dots (N-GCDs). The sensor operates by quenching fluorescence through the interaction of Cu2+ ions with N-GCDs. Subsequently, IMI binds to the imidazole group, chelates with Cu2+, and restores the fluorescence of N-GCDs. This alternating fluorescence behavior allows for the accurate identification of both Cu2+ and IMI. The sensor exhibits linear detection ranges of 20-100 nM for Cu2+ and 10-140 μg/L for IMI, with detection limits of 18 nM and 1.2 μg/L, respectively. The high sensitivity of this sensor enables the detection of real-world samples, which underscores its potential for practical use in environmental monitoring and agricultural safety.

Abstract
Compared with natural enzymes, nanozymes usually exhibit much lower catalytic activities, which limit the sensitivities of nanozyme-based immunoassays. Herein, several metal ions without enzyme-like activities were engineered onto Uio-66-NH2 nanozyme through postsynthetic modification. The obtained Mn+@Uio-66-NH2 (Mn+ = Zn2+, Cd2+, Co2+, Ca2+and Ni2+) exhibited improved phosphatase-like catalytic activities. In particular, a 12-fold increase in the catalytic efficiency (kcat/Km) of Uio-66-NH2 was observed after the modification with Zn2+. Mechanism investigations indicate that both the amino groups and oxygen-containing functional groups in Uio-66-NH2 are the binding sites of Zn2+, and the modified Zn2+ ions on Uio-66-NH2 serve as the additional catalytic sites for improving the catalytic performance. Furthermore, the highly active Zn2+@Uio-66-NH2 was used as a nanozyme label to develop a fluorescence immunoassay method for the detection of cardiac troponin I (cTnI). Compared with pristine Uio-66-NH2, Zn2+@Uio-66-NH2 can widen the linear range by 1 order of magnitude (from 10 pg/mL-1 μg/mL to 1 pg/mL-1 μg/mL) and also lower the detection limit by 5 times (from 4.7 pg/mL to 0.9 pg/mL).

Abstract
The luminescence performance of fluorescent reagents plays a crucial role in fluorescence analysis. Therefore, in this study, a novel bi-ligand Zn-based metal-organic framework, Au nanoparticle (NP) fluorescent material was synthesized using a hydrothermal method with Zn as the metal source. Simultaneously, a DNA aptamer was introduced as a molecular recognition element to develop a Zn-based MOF@Au NPs/DNA aptamer fluorescent probe for the ultra-trace detection of thiamethoxam residues in agricultural products. The probe captured different concentrations of the target molecule, thiamethoxam, through the DNA aptamer, causing a conformational change in the DNA aptamer and bursting the fluorescence of the probe, therefore establishing a fluorometric method for thiamethoxam detection. This method is highly sensitive due to the excellent luminescence properties of the Zn-based MOF@Au NPs, and the DNA aptamer can specifically recognize thiamethoxam, offering high selectivity. The linear range of the method was 2.5-6000 × 10-11 mol L-1 , with a detection limit of 8.33 × 10-12 mol L-1 . This method was applied to the determination of actual samples, such as bananas, and the spiked recovery rate was found to be in the range 84.05-109.07%. Overall, the proposed probe has high sensitivity, high selectivity, and easy operation for the detection of thiamethoxam residues in actual samples.

A fluorescent magnetic nanosensor for imidacloprid based on the incorporation of polymer dots and Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles into the covalent organic framework. LUMINESCENCE 2023; 38:2056-2064.

Abstract
A magnetic nanoprobe was designed for imidacloprid by encapsulating nonconjugated polymer dots (NCPDs) and Fe3 O4 nanoparticles in the covalent organic framework (COF). The fluorescence intensity of the COF-based nanocomposite is markedly suppressed by imidacloprid. As the absorption spectrum of imidacloprid was close to the band-gap of the NCPDs, and due to the presence of a nitro group (as an electron acceptor), the electrons can be easily transferred from the conduction band of NCPDs to the LUMO of imidacloprid, so fluorescence quenching was more likely to have been caused by the electron transfer process. The COF-based nanosensor was used for the determination of imidacloprid in the linear range 1.3-130 nM with a detection limit of 1.2 nM. The high sensitivity of the nanoprobe for imidacloprid is due to the combination of COF benefits (accumulation of the imidacloprid into the COF cavities) and the high adsorption ability of the Fe3 O4 nanoparticles, which leads to further enrichment of imidacloprid. The magnetic nature of the nanocomposite enables the preconcentration and easy separation of the analyte, and so reduces matrix interference and lowers the detection limits. The practicality of this nanoprobe was confirmed by quantification of imidacloprid in the wastewater and fruit juice samples.

Abstract
A competitive fluorescent lateral flow assay (CFLFA) is proposed for direct, ultrasensitive, quantitative detection of common pesticides imidacloprid (IMI) and carbendazim (CBZ) in complex food samples by using silica-core multilayered quantum dot nanobeads (SiO2-MQB) as liquid fluorescent tags. The SiO2-MQB nanostructure comprises a 200-nm SiO2 core and a shell of hundreds of carboxylated QDs (excitation/emission maxima ~365/631 nm), and can generate better stability, superior dispersibility, and higher luminescence than traditional fluorescent beads, greatly improving the sensitivity of current LFA methods for pesticides. Moreover, using liquid SiO2-MQB directly instead of via the conjugate pad both simplifies the structure of LFA system and improves the efficiency of immunobinding reactions between nanotags and the targets. Applying these methods, the established CFLFA realized the stable and accurate detection of IMI and CBZ in 12 min, with detection limits down to 1.94 and 14.79 pg/mL, respectively. The SiO2-MQB-CFLFA is practicable for application to real food samples (corn, apple, cucumber, and cabbage), and undoubtedly a promising and low-cost tool for on-site monitoring of trace pesticide residues.

Abstract
Neonicotinoid (NN) pesticides have emerged globally as one of the most widely used agricultural tools for protecting crops from pest damage and boosting food production. Unfortunately, some NN compounds, such as extensively employed imidacloprid-based pesticides, have also been identified as likely endangering critical pollinating insects like honey bees. To this end, NN pesticides pose a potential threat to world food supplies. As more countries restrict or prohibit the use of NN pesticides, tools are needed to effectively and quickly identify the presence of NN compounds like imidacloprid on site (e.g., in storage areas on farms or pesticide distribution warehouses). This study represents a proof-of-concept where the colloidal properties of specifically modified gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs) able to engage in the rare intermolecular interaction of halogen bonding (XB) can result in the detection of certain NN compounds. Density functional theory and diffusion-ordered NMR spectroscopy (DOSY NMR) are used to explore the fundamental XB interactions between strong XB-donor structures and NN compounds, with the latter found to possess multiple XB-acceptor binding sites. A fundamental understanding of these XB interactions allows for the functionalization of alkanethiolate-stabilized Au-NPs, known as monolayer-protected gold clusters (MPCs), with XB-donor capability (f-MPCs). In the presence of certain NN compounds such as imidacloprid, the f-MPCs subsequently exhibit visual XB-induced aggregation that is also measured with absorption (UV-vis) spectroscopy and verified with transmission electron microscopy (TEM) imaging. The demonstrated f-MPC-aggregation detection scheme has a number of favorable attributes, including quickly reporting the presence of the NN target, requiring only micrograms of suspect material, and being highly selective for imidacloprid, the most prevalent and most important NN insecticide compound. Requiring no instrumentation, the presented methodology can be envisioned as a simple screening test in which dipping a cotton swab of an unknown powder from a surface in a f-MPC solution causes f-MPCs to aggregate and yield a preliminary indication of imidacloprid presence.
