[PMID: 39151348 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.140830] [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: 07/16/2024] [Accepted: 08/09/2024] [Indexed: 08/19/2024]
Abstract
Herein, we have manufactured a newly designed bifunctional impedimetric and amperometric immunosensor for rapidly detecting erythromycin (ERY) in complicated environments and food stuffs. For this, bimetallic cobalt/cerium-layered double hydroxide nanosheets (CoCe-LDH NSs), which was derived from Co-based zeolite imidazole framework via the structure conversion, was simultaneously utilized as the bioplatform for anchoring the ERY-targeted antibody and for modifying the gold and screen printed electrode. Basic characterizations revealed that CoCe-LDH NSs was composed of mixed metal valences, enrich redox, and abundant oxygen vacancies, facilitating the adhesion on the electrode, the antibody adsorption, and the electron transfers. The manufactured impedimetric and amperometric immunosensor based on CoCe-LDH has showed the comparable sensing performance, having a wide linear detection range from 1.0 fg mL-1 to 1.0 ng mL-1 with the ultralow detection limit toward ERY. Also, the portable, visualized, and efficient analysis of ERY was then attained at the smartphone-assisted CoCe-LDH-based SPE.

Abstract
Plasmonic nanoparticles are an emerging tool for developing label-free multicolorimetric sensors for biosensing and chemosensing applications. The color absorbed by nanoparticles from visible light is influenced by their size, shape, orientation, and interparticle distance. Differently sized and shaped gold and silver nanoparticles exhibit a wide range of colors, aiding in the development of label-free sensors. Etching is the process of oxidizing nanoparticles, which alters their aspect ratio, shape, plasmonic peak, and outward appearance. It is typically used to create sensitive sensing platforms. Through etching, analytes could be detected in a simple, sensitive, and selective manner. The multicolor readout of nanoparticle etching-based multicolorimetric sensors can overcome the limitations of conventional colorimetric assays and improve the accuracy of visual inspection. This review discusses different approaches for target sensing using nanoparticle etching strategies like direct etching, enzyme-mediated etching, chemical reaction-driven etching, and anti-etching-based sensors and their mechanisms. In the future, etching strategies could be modified into portable sensing devices to detect a variety of analytes, which will aid in the development of on-time, in situ, and point-of-care sensing systems.

Progress in Plasmonic Sensors as Monitoring Tools for Aquaculture Quality Control. BIOSENSORS 2023; 13:90.

Abstract
Aquaculture is an expanding economic sector that nourishes the world's growing population due to its nutritional significance over the years as a source of high-quality proteins. However, it has faced severe challenges due to significant cases of environmental pollution, pathogen outbreaks, and the lack of traceability that guarantees the quality assurance of its products. Such context has prompted many researchers to work on the development of novel, affordable, and reliable technologies, many based on nanophotonic sensing methodologies. These emerging technologies, such as surface plasmon resonance (SPR), localised SPR (LSPR), and fibre-optic SPR (FO-SPR) systems, overcome many of the drawbacks of conventional analytical tools in terms of portability, reagent and solvent use, and the simplicity of sample pre-treatments, which would benefit a more sustainable and profitable aquaculture. To highlight the current progress made in these technologies that would allow them to be transferred for implementation in the field, along with the lag with respect to the most cutting-edge plasmonic sensing, this review provides a variety of information on recent advances in these emerging methodologies that can be used to comprehensively monitor the various operations involving the different commercial stages of farmed aquaculture. For example, to detect environmental hazards, track fish health through biochemical indicators, and monitor disease and biosecurity of fish meat products. Furthermore, it highlights the critical issues associated with these technologies, how to integrate them into farming facilities, and the challenges and prospects of developing plasmonic-based sensors for aquaculture.

Abstract
Antibiotics constitute one of the emerging categories of persistent organic pollutants, characterised by their expansion of resistant pathogens. Antibiotic pollutants create a major public health challenge, with already identifiable detrimental effects on human and animal health. A fundamental aspect of controlling and preventing the spread of pollutants is the continuous screening and monitoring of environmental samples. Molecular imprinting is a state-of-the-art technique for designing robust biomimetic receptors called molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), which mimic natural biomolecules in target-selective recognition. When integrated with an appropriate sensor transducer, MIP demonstrates a potential for the needed environmental monitoring, thus justifying the observed rise in interest in this field of research. This review examines scientific interventions within the last decade on the determination of antibiotic water pollutants using MIP receptors interfaced with label-free sensing platforms, with an expanded focus on optical, piezoelectric, and electrochemical systems. Following these, the review evaluates the analytical performance of outstanding MIP-based sensors for environmentally significant antibiotics, while highlighting the importance of computational chemistry in functional monomer selection and the strategies for signal amplification and performance improvement. Lastly, the review points out the future trends in antibiotic MIP research, as it transits from a proof of concept to the much demanded commercially available entity.

Abstract
Water quality and safety are vital to the ecological environment, social development, and ecological susceptibility. The extensive use and continuous discharge of antibiotics have caused serious water pollution; antibiotics are widely found in freshwater, drinking water, and reservoirs; and this pollution has become a common phenomenon and challenge in global water ecosystems, as water polluted by antibiotics poses serious risks to human health and the ecological environment. Therefore, the antibiotic content in water should be identified, monitored, and eliminated. Nevertheless, there is no single method that can detect all different types of antibiotics, so various techniques are often combined to produce reliable results. This review summarizes the sources of antibiotic pollution in water, covering three main aspects: (1) wastewater discharges from domestic sewage, (2) medical wastewater, and (3) animal physiology and aquaculture. The existing analytical techniques, including extraction techniques, conventional detection methods, and biosensors, are reviewed. The electrochemical biosensors have become a research hotspot in recent years because of their rapid detection, high efficiency, and portability, and the use of nanoparticles contributes to these outstanding qualities. Additionally, the comprehensive quality evaluation of various detection methods, including the linear detection range, detection limit (LOD), and recovery rate, is discussed, and the future of this research field is also prospected.

Abstract
Hemoglobin (Hb) is the most abundant protein in the blood. It is vital for the living as oxygen carriers. Some of the very pure Hb-containing biological fluids are currently under clinical trial. However, the removal and purification of Hb from the blood are quite difficult, especially when it is at a low concentration level. In this study, the molecularly imprinted polymeric nanoparticles (MIPNs) were prepared using N-methacryloyl-histidine methyl ester (MAH) by mini-emulsion polymerization technique for specific binding of human hemoglobin (HHb). MIPNs in monosize form have a size of 152 ± 4 nm. They also have a high binding capacity (32.33 mg/g) of HHb. MIPNs retain 84% of the re-binding capacity for HHb after 10 cycles. The nanoparticles have 16 and 5 times higher binding capacity of HHb, respectively, in the presence of bovine serum albumin and lysozyme. Thanks to their high binding capacity and selectivity, MIPNs will allow them to be detected selectively for different target molecules. According to molecular docking, the main binding forces depend on hydrogen bonds and Van der Waals forces in the interaction within 5 Å around MAH molecule are observed through the amino acid residues of HHb at β1 and β2 subunit. The statistical mechanical analysis of docking showed that the free energy (ΔG) is -2732.14 kcal/mol, which indicates the interaction between MAH and HHb is energetically favorable at 298.15°K.

Abstract
This article describes an optical method based on the association of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) with chitosan (CS) film and its nanocomposites, including zinc oxide (ZnO) or graphene oxide (GO) for glyphosate detection. CS and CS/ZnO or CS/GO thin films were deposited on an Au chip using the spin coating technique. The characterization, morphology, and composition of these films were performed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and contact angle technique. Sensor preparation conditions including the cross-linking and mobile phase (pH and salinity) were investigated and thoroughly optimized. Results showed that the CS/ZnO thin-film composite provides the highest sensitivity for glyphosate sensing with a low detection limit of 8 nM and with high reproducibility. From the Langmuir-type adsorption model and the effect of ionic strength, the adsorption mechanisms of glyphosate could be controlled by electrostatic and steric interaction with possible formation of 1:1 outer-sphere surface complexes. The selectivity of the optical method was investigated with respect to the sorption of glyphosate metabolite (aminomethylphosphonic acid) (AMPA), glufosinate, and one of the glufonisate metabolites (3-methyl-phosphinico-propionic acid) (MPPA). Results showed that the SPR sensor offers a very good selectivity for glyphosate, but the competition of other molecules could still occur in aqueous systems.

Abstract
In this study, it is aimed to determine cardiac troponin I by a surface plasmon resonance biosensor immobilized anti-cardiac troponin I monoclonal antibody. The immobilized anti-cardiac troponin I monoclonal antibody surface plasmon resonance biosensors were characterized with ellipsometry, atomic force microscopy and contact angle analysis. After that, surface plasmon resonance biosensor system was completed to biosensor system to investigate kinetic properties for cardiac tropinin I. The sensing ability of surface plasmon resonance biosensor was investigated with 0.001-8.0 ng/mL concentrations of cardiac tropinin I solutions. The limit of detection and limit of quantification were calculated as 0.00012 ng/mL and 0.00041 ng/mL, respectively. To show the selectivity of surface plasmon resonance biosensor competitive adsorption of cardiac tropinin I, myoglobin, immunoglobulin G and prostate specific antigen were investigated. Surface plasmon resonance biosensor was investigated five times with 0.5 ng/mL concentrations of cardiac tropinin I solution to show reuse of the chip. The results showed that surface plasmon resonance biosensor has high selectivity for cardiac tropinin I. The reproducibility of surface plasmon resonance sensors was investigated both on the same day and on different days for five times. To determine the usability, selectivity and validation studies of surface plasmon resonance biosensors were performed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method.

Abstract
Adverse effects of pharmaceutical emerging contaminants (PECs), including antibiotics, in water supplies has been a global concern in recent years as they threaten fresh water security and lead to serious health problems to human, wildlife and the environment. However, detection of these contaminants in water sources, as well as food products, is difficult due to their low concentration. Here, we prepared a new family of magnetic molecular imprinted polymer (MMIP) networks for binding antibiotics via a microemulsion polymerization technique using vinyl silane modified Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles. The cross-linked polymer backbone successfully integrated with 20-30 nm magnetic nanoparticles and generated a novel porous polymeric network structure. These networks showed a high binding capacity for both templates, erythromycin and ciprofloxacin at 70 and 32 mg/g. Both MMIPs were also recyclable, retaining 75 % and 68 % of the binding capacity after 4 cycles. These MMIPs have showed a clear preference for binding the template molecules, with a binding capacity 4- to 7-fold higher than the other antibiotics in the same matrix. These results demonstrate our MMIP networks, which offered high binding capacity and selectivity as well as recyclability, can be used for both removal and monitoring hazardous antibiotic pollutants in different sources/samples and food products.

Abstract
Considering the high incidence level and mortality rate of ovarian cancer, particularly among the European female population, the carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA-125) was selected as the protein target for this study for the development of a MIP-based biosensor. This work presents the development of molecular imprinting polymers (MIPs) on gold electrode surface for CA-125 biomarker recognition. The preparation of the CA-125 imprinting was obtained by electropolymerization of pyrrole (Py) monomer in a gold electrode using cyclic voltammetry (CV) in order to obtain highly selective materials with great molecular recognition capability. The quantification of CA-125 biomarker was made through the comparison of two methods: electrochemical (square wave voltammetry -SWV) and optical transduction (surface plasmon resonance -SPR). SWV has been widely used in biological molecules analysis since it is a fast and sensitive technique. In turn, SPR is a non-destructive optical technique that provides high-quality analytical data of CA-125 biomarker interactions with MIP. Several analytical parameters, such as sensitivity, linear response interval, and detection limit were determined to proceed to the performance evaluation of the electrochemical and optical transduction used in the development of the CA-125 biosensor. The biosensor based in the electrochemical transduction was the one that presented the best analytical parameters, yielding a good selectivity and a detection limit (LOD) of 0.01 U/mL, providing a linear concentration range between 0.01 and 500 U/mL. This electrochemical biosensor was selected for the study and it was successfully applied in the CA-125 analysis in artificial serum samples with recovery rates ranging from 91 to 105% with an average relative error of 5.8%.

Abstract
In this study, a novel photoluminescence material for the detection of tributyltin (TBT) was developed by using a paper-based nanocomposite system. For this purpose, molecularly imprinted polymeric nanoparticles (MIN) were synthesized with mini-emulsion polymerization technique. Graphene quantum dots obtained by the hydrothermal pyrolysis were immobilized to the nanoparticle surface via EDC-NHS coupling. The fabrication of sensing platform for TBT can be divided into two steps that are the preparation of nanocomposite and the applying the nanocomposite onto nitrocellulose membrane. The selectivity constant and association kinetics were calculated to analyze the interaction of TBT with immobilized MINs. The results proved that the developed nanosensor is promising for the determination of TBT with high selectivity and sensitivity reaching a detection limit of 0.23 ppt in seawater. This novel photoluminescent nanosensor has the potential to pave the way for further studies and applications.

Abstract
Natural antibodies used as biorecognition elements suffer from numerous shortcomings, such as limited chemical and environmental stability and cost. Artificial antibodies based on molecular imprinting are an attractive alternative to natural antibodies. We investigated the role of aromatic interactions in target recognition capabilities of artificial antibodies. Three proteins with different aromatic amino acid content were employed as model targets. Artificial antibodies were formed on nanostructures using combinations of silane monomers of varying aromatic functionality. We employed refractive index sensitivity of plasmonic nanostructures as a transduction platform for monitoring various steps in the imprinting process and to quantify the target recognition capabilities of the artificial antibodies. The sensitivity of the artificial antibodies with aromatic interactions exhibited a protein-dependent enhancement. Selectivity and sensitivity enhancement due to the presence of aromatic groups in imprinted polymer matrix was found to be higher for target proteins with higher aromatic amino acid content. Our results indicate that tailoring the monomer composition based on the amino acid content of the target protein can improve the sensitivity of plasmonic biosensors based on artificial antibodies without affecting the selectivity.

Abstract
An erythromycin (ERY) detection method is proposed using the fiber optic core decorated with the coatings of silver and an over layer of ERY imprinted nanoparticles. Synthesis of ERY imprinted nanoparticles is carried out using miniemulsion method. The operating range of the sensor is observed to be from 1.62×10-3 to 100µM while the sensor possesses the linear response for ERY concentration range from 0.1 to 5µM. The sensing method shows a maximum sensitivity of 205nm/µM near ERY concentration of 0.01µM. The detection limit and the quantification limit of the sensor are found to be 1.62×10-3µM and 6.14×10-3µM, respectively. The sensor's applicability in real samples is also examined and is found to be in good agreement for the industrial application. The sensor possesses numerous advantages like fast response time (<15s), simple, low cost, highly selective along with abilities towards online monitoring and remote sensing of analyte.

Abstract
In this work, a rapid and simple colorimetric method based on the surface plasmon resonance of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was developed for the detection of the drug Timolol. The method used is based on the interaction of Timolol with the surface of the as-synthesized AgNPs, which promotes aggregation of the nanoparticles. This aggregation exploits the surface plasmon resonance through the electric dipole-dipole interaction and coupling among the agglomerated particles, hence bringing forth distinctive changes in the spectra as well as the color of colloidal silver. UV-vis spectrophotometery was used to monitor the changes of the localized surface plasmon resonance of AgNPs at wavelengths of 400 and 550 nm. The developed colorimetric sensor has a wide dynamic range of 1.0 × 10(-7) M-1.0 × 10(-3) M for detection of Timolol with a low detection limit of 1.2 × 10(-6) M. The proposed method was successfully applied for the determination of Timolol concentration in ophthalmic eye-drop solution with a response time lower than 40 s.
