Abstract
Most of the porous materials used for acetylene/carbon dioxide separation have the problems of poor stability and high energy requirements for regeneration, which significantly hinder their practical application in industries. Here, we report a novel calcium-based metal-organic framework (NKM-123) with excellent chemical stability against water, acids, and bases. Additionally, it has exceptional thermal stability, retaining its structural integrity at temperatures up to 300 °C. This material exhibits promising potential for separating C2H2 and CO2 gases. Furthermore, it demonstrates an adsorption heat of 29.3 kJ mol-1 for C2H2, which is lower than that observed in the majority of MOFs used for C2H2/CO2 separations. The preferential adsorption of C2H2 over that of CO2 is confirmed by dispersion-corrected density functional theory (DFT-D) calculations. In addition, the potential of industrial feasibility of NKM-123 for C2H2/CO2 separation is confirmed by transient breakthrough tests. The robust cycle performance and structural stability of NKM-123 during multiple breakthrough tests show great potential in the industrial separation of light hydrocarbons.

Food Chem 2024; 433:137355. [PMID: 37683478 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2023.137355] [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: 01/19/2023] [Revised: 08/25/2023] [Accepted: 08/29/2023] [Indexed: 09/10/2023]
Abstract
A portable colorimetric aptasensor was developed on the surface of a plastic sheet for on-site detection of acrylamide. The mechanism of aptasensor is based on the disruption of the aptamer complex with its complementary strand on the sensing zone, and subsequently, the catalytic activity of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) for the reduction process of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) in the presence of sodium borohydride (NaBH4). A yellow-to-colorless change of the sample solution revealed the target presence, easily discernible by the naked eye. The acrylamide quantification was accomplished using the smartphone imaging readout technique. The aptasensor detected the acrylamide concentration in the range of 0.01-500 nmol L-1 with a detection limit of 0.0024 nmol L-1. Coffee, potato chips, bread, and lake water samples were successfully analyzed by the aptasensor for their acrylamide content. The introduced aptasensor can pave a facile, cost-effective, portable, and user-friendly sensing tool for food safety control and environmental monitoring.

Abstract
The measurement of food contaminants faces a great challenge owing to the increasing demand for safe food, increasing consumption of fast food, and rapidly changing patterns of human consumption. As different types of contaminants in food products can pose different levels of threat to human health, it is desirable to develop specific and rapid methods for their identification and quantification. During the past few years, metal-organic framework (MOF)-based materials have been extensively explored in the development of food safety sensors. MOFs are porous crystalline materials with tunable composition, dynamic porosity, and facile surface functionalization. The construction of high-performance biosensors for a range of applications (e.g., food safety, environmental monitoring, and biochemical diagnostics) can thus be promoted through the synergistic combination of MOFs with aptamers. Accordingly, this review article delineates recent innovations achieved for the aptamer-functionalized MOFs toward the detection of food contaminants. First, we describe the basic concepts involved in the detection of food contaminants in terms of the advantages and disadvantages of the commonly used analytical methods (e.g., DNA-based methods (PCR/real-time PCR/multiplex PCR/digital PCR) and protein-based methods (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay/immunochromatography assay/immunosensor/mass spectrometry). Afterward, the progress in aptamer-functionalized MOF biosensors is discussed with respect to the sensing mechanisms (e.g., the role of MOFs as signal probes and carriers for loading signal probes) along with their performance evaluation (e.g., in terms of sensitivity). We finally discuss challenges and opportunities associated with the development of aptamer-functionalized MOFs for the measurement of food contaminants.

A simple and robust aptasensor assembled on surfactant-mediated liquid crystal interface for ultrasensitive detection of mycotoxin. Anal Chim Acta 2023; 1270:341478. [PMID: 37311610 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2023.341478] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2023] [Revised: 05/23/2023] [Accepted: 06/02/2023] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Here, a simple aptasensing approach is represented to sensitively detect ochratoxin A (OTA) as one of the most perilous mycotoxins with carcinogenic, nephrotoxic, teratogenic, and immunosuppressive sequels on human health. The aptasensor is based on the alteration in the orientational order of liquid crystal (LC) molecules at the surfactant-arranged interface. Homeotropic alignment of LCs is achieved by the interaction of the surfactant tail with LCs. By perturbing the alignment of LCs due to the electrostatic interaction of the aptamer strand with the surfactant head, a colorful polarized view of the aptasensor substrate is induced drastically. While OTA causes the re-orientation of LCs to a vertical state by forming an OTA-aptamer complex that induces darkness of the substrate. This study shows that the length of the aptamer strand impacts the efficiency of the aptasensor; longer strand results in the greater disruption of LCs, and therefore, increases the aptasensor sensitivity. Hence, the aptasensor can determine OTA in the linear concentration range of 0.1 fM-1 pM as low as 0.021 fM. The aptasensor is capable to monitor OTA in grape juice, coffee drink, corn, and human serum real samples. The proposed LC-based aptasensor provides a cost-effective, easy-to-carry, operator-independent, and user-friendly array with great potential to develop portable sensing gadgets for food quality control and health care monitoring.

Abstract
A facile and novel Ce-MOF@MWCNTs@ZnO-modified glassy carbon electrode was prepared through drop coating and used for accurate and sensitive electrochemical detection of carbendazim. The modification of ZnO nanospheres and Ce-based metal-organic frameworks (Ce-MOFs), which possess vast surface/bulk ratio, large surface area, and excellent catalytic ability, provided more active sites for reaction. The combination of multi-walled carbon nanotubes endowed the modified electrode with excellent conductivity and greatly accelerated the electron transfer. The promotion of electrochemical response and the significant improvement of peak current indicated the outstanding electrocatalytic ability of the modified electrode. The oxidation peak current of carbendazim which was measured by DPV in a potential range from 0.5 to 1.0 V produced a good linear relationship in the concentration ranges 0.05-10.0 μM and 10.0-50.0 μM under optimized experimental conditions. The detection limit was 13.2 nM (S/N = 3). The constructed electrode was successfully applied to the detection of carbendazim in Lithospermum and Glycyrrhiza uralensis real samples and exhibited satisfactory RSD (2.7-3.6% and 1.6-4.8%, respectively) and recovery (102-106% and 97.7-107%, respectively).

Abstract
Due to the detrimental effects of cocaine on the human body such as organ damage, paranoia, immunodeficiency, cardiovascular disease, blood pressure, and stress, it is highly required to develop sensing approaches for its rapid and facile determination. Based on the signal enhancement capability of the UiO-66/AuNPs nanocomposite and acting as a capture agent, we designed a cost-effective fluorescent aptasensor for cocaine detection. The cocaine presence in the sample would cause a considerable escalation in the quenching of the fluorescence signal. The aptasensor achieved the linear response range over 0.5 μM-20 μM with a low detection limit of 0.178 μM. The selectivity of the designed aptasensing assay was successfully confirmed by examining several analgesic drugs. The aptasensor was employed for cocaine determination in human serum as the real samples. This method has a substantial benefit the for development of a low-cost and facile tool in medicine and forensic science.

Abstract
In this research, a signal-off electrochemical aptasensor with high sensitivity was constructed for trace detection of zearalenone (ZEN). Specifically, Ce-based metal-organic framework and multi-walled carbon nanotubes nanocomposite was functionalized with polyethyleneimine (P-Ce-MOF@MWCNTs) and served as sensing platform for its high surface area and excellent electrochemical active. Subsequently, toluidine blue (TB) was electrodeposited as the signal probe, and platinum@gold nanoparticles (Pt@Au) were dropped for the attachment of aptamer (ZEA). In the presence of ZEN, the ZEA would specifically recognize and combine with the target, causing a decrease of electrochemical signal from TB. Under the optimal conditions, the aptasensor exhibited good linear relationship for ZEN in a concentration range from 5.0 × 10-5 to 50.0 ng/mL, while the limit of detection (LOD, S/N = 3) and limit of quantitation (LOQ, S/N = 10) were 1.0 × 10-5 ng/mL and 2.9 × 10-5 ng/mL, respectively. Ultimately, the aptasensor was successfully applied into ZEN detection in semen coicis real samples.

Abstract
Metal-organic framework materials (MOFs) have been widely used in food contamination adsorption and detection due to their large specific surface area, specific pore structure and flexible post-modification. MOFs with specific pore size can be targeted for selective adsorption of some contaminants and can be used as pretreatment and pre-concentration steps to purify samples and enrich target analytes for food contamination detection to improve the detection efficiency. In addition, MOFs, as a new functional material, play an important role in developing new rapid detection methods that are simple, portable, inexpensive and with high sensitivity and accuracy. The aim of this paper is to summarize the latest and insightful research results on MOFs for the adsorption and detection of food contaminants. By summarizing Zn-based, Cu-based and Zr-based MOFs with low cost, easily available raw materials and convenient synthesis conditions, we describe their principles and discuss their applications in chemical and biological contaminant adsorption and sensing detection in terms of stability, adsorption capacity and sensitivity. Finally, we present the limitations and challenges of MOFs in food detection, hoping to provide some ideas for future development.

Abstract
Erlotinib is a potent and highly specific tyrosine kinase inhibitor with the hindering effects on the growth of cancer cells. An electrochemical sensor with the great sensitivity and selectivity was fabricated for determining erlotinib by using a graphite rod electrode modified by the nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots (N-GQDs) and a ternary nanohybrid comprising copper nanoparticles, polyaniline, along with graphene oxide (N-GQDs/CuNPs-PANI@GO) for the first time. The establishment of PANI and CuNPs was done simultaneously on the GO surface by thein situoxidative polymerization method. The morphological characteristics and elemental structure of the synthesized nanoparticles were examined by some microscopy techniques and x-ray energy/diffraction methods. The fabricated sensor represented the electrocatalytic activity towards erlotinib with a linear detection range from 1.0 nM to 35.0μM, a detection limit of 0.712 nM, and a sensitivity of 1.3604μAμM-1. Moreover, the N-GQDs/CuNPs-PANI@GO sensor showed acceptable stability up to 30 d (94.82%), reproducibility (RSD values of 3.19% intraday and 3.52% interday), and repeatability (RSD value of 3.65%) as a novel and powerful electrochemical sensor. It was successfully applied to monitor erlotinib in the drug-injected aqueous solution, serum, and urine samples that proved the capability of the sensor for the erlotinib monitoring in the biological samples.

Abstract
Mycotoxin contamination in foodstuffs and agricultural products has posed a serious hazard to human health and raised international concern. The progress of cost-effective, facile, rapid and reliable analytical tools for mycotoxin determination is in urgent need. In this regard, the potential utility of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as a class of crystalline porous materials has sparked immense attention due to their large specific surface area, adjustable pore size, nanoscale framework structure and good chemical stability. The amalgamation of MOFs with high-affinity aptamers has resulted in the progress of advanced aptasensing methods for clinical and food/water safety diagnosis. Aptamers have many advantages over classical approaches as exceptional molecular recognition constituents for versatile bioassays tools. The excellent sensitivity and selectivity of the MOF-aptamer biocomposite nominate them as efficient lab-on-chip tools for portable, label-free, cost-effective and real-time screening of mycotoxins. Current breakthroughs in the concept, progress and biosensing applications of aptamer functionalized MOFs-derived electrochemical and optical sensors for mycotoxins have been discussed in this study. We first highlighted an overview part, which provides some insights into the functionalization mechanisms of MOFs with aptamers, offering a foundation to create MOFs-based aptasensors. Then, we discuss various strategies to design high-performance MOFs-based aptamer scaffolds, which serve as either signal nanoprobe carriers or signal nanoprobes and their applications. We perceived that applications of optical aptamers are in their infancy in comparison with electrochemical MOFs-derived aptasensors. Finally, current challenges and prospective trends of MOFs-aptamer sensors are discussed.

Abstract
Aptamers are a particular class of functional recognition ligands with high specificity and affinity to their targets. As the candidate recognition layer of biosensors, aptamers can be used to sense biomolecules. Aptasensors, aptamer-based biosensors, have been demonstrated to be specific, sensitive, and cost-effective. Furthermore, smartphone-based devices have shown their advantages in binding to aptasensors for point-of-care testing (POCT), which offers an immediate or spontaneous responding time for biological testing. This review describes smartphone-based aptasensors to detect various targets such as metal ions, nucleic acids, proteins, and cells. Additionally, the focus is also on aptasensors-related technologies and configurations.
