Abstract
The development of dual-mode strategies with superior sensitivity and accuracy have garnered increasing attention for researchers in Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) analysis. Herein, a colorimetric-electrochemiluminescence (ECL) dual-mode biosensor was constructed for onsite and ultrasensitive determination of AFB1. The multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were integrated with the ZnO metal organic frameworks (MOFs) to accelerate the electron transfer and boost the ECL intensity of g-C3N4 nanoemitters. Through the aptamer-based DNA sandwich assay, the CuO@CuPt nanocomposites were introduced onto the electrode and acted as the dual functional signal nanoprobes. Due to the good spectrum overlap between the CuO@CuPt nanoprobes and g-C3N4 nanosheets, ECL signal could be efficiently quenched. Additionally, the CuO@CuPt nanoprobes show superior catalytic properties towards the TMB and H2O2 colorimetric reactions, and an obvious color alteration from colorless to blue can be observed using the smartphone. Under optimized conditions, a sensitive and accurate dual-mode analysis of the AFB1 was accomplished with the colorimetric detection limit of 3.26 fg/mL and ECL detection limit of 0.971 fg/mL (S/N = 3). This study combines innovative nanomaterial properties of ZnO@MWCNTs, g-C3N4 and CuO@CuPt for ultrasensitive dual-mode detection, which offers new opportunities for the innovative engineering of the dual-mode sensors and demonstrates significant potential in food safety analysis.

Abstract
Multitarget assay has always been a hot topic in electrochemiluminescence (ECL) methods. Herein, a "on-off-on" ECL aptasensor was developed for the ultrasensitive and sequential detection of possible biological warfare agents, deoxynivalenol (DON) and abrin (ABR). As a luminophore, polymer dots (Pdots) with aggregation-induced emission exhibit high ECL efficiency in the aptasensor, i.e., the signal "on" state. The DON assays mainly depend on ECL quenching due to the efficient quenching effect between ferrocene-H2-ferrocene (Fc-H2-Fc) and Pdots, i.e., the signal "off" state. When the aptasensor is incubated with the oligonucleotide sequence S2 to replace Fc-H2-Fc, obvious ECL recovery occurs, i.e., the signal "on" state, which can be used to sequentially detect ABR. The limit of detection (LOD) for DON is 0.73 fg·mL-1 in the range of 5.0 to 50 ng·mL-1; and the LOD for ABR is ∼0.38 pg·mL-1 in the range of 1.25 pg·mL-1 to 1.25 μg·mL-1. The as-designed ECL aptasensor exhibits good stability and reproducibility, high specificity, and favorable practicality. Therefore, this work provides a new approach for assays of DON and ABR in food safety and can be used as a model to design an ultrasensitive ECL biosensor for multitarget detection.

Abstract
The development of a simple, rapid, and sensitive technology for the simultaneous detection of mycotoxins is of great significance in ensuring the safety of foods and drugs. Herein, a fluorescence aptasensor with high sensitivity and reproducibility for the simultaneous detection of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and ochratoxin A (OTA) was developed. In this sensing system, AFB1 and OTA aptamers were co-immobilized on the surface of magnetic beads (MBs) to form a Y-shaped structure through the principle of complementary base pairing, and were used as recognition probes to specifically capture the target. Activators regenerated by electron transfer for atom transfer radical polymerization (ARGET ATRP) was used as a signal amplification strategy to improve the sensitivity. The initiator modified at the end of an antibody initiates the ARGET ATRP reaction. Different fluorescence signals were designed to achieve the simultaneous detection of OTA and AFB1 with limits of 426.18 and 79.55 fg mL-1 for AFB1 and OTA, respectively. In addition, experiments were conducted on three types of samples, and the recoveries of the two mycotoxins ranged from 87.30% to 109.50%, with relative standard deviations ranging from 0.50% to 4.92% under reproducible conditions. The results suggest that the developed aptasensor is sufficient to meet the different regulatory requirements of the two mycotoxins in food and drug safety and shows great potential.

Abstract
Alternaria toxins (ATs) are produced from Alternaria species that result in crop losses and harmful impacts on human health. A stable isotope dilution LC-MS/MS method was established to quantify four ATs in 15 food commodities: alternariol (AOH), alternariol monomethyl ether (AME), tentoxin (TEN), and tenuazonic acid (TeA). Based on systematically optimization of detection conditions and pre-processing steps, the limits of detection and limits of quantification of the four ATs ranged from 0.1 to 10 μg/kg and 0.2 to 30 μg/kg, respectively. The results showed that the recoveries of the four ATs were 72.0%-119.1%. The intra-precision and inter-precision ranged from 0.7% to 11.1% and 1.1% to 13.1%, respectively. The method was successfully applied to the determination of four ATs in 35 food samples, suggesting that this method could provide meaningful occurrence data to support the assessment of emerging ATs in food commodities.

Abstract
Mycotoxins are a heterogeneous group of toxins produced by fungi that can grow in staple crops (e.g., maize, cereals), resulting in health risks due to widespread exposure from human consumption and inhalation. Dried blood spot (DBS), dried serum spot (DSS), and volumetric tip microsampling (VTS) assays were developed and validated for several important mycotoxins. This review summarizes studies that have developed these assays to monitor mycotoxin exposures in human biological samples and highlights future directions to facilitate minimally invasive sampling techniques as global public health tools. A systematic search of PubMed (MEDLINE), Embase (Elsevier), and CINAHL (EBSCO) was conducted. Key assay performance metrics were extracted to provide a critical review of the available methods. This search identified 11 published reports related to measuring mycotoxins (ochratoxins, aflatoxins, and fumonisins) using DBS/DSS and VTS assays. Multimycotoxin assays adapted for DBS/DSS and VTS have undergone sufficient laboratory validation for applications in large-scale population health and human biomonitoring studies. Future work should expand the number of mycotoxins that can be measured in multimycotoxin assays, continue to improve multimycotoxin assay sensitivities of several biomarkers with low detection rates, and validate multimycotoxin assays across diverse populations with varying exposure levels. Validated low-cost and ultrasensitive minimally invasive sampling methods should be deployed in human biomonitoring and public health surveillance studies to guide policy interventions to reduce inequities in global mycotoxin exposures.

Abstract
Gold clusters with intriguing chemical/physical properties have great promise in applications such as sensing and bio-imaging due to their fascinating photoluminescence character. In this study, an immunofluorescence sensor based on levonorgestrel protected atomically precise Au8 nanocluster (Au8NC) for aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) detection was fabricated due to its strong carcinogenic and mutagenic effect on humans. The prepared polymer-Au8NC nanospheres displayed bright luminescence and good stability in aqueous solution. The obtained AFB1 fluorescent strip immunosensor achieved quantitative point-of-care detection of AFB1 in less than 15 min, with high selectivity and detection limits down to 0.27 ng/mL. In addition, the recovery rates of AFB1 from tea soup ranged from 96% to 105% with relative standard deviations less than 10%. This work not only realized high-sensitively fluorescent sensing for AFB1, but also expanded the bio-applications of atomic-precise metal clusters.

Abstract
In this study, we demonstrated a novel semi-automated in-syringe-based coagulant-assisted liquid-liquid microextraction (IS-CGA-LLME) as fast mycotoxin extraction (FaMEx) technique coupled with ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography connected with a tandem-mass spectrometer (UHPLC-MS/MS) for the quantification of mycotoxin (Ochratoxin A, OT-A) in coffee and tea samples. IS-CGA-LLME is a three-step extraction process that includes extraction of OT-A from sample matrix using low-volume solvent extraction, then the extractant was cleaned-up using a coagulation process, and finally, the decolorized/matrix removed sample solution was processed for LLME for target analyte's pre-concentration. The final extractant was analyzed using UHPLC-MS/MS for OT-A quantification. Under the optimized experimental conditions, highly sensitive detection and quantification limits were obtained at 0.001 and 0.003 ng g-1 for OT-A with excellent extraction recovery (93-111%) and precision <10%. These results proved that the developed method is a simple, highly sensitive, semi-automated, low-matrix effect and efficient procedure for the determination of mycotoxins in food samples.

Abstract
Mycotoxin contamination has become a challenge in the field of food safety testing, given the increasing emphasis on food safety in recent years. Mycotoxins are widely distributed, in heavily polluted areas. Food contamination with these toxins is difficult to prevent and control. Mycotoxins, as are small-molecule toxic metabolites produced by several species belonging to the genera Aspergillus, Fusarium, and Penicillium growing in food. They are considered teratogenic, carcinogenic, and mutagenic to humans and animals. Food systems are often simultaneously contaminated with multiple mycotoxins. Due to the additive or synergistic toxicological effects caused by the co-existence of multiple mycotoxins, their individual detection requires reliable, accurate, and high-throughput techniques. Currently available, methods for the detection of multiple mycotoxins are mainly based on chromatography, spectroscopy (colorimetry, fluorescence, and surface-enhanced Raman scattering), and electrochemistry. This review provides a comprehensive overview of advances in the multiple detection methods of mycotoxins during the recent 5 years. The principles and features of these techniques are described. The practical applications and challenges associated with assays for multiple detection methods of mycotoxins are summarized. The potential for future development and application is discussed in an effort, to provide standards of references for further research.

Abstract
A dual-target aptamer functionalized probes (DTAFP) was applied for the detection of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and zearalenone (ZEN) simultaneously, which has not been reported. Meanwhile, two functional materials for signal amplification of the DTAFP were synthesized: 1) a three-dimensional molybdenum disulfide-reduced graphene oxide (MoS2-rGO) as a favorable loading interface; 2) a double-probes gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) modified by Thionin (Thi) and 6-(Ferrocenyl) hexanethiol (FC6S) as distinguishable and non-interfering signals. Mycotoxins on the electrode surface release into solution under the function of the DTAFP, leading a reduction of the differential peak impulse in signal response. Under the optimum conditions, the aptasensor exhibited a detection range of 1.0 pg mL−1–100 ng mL−1 for AFB1 and ZEN, with no observable cross reactivity. In addition, the aptasensor performed excellent stability, reproducibility, specificity, and favorable recovery in the detection of edible oil. This work demonstrated a novel method for the construction of a simple, rapid, and sensitive aptasensor in the detection of multiple mycotoxins simultaneously.

Abstract
Mycotoxins are fungi-produced secondary metabolites that can contaminate many foods eaten by humans and animals. Deoxynivalenol (DON), which is formed by Fusarium, is one of the most common occurring predominantly in cereal grains and thus poses a significant health risk. When DON is ingested, it can cause both acute and chronic toxicity. Acute signs include abdominal pain, anorexia, diarrhea, increased salivation, vomiting, and malaise. The most common effects of chronic DON exposure include changes in dietary efficacy, weight loss, and anorexia. This review provides a succinct overview of various sources, biosynthetic mechanisms, and genes governing DON production, along with its consequences on human and animal health. It also covers the effect of environmental factors on its production with potential detection, management, and control strategies.

Abstract
Patulin and Trichothecene as the main groups of mycotoxins in significant quantities can cause health risks from allergic reactions to death on both humans and animals. Accordingly, rapid and highly sensitive determination of these toxics agents is of great importance. This review starts with a comprehensive outlook regarding the characteristics, occurrence and toxic effects of Patulin and Trichothecene. In the following, numerous clinical and analytical approaches have been extensively discussed. The main emphasis of this review is placed on the utilization of novel nanomaterial based electrochemical sensing/biosensing tools for highly sensitive determination of Patulin and Trichothecene. Furthermore, a detailed and comprehensive comparison has been performed between clinical, analytical and sensing methods. Subsequently, the nanomaterial based electrochemical sensing platforms have been approved as reliable tools for on-site analysis of Patulin and Trichothecene in food processing and manufacturing industries. Different nanomaterials in improving the performance of detecting assays were investigated and have various benefits toward clinical and analytical methods. This paper would address the limitations in the current developments as well as the future challenges involved in the successful construction of sensing approaches with the functionalized nanomaterials and also allow exploring into core-research works regarding this area.

Hybrid MoS 2/g-C 3N 4-assisted LDI mass spectrometry for rapid detection of small molecules and polyethylene glycols and direct determination of uric acid in complicated biological samples. Mikrochim Acta 2021; 188:5. [PMID: 33389155 DOI: 10.1007/s00604-020-04675-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/10/2020] [Accepted: 11/30/2020] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
A novel matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometric method (MALDI-TOF MS) for determination of highly sensitive small molecular compounds was developed based on molybdenum disulfide nanosheets hybridized with ultrathin graphitic carbon nitride (MoS2/g-C3N4) as the matrix. With this approach, the synergistic effects of MoS2 and g-C3N4 enhance the UV absorption of MoS2/g-C3N4, increase both desorption and ionization efficiency in LDI MS, and induce higher signal-to-noise ratio of analytes when compared with the bare MoS2 and g-C3N4 matrix in the determination of amino acids, antibiotics, neutral oligosaccharides, uric acid, and polyethylene glycols (PEGs). The detection limits of these small molecular compounds are in the ranges 0.1 to 10 μg mL-1, 1*10-3 to 1.0 μg mL-1, 1.0 to 10 μg mL-1, and 2*10-4 μg mL-1, respectively, and the polydispersity index of these PEGs is less than 1.02. Moreover, high salt tolera`nce and homogeneous deposition on the spot results in good reproducibility. The relative standard deviations (RSDs) of shot-to-shot and spot-to-spot (n = 15) of these compounds are less than 10.1% and 12.5%, respectively. With MoS2/g-C3N4, the uric acid in complicated biological samples can be directly determined in combination with LDI-TOF MS. We synthesized MoS2/g-C3N4 nanohybrid as an efficient matrix for MALDI-TOF MS analysis of small molecules as well as quantitative detection of uric acid in human urine.
