Abstract
Food analysis is significantly important in monitoring food quality and safety for human health. Traditional methods for food detection mainly rely on benchtop instruments and require a certain amount of analysis time, which promotes the development of portable sensors. Portable sensing methods own many advantages over traditional techniques such as flexibility and accessibility in diverse environments, real-time monitoring, cost-effectiveness, and rapid deployment. This review focuses on the portable approaches based on carbon dots (CDs) for food analysis. CDs are zero-dimensional carbon-based material with a size of less than 10 nm. In the manner of sensing, CDs exhibit rich functional groups, low biotoxicity, good biocompatibility, and excellent optical properties. Furthermore, there are many methods for the synthesis of CDs using various precursor materials. The incorporation of CDs into food science and engineering for enhancing food safety control and risk assessment shows promising prospects.

Abstract
Nanotechnology has emerged as one of the most potential areas for pharmaceutical analysis. The need for nanomaterials in pharmaceutical analysis is comprehended in terms of economic challenges, health and safety concerns. Quantum dots (QDs)or colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals are new groups of fluorescent nanoparticles that bind nanotechnology to drug analysis. Because of their special physicochemical characteristics and small size, QDs are thought to be promising candidates for the electrical and luminescent probes development. They were originally developed as luminescent biological labels, but are now discovering new analytical chemistry applications, where their photo-luminescent properties are used in pharmaceutical, clinical analysis, food quality control and environmental monitoring. In this review, we discuss QDs regarding properties and advantages, advances in methods of synthesis and their recent applications in drug analysis in the recent last years.

Abstract
Dopamine (DA) and uric acid (UA), which are vital components in human metabolism, cause several health problems if they are present in altered concentrations; thus, the determination of DA and UA is essential in real samples using selective sensors. In the present study, graphite carbon paste electrodes (CPE) were fabricated using ZnO/carbon quantum dots (ZnO/CQDs) and employed as electrochemical sensors for the detection of DA and UA. These electrodes were fully characterized via different analytical techniques (XRD, SEM, TEM, XPS, and EDS). The electrochemical responses from the modified electrodes were evaluated using cyclic voltammetry, square wave voltammetry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The results showed that the present electrode has exhibited high sensitivity towards DA, recognizing even at low concentrations (0.12 μM), and no inference was observed in the presence of UA. The ZnO/CQD electrode was applied for the simultaneous detection of co-existing DA and UA in real human urine samples and the peak potential separation between DA and UA was found to be greatly associated with the synergistic effect originated from ZnO and CQDs. The limit of detection (LOD) of the electrode was analyzed, and compared with other commercially available electrodes. Thus, the ZnO/CQD electrode was used to detect DA and UA in real samples, such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells.

Abstract
Curcumin is a natural polyphenol derived from turmeric (Curcuma longa) root that has been used for centuries as a spice, coloring agent, and medicine. Curcumin presents anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anticarcinogenic, antimicrobial, antiviral, antimalarial, hepatoprotective, thrombosuppressive, cardiovascular, hypoglycemic, antiarthritic, and anti-neurodegenerative properties. It scavenges different forms of free radicals and acts on transcription factors, growth factors and their receptors, cytokines, enzymes, and genes, regulating cell proliferation and apoptosis. Curcumin is electroactive, and a relationship between its electron transfer properties and radical-scavenging activity has been highlighted. The objective of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the curcumin electron transfer reactions, with emphasis on the controversial aspects related to its oxidation mechanism. The final sections will focus on the electroanalysis of curcumin in natural products, highlighting the most important sensing strategies, based on functional electrodes and nanostructured materials, essential for the development of more efficient in vitro methods of detection and quantification of curcumin in food samples, supplements, and nutripharmaceuticals.

Abstract
Curcumin (CU) is a polyphenolic compound extracted from turmeric, a well-known dietary spice. Since it has been shown that CU exerts beneficial effects on human health, interest has increased in its use but also in its analysis in different matrices. CU has an antioxidant character and is electroactive due to the presence of phenolic groups in its molecule. This paper reviews the data reported in the literature regarding the use of electrochemical techniques for the assessment of CU antioxidant activity and the investigation of the voltammetric behavior at different electrodes of free or loaded CU on various carriers. The performance characteristics and the analytical applications of the electrochemical methods developed for CU analysis are compared and critically discussed. Examples of voltammetric investigations of CU interaction with different metallic ions or of CU or CU complexes with DNA as well as the CU applications as electrode modifiers for the enhanced detection of various chemical species are also shown.

Abstract
Due to a great interest in the beneficial properties of polyphenolic antioxidant curcumin (CCM), sensitive and accurate methods for determining CCM are needed. The purpose of our research was to develop a very simple, fast, and sensitive differential pulse adsorptive stripping voltammetric (DPAdSV) procedure using an electrochemically activated screen-printed boron-doped diamond electrode (aSPBDDE) for the determination of CCM. The activation of the SPBDDE was accomplished in a solution of 0.1 mol/L NaOH by performing five cyclic voltammetric scans in the range of 0-2 V, at ν of 100 mV/s. The changes in surface morphology and the reduction of the charge transfer resistance due to the activation of the electrode resulted in the amplification of the CCM analytical signal on the aSPBDDE. As a result, an extremely sensitive measurement tool was formed, which under optimized conditions (0.025 mol/L PBS of pH = 2.6, Eacc of 0.3 V, tacc of 90 s, ΔEA of 100 mV, ν of 150 mV/s, and tm of 10 ms) allowed us to obtain a limit of detection (LOD) of 5.0 × 10-13 mol/L. The aSPBDDE has proven to be a highly effective tool for the direct determination of CCM in food samples with high accuracy and precision. The results are in agreement with those obtained using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry and electrospray ionization (UHPLC-ESI/MS).

Abstract
Curcumin is the main colorant of the curcuma longa plant, a food with many benefits for human health. This work aims to synthesize a novel molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) for the selective detection of curcumin in real samples obtained from the local market of Peru. MIPs were synthesized via bulk polymerization using curcumin, acrylamide, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, ABCV, and acetonitrile. FTIR spectra showed equal spectra for MIP and NIP. N2 physisorption analysis presented a higher value BET surface for the MIP (28.5 m2 g-1) compared to the NIP (18.5 m2 g-1). The adsorption capacity of the MIP was evaluated using UV-vis spectrophotometry in the band around 430 nm. The adsorption kinetics found were of pseudo-second-order and a Qe value of 16.2 mg g-1. Furthermore, the adsorption process resembles the Freundlich adsorption model with a heterogeneity factor of less than 1 (0.61) and Kf greater for MIP (1.97). The selectivity test indicated that MIP is more selective for curcumin (Q = 13.20 mg g-1) than against interferents (Q = 2.19 mg g-1). The specific selectivity factor (S) obtained for the interferents was greater than 1 which indicates a good selectivity. Finally, the application of MIP in real samples using UV-vis spectrophotometry yielded a recovery value greater than 70%.

Abstract
Turmeric, a spice known for its therapeutic benefits, is a major source of curcumin which is a polyphenol with anti-inflammatory properties. It aids in treating arthritis, anxiety, metabolic syndrome, liver disease, hyperlipidemia, and inflammatory diseases. In this study, a novel fluorescence probe was designed to detect the adulteration of curcumin by metanil yellow (a harmful artificial dye). The probe was synthesized from the carbonization and conversion of the Tannic acid-Eu3+ complex to bright fluorescence Eu-carbon dots in the presence of orthophosphoric acid. The size, morphological, and optical features of the formed Eu-carbon dots were characterized by UV, SEM, TEM, and FTIR techniques. Furthermore, the formed Eu-carbon dots possess unique fluorescence excitation and emission features at 307.5 nm and 340.6 nm, respectively. These fluorescence features can be successfully quenched upon the addition of metanil yellow dye. The value of quenching in the fluorescence intensity of the Eu-C-dots was directly proportional to the dye's concentration. The LOD value for the proposed method was 0.390 µg/mL with a linear range of 1.0-15.0 µg/mL. Furthermore, the methodology exhibited good recovery values for determining the studied dye without any interference from the presence of curcumin.

Abstract
AbstractThe following paper presents a construct for a paper-based device which utilizes latex as the hydrophobic material for the fabrication of its hydrophobic barrier, which was deposited onto the cellulose surface either by free-hand or stenciled drawing. This method demands the least amount of expertise and time from its use, enabling a simple and rapid fabrication experience. Several properties of the hydrophobic material were characterized, such as the hydro head and penetration rate, with the aim of assessing its robustness and stability. The presented hydrophobic barriers fabricated using this approach have a barrier width of 4 mm, a coating thickness of 208 µm, and a hydrophilic resolution of 446.5 µm. This fabrication modality boasts an excellent solvent resistance with regard to the hydrophobic barrier. These devices were employed for on-the-spot detection of Metanil Yellow, a banned food adulterant often used in curcumin and pigeon peas, within successful limits of detection (LOD) of 0.5% (w/w) and 0.25% (w/w), respectively. These results indicate the great potential this fabricated hydrophobic device has in numerous paper-based applications and other closely related domains, such as diagnostics and sensing, signalling its capacity to become commonplace in both industrial and domestic settings.

Abstract
Turmeric is an indispensable culinary spice in different cultures and a principal component in traditional remedies. Toxic metanil yellow (MY), acid orange 7 (AO) and lead chromate (LCM) are deliberately added to adulterate turmeric powder. This work compares the ability of multivariate chemometric models with those of artificial intelligent networks to enhance the selectivity of spectral data for the rapid assay of these three adulterants in turmeric powder. Using a custom experimental design, we provide a data-driven optimization for the sensitive parameters of the partial least squares model (PLS), artificial neural network (ANN) and genetic algorithm (GA). The optimized models are validated using sets of genuine turmeric samples from five different geographical regions spiked with standard adulterant concentrations. The optimized GA-PLS and GA-ANN models reduce the root mean square error of prediction by 18.4%, 31.1% and 55.3% and 25.0%, 69.9% and 88.4% for MY, AO and LCM, respectively.

Abstract
Curcumin is a natural product that is frequently utilized in cancer prevention and treatment. The significant benefit of vegetable-derived nutraceuticals in combination with widespread cytostatic medication such as ponatinib is to reduce toxicity and side effects. In this paper, we focus the study on analytical quantification of ponatinib and curcumin through highly sensitive synchronous spectrofluorometric method. Applying this method at Δλ = 160 nm, each of ponatinib and curcumin could be measured at 303 and 412 nm without interference from each others. The diverse experimental factors impacting the performance of the method were studied and optimized. The method exhibited a reasonable linearity in the ranges of 5.0-60.0 and 10.0-200.0 ng/mL for ponatinib and curcumin, respectively with detection limits of 1.48 and 1.22 ng/mL and quantitation limits of 4.49 and 3.68 ng/mL, respectively. The anticipated method was employed for the assessment and evaluation of the studied drugs in the spiked human plasma samples. The mean % recoveries in plasma samples (n = 6) for each of ponatinib and curcumin were 99.84 ± 1.86 and 100.06 ± 2.72, accordingly. The developed method was validated in conformity with the requirements of International Council of Harmonization (ICH).

Abstract
Graphene and its derivates offer a wide range of possibilities in the electroanalysis field, mainly owing to their biocompatibility, low-cost, and easy tuning. This work reports the development of an enzymatic biosensor using reduced graphene oxide (RGO) as a key nanomaterial for the detection of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs). RGO was obtained from the electrochemical reduction of graphene oxide (GO), an intermediate previously synthesized in the laboratory by a wet chemistry top-down approach. The extensive characterization of this material was carried out to evaluate its proper inclusion in the biosensor arrangement. The results demonstrated the presence of GO or RGO and their correct integration on the sensor surface. The detection of CECs was carried out by modifying the graphene platform with a laccase enzyme, turning the sensor into a more selective and sensitive device. Laccase was linked covalently to RGO using the remaining carboxylic groups of the reduction step and the carbodiimide reaction. After the calibration and characterization of the biosensor versus catechol, a standard laccase substrate, EDTA and benzoic acid were detected satisfactorily as inhibiting agents of the enzyme catalysis obtaining inhibition constants for EDTA and benzoic acid of 25 and 17 mmol·L−1, respectively, and a maximum inhibition percentage of the 25% for the EDTA and 60% for the benzoic acid.

Abstract
An intrinsic Eu(III) luminescence phenomenon of Eu(III) complex was found under near-infrared light (NIRL) excitation of xenon lamp, and the maximum excitation wavelength is about twice the excitation wavelength of its Stokes fluorescence. The NIRL excitation fluorescence was mainly originated from second order diffracted light (SODL) excitation. The Eu(III) complex was consist of Eu(III), Gd(III), 2-trifluoroacetylacetone (TTA) and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). Curcumin (Cur) could notably quench the luminescence intensity of the Eu(III) complex. Based on this, a sensitive method for Cur detection was developed. Under optimum conditions, the decrease extent in the fluorescence intensity at 611 nm exhibited a good linear relationship with the Cur concentration in the range of 2.0 × 10-9 mol/L - 6.0 × 10-8 mol/L under 746 nm excitation, the limit of detection (LOD, S/N = 3) was 5.2 × 10-10 mol/L. While, the linear relationship and the LOD of Stokes fluorescence method (λex/λem = 360/611 nm) were found to be 1.0 × 10-8 mol/L - 6.0 × 10-8 mol/L and 2.6 × 10-9 mol/L, respectively. The former method is superior to the latter one in Cur detection. Both two methods were successfully applied to determine Cur in real samples. The luminescence mechanism of Eu(III) complex under the NIRL excitation and the quenching mechanism of Cur on the Eu(III) fluorescence was also investigated.

Abstract
Herein, an electrochemical method is presented for the detection of curcumin in food using a carbon nanotube (CNT)-carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) electrode. The CNT-CMC electrode exhibited ideal characteristics for curcumin detection, namely, a high response current and adequate peak separation toward curcumin oxidation. Cyclic voltammetry revealed two oxidation peaks. In the first scan, only the irreversible peak (Peak I) was observed at a higher potential. In the second scan, the reversible redox peak pairs (Peaks II and II') appeared at lower potentials, and the potential of Peak I was decreased. Peak I corresponded to oxidation of the hydroxyl groups of the benzene ring to the catechol group via a phenoxy radical, while Peaks II and II' indicated the redox loop system of the generated catechol group. The current at Peak II was used to quantify the concentration of curcumin in the linear range of 1 - 48 μM and detection limit of 0.084 μM. The concentrations of curcumin determined by the CNT-CMC electrode in real food samples were consistent with those determined by high-performance liquid chromatography.

Abstract
This work reports for the first time the preparation and performance of a nanosensor for the simultaneous detection of metanil yellow and fast green, which are toxic food dyes. For the development of this sensitive platform, the surface of a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was modified with calixarene and gold nanoparticles. The sensing ability of the designed nanosensor (calix8/Au NPs/GCE) was tested by cyclic voltammetry, differential pulse voltammetry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The influence of a number of parameters was investigated for optimizing the conditions to achieve the best response of the target analytes. Due to the synergistic activity of calix[8]arene and Au nanoparticles, the calix8/Au NPs/GCE nanocomposite was found to significantly enhance the signals of the selected food dyes in comparison to bare GCE. Under optimized conditions, limits of detection for metanil yellow and fast green were found to be 9.8 and 19.7 nM, respectively, at the calix8/Au NPs/GCE. The designed sensing platform also demonstrated figures of merit when applied for the sensing of food dyes in real water and juice samples. Moreover, high percent recovery, reproducibility, and stability suggested applicability of the designed electrochemical platform for real sample analysis.
