Anal Bioanal Chem 2023:10.1007/s00216-023-04839-9. [PMID: 37438565 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-023-04839-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2022] [Revised: 06/28/2023] [Accepted: 06/30/2023] [Indexed: 07/14/2023]
Abstract
Titanium dioxide is a food additive commonly used as a white food coloring (E171). Its wide use by the food industry associated with the nanometric size distribution of the particles of this pigment has shown high genotoxicity associated with recurrent exposure by ingestion. Therefore, the use of E171 in food products has already been banned by some industries and in the European Union. Such banishment should soon be extended to other countries around the world, making it important to establish techniques for the efficient determination of TiO2 in different food products. The association between hyperspectral images and chemometric tools can be useful in this sense, aiming to enable the use of a single method for sample preparation and analysis of different types of food. Thus, the present work aims to evaluate the use of Raman mapping associated with the resolution of multivariate curves with alternating least squares (MCR-ALS) for the determination of titanium dioxide in solid food samples with different compositions, without the need to introduce specific sample preparation. The proposed method allowed for the first-time quantification of TiO2 in different food matrices without specific sample preparation, with a simple, rapid, accurate (93% of recovery), low detection limits (0.0111% m/m) and quantification (0.0370% m/m) and adequate linearity (r = 0.9990) and precise (standard deviation around 0.020-0.030% w/w) methodology. Such results highlight the potential use of Raman mapping associated with the MCR-ALS for quantification of the nano-TiO2 in commercial samples.

Fluorescent-based nanosensors for selective detection of a wide range of biological macromolecules: A comprehensive review. Int J Biol Macromol 2022; 206:115-147. [PMID: 35231532 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2022.02.137] [Citation(s) in RCA: 44] [Impact Index Per Article: 22.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2021] [Revised: 02/01/2022] [Accepted: 02/23/2022] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
Thanks to their unique attributes, such as good sensitivity, selectivity, high surface-to-volume ratio, and versatile optical and electronic properties, fluorescent-based bioprobes have been used to create highly sensitive nanobiosensors to detect various biological and chemical agents. These sensors are superior to other analytical instrumentation techniques like gas chromatography, high-performance liquid chromatography, and capillary electrophoresis for being biodegradable, eco-friendly, and more economical, operational, and cost-effective. Moreover, several reports have also highlighted their application in the early detection of biomarkers associated with drug-induced organ damage such as liver, kidney, or lungs. In the present work, we comprehensively overviewed the electrochemical sensors that employ nanomaterials (nanoparticles/colloids or quantum dots, carbon dots, or nanoscaled metal-organic frameworks, etc.) to detect a variety of biological macromolecules based on fluorescent emission spectra. In addition, the most important mechanisms and methods to sense amino acids, protein, peptides, enzymes, carbohydrates, neurotransmitters, nucleic acids, vitamins, ions, metals, and electrolytes, blood gases, drugs (i.e., anti-inflammatory agents and antibiotics), toxins, alkaloids, antioxidants, cancer biomarkers, urinary metabolites (i.e., urea, uric acid, and creatinine), and pathogenic microorganisms were outlined and compared in terms of their selectivity and sensitivity. Altogether, the small dimensions and capability of these nanosensors for sensitive, label-free, real-time sensing of chemical, biological, and pharmaceutical agents could be used in array-based screening and in-vitro or in-vivo diagnostics. Although fluorescent nanoprobes are widely applied in determining biological macromolecules, unfortunately, they present many challenges and limitations. Efforts must be made to minimize such limitations in utilizing such nanobiosensors with an emphasis on their commercial developments. We believe that the current review can foster the wider incorporation of nanomedicine and will be of particular interest to researchers working on fluorescence technology, material chemistry, coordination polymers, and related research areas.

Abstract
Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) have become common in the food industry, which motivates the need to evaluate ENM effects on human health. Gastrointestinal (GI) in vitro models (e.g. Caco-2, Caco-2/HT29-MTX) have been used in nanotoxicology research. However, the human gut environment is composed of both human cells and the gut microbiota. The goal of this study is to increase the complexity of the Caco-2/HT29-MTX in vitro model by co-culturing human cells with the Gram-positive, commensal Lactobacillus rhamnosus or the Gram-negative, opportunistic Escherichia coli; with the hypothesis that the presence of bacteria would ameliorate the effects of exposure to metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) such as iron oxide (Fe2O3), silicone dioxide (SiO2), titanium dioxide (TiO2), or zinc oxide (ZnO). To understand this relationship, Caco-2/HT29-MTX cell barriers were acutely co-exposed (4 hours) to bacteria and/or NPs (pristine or in vitro digested). The activity of the brush border membrane (BBM) enzymes intestinal alkaline phosphatase (IAP), aminopeptidase-N (APN), sucrase isomaltase (SI) and the basolateral membrane enzyme (BLM) Na+/K+ ATPase were assessed. Findings show that (i) the human digestion process alters the physicochemical properties of NPs, (ii) large agglomerates of NPs remain entrapped on the apical side of the intestinal barrier, which (iii) affects the activity of BBM enzymes. Interestingly, some NPs effects were attenuated in the presence of either bacterial strains. Confocal microscopy detected bacteria-NPs interactions, which may impede the NP-intestinal cell contact. These results highlight the importance of improving in vitro models to closely mimic the complexities of the human body.

Challenges in isolating silica particles from organic food matrices with microwave-assisted acidic digestion. Anal Bioanal Chem 2019; 411:5817-5831. [PMID: 31227846 PMCID: PMC6704109 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-019-01964-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2019] [Revised: 05/16/2019] [Accepted: 06/06/2019] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Synthetic amorphous silica is widely used in food processing as a food additive (E551) due to its properties as a flavour carrier and anti-caking agent. The direct measurement of E551 suspended or embedded in complex matrices is difficult without prior removal of the matrix components. The isolation of nanoparticles from the matrix is hence the first step towards their comprehensive characterization. Due to its complexity, matrix removal is frequently not trivial and may cause modification of the number-size distribution of the silica particles. The isolation of engineered silica nanoparticles by removal of the matrix with microwave-assisted acidic digestion is demonstrated methodologically using both monodisperse (size standards) and polydisperse (E551) particles spiked into ultrapure water and tomato sauce. For the characterization of the isolated nanoparticles, asymmetric field flow fractionation (AF4) coupled to multi-angle laser light scattering (MALS) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) were chosen. The combination of ICP-MS and ultracentrifugation allowed for the rapid and reliable measurement of the dissolved fraction of SiO2. The results show that microwave-assisted acidic digestion partially dissolves silica nanoparticles. Moreover, the digestion conditions, in particular the low pH value, lead to strong agglomeration of the particles. A complete deagglomeration is not achieved, even when exposing the suspension to elevated sonication doses. The consequence of these two findings is a size distribution of particles after acidic digestion that is different from the original distribution before digestion. This result may have an impact on the evaluation of whether the material is a nanomaterial according to the recommended definition of the European Commission. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is commonly used as a color additive in food products. In this study, a total of 11 food products, such as a coffee cream, yogurt snack, hard candy, and chewy candy, that are widely consumed by adults or children were investigated. For characterization of particle size, size distribution, crystallinity, and concentration of TiO2, particles were first extracted using an acid digestion method from food, and various analytical techniques were applied. All products investigated in this study contained nanosized TiO2 particles (21.3-53.7%) in the anatase phase. The particle size of TiO2 was in the range of 26.9-463.2 nm. The concentration of TiO2 in the products ranged from 0.015% (150 ppm) to 0.462% (4620 ppm). These values obtained using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) were considered as the reference and were compared with Raman results to evaluate the feasibility of using the Raman method to quantitate TiO2 in food products. The Raman method developed in this study proved to effectively analyze anatase TiO2 in food products at levels of several hundred parts per million or greater. Limitations of using the Raman method as a quick screening tool for determination of TiO2 are also discussed.

Abstract
Analytical nanometrology is a present challenge in today's analytical science, particularly from a practical point of view and when it is addressed to routine/control laboratories. In this way, a screening-confirmation approach is described for the characterization and distinction between titanium dioxide nano/micro-particles in sugary food samples. The first step involves the confirmation of the presence of TiO2 in the sample (used as additive E171 in sugary samples), using a portable Raman spectrometer, in which the crystalline structure of TiO2 (anatase or rutile) in the positive samples can be also obtained in this step. Then, the second step was only applied to positive samples, and it involves the use of Capillary Electrophoresis (CE), which allows to distinguish between TiO2-nanoparticles (<100 nm) from TiO2-microparticles (>100 nm). Additionally, nanoparticles (TiO2 anatase (5 nm diameter) and TiO2 rutile (60 nm diameter) and rutile microparticles (0.1-0.2 μm diameter) can be electrophoretically separated. The general procedure is simple, fast, and low cost, providing a valuable analytical tool in the field of food safety and control, thus contributing to the development of the analytical nanometrology.

Miniaturized liquid chromatography coupled on-line to in-tube solid-phase microextraction for characterization of metallic nanoparticles using plasmonic measurements. A tutorial.

Abstract
This tutorial aims at providing guidelines for analyzing metallic nanoparticles (NPs) and their dispersions by using methods based on miniaturized liquid chromatography with diode array detection (MinLC-DAD) and coupled on-line to in-tube solid-phase microextraction (IT-SPME). Some practical advice and considerations are given for obtaining reliable results. In addition, this work outlines the potential applications that set these methodologies apart from microscopy-related techniques, dynamic light scattering, single particle ICP-MS, capillary electrophoresis, field-flow fractionation and other chromatographic configurations, which are discussed and mainly seek to accomplish size estimation and NP separation, speciation analysis and quantification of mainly AgNPs and AuNPs. MinLC-DAD has the potential to estimate the NP concentration and from it the average size of unknown samples by calibrating with a single standard, as well as studying potentially non-spherical particles and stability-related properties of their dispersions. While keeping the signal dependency with concentration and increasing the method sensitivity, IT-SPME-MinLC-DAD goes further allowing for the assessment of the dispersant effect and ultimately changes in the nanoparticle surroundings that range from modifications of the hydrodynamic diameter to the exposure to different reagents and matrices. The methodology can still be improved by either exploring newer IT-SPME adsorbents or by assaying new system configurations. Taking into account that this technique gives complementary information in relation to other techniques discussed here, this tutorial serves as a guide for analyzing metallic NPs towards a better understanding of the particle behavior under different scenarios.

Abstract
It is less than 20 years since nanotechnology found applications in food packaging. The new packaging materials have featured various improved characteristics such as antimicrobial activity and active packaging. However, there is a great controversy about the production cost, safety and suitability of nanocomposite materials to come in contact with foodstuffs. To this end, we critically summarize the literature in order to provide the overview of the current status in the field. A scientometric evaluation is presented for the first time in order to illustrate the state of the art. The USA and the Asian countries are the leaders, while the EU countries follow. Additionally, as the analysis of nanomaterials in food matrices is still in early stage, there is an emerging demand to review the analytical techniques which are capable for the monitoring of nanomaterials. Microscopy, spectroscopy, separation and mass spectrometry techniques show advantages and drawbacks which are discussed. FFF-ICP-MS and sp-ICP-MS have the greatest potential for the detection of inorganic nanoparticles in food. In conclusion, the difficulty of analyzing nanoparticles is increased by the lack of standard solutions, reference materials, standard methods and the limited number of available inter-laboratory proficiency tests.

Abstract
A variety of food and drink samples (n = 21) were analyzed to evaluate the presence of (nano-) particles in their composition. After assessment of the sample pre-treatment step, a fast screening analysis was performed for drinks by Dynamic Light Scattering showing particles from 10 to 300 nm that could correspond to organic or metallic NPs. Metallic NPs were identified in foods by Single-Particle mode Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry and Asymmetrical Flow Field-Flow Fractionation coupled to Multiangle Laser Light Scattering and Inductively-Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry. The determination of Ti, Si and Ag concentration in the initial food suspensions, after filtration and centrifugal ultrafiltration enabled to estimate the ionic and nanoparticles content. Si-containing particles can be present in cappuccino powder as large aggregates and Si- and Al-containing particles in hot chocolate. Ti-containing NPs (80-200 nm) were found in chewing gum and Ag NPs in silver pearls (50-150 nm) used for decoration pastry.

Abstract
Size characterization of silver nanoparticles with biomolecule corona (AgNP@BCs) and mass quantification of various silver species in organisms are essential for understanding the in vivo transformation of AgNPs. Herein, we report a versatile method that allows simultaneous determination of the size of AgNP@BCs and mass concentration of various silver species in rat liver. Both particulate and ionic silver were extracted in their original forms from the organs by alkaline digestion, and analyzed by size exclusion chromatography combined with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (SEC-ICP-MS). While the silver mass concentrations were quantified by ICP-MS with a detection limit of 0.1μg/g, the effective diameter of AgNP@BCs was determined based on the retention time in SEC separation with size discrimination of 0.6-3.3nm. More importantly, we found that the BC thickness of AgNP@BCs is core size independent, and a linear correlation was found between the effective diameter and core diameter of AgNP@BCs in extracted tissues, which was used to calibrate the core diameter with standard deviations in the range of 0.2-1.1nm. The utility of this strategy was demonstrated through application to rat livers in vivo. Our method is powerful for investigating the transformation mechanism of AgNPs in vivo.

Abstract
The main aim of this paper is to offer an objective and critical overview of the situation and trends in Analytical Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (AN&N), which is an important break point in the evolution of Analytical Chemistry in the XXI century as they were computers and instruments in the second half of XX century. The first part of this overview is devoted to provide a general approach to AN&N by describing the state of the art of this recent topic, being the importance of it also emphasized. Secondly, particular but very relevant trends in this topic are outlined: the analysis of the nanoworld, the so "third way" in AN&N, the growing importance of bioanalysis, the evaluation of both nanosensors and nanosorbents, the impact of AN&N in bioimaging and in nanotoxicological studies, as well as the crucial importance of reliability of the nanotechnological processes and results for solving real analytical problems in the frame of Social Responsibility (SR) of science and technology. Several reflections are included at the end of this overview written as a bird's eye view, which is not an easy task for experts in AN&N.

Abstract
Ingestion of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles from products such as agricultural chemicals, processed food, and nutritional supplements is nearly unavoidable. The gastrointestinal tract serves as a critical interface between the body and the external environment, and is the site of essential nutrient absorption. The goal of this study was to examine the effects of ingesting the 30 nm TiO2 nanoparticles with an in vitro cell culture model of the small intestinal epithelium, and to determine how acute or chronic exposure to nano-TiO2 influences intestinal barrier function, reactive oxygen species generation, proinflammatory signaling, nutrient absorption (iron, zinc, fatty acids), and brush border membrane enzyme function (intestinal alkaline phosphatase). A Caco-2/HT29-MTX cell culture model was exposed to physiologically relevant doses of TiO2 nanoparticles for acute (four hours) or chronic (five days) time periods. Exposure to TiO2 nanoparticles significantly decreased intestinal barrier function following chronic exposure. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, proinflammatory signaling, and intestinal alkaline phosphatase activity all showed increases in response to nano-TiO2. Iron, zinc, and fatty acid transport were significantly decreased following exposure to TiO2 nanoparticles. This is because nanoparticle exposure induced a decrease in absorptive microvilli in the intestinal epithelial cells. Nutrient transporter protein gene expression was also altered, suggesting that cells are working to regulate the transport mechanisms disturbed by nanoparticle ingestion. Overall, these results show that intestinal epithelial cells are affected at a functional level by physiologically relevant exposure to nanoparticles commonly ingested from food.
