Abstract
A simple, selective, and affordable dual fluorescence-colorimetric indicator for hydrogen sulfide was developed based on a complex of copper nanoparticles and N-doped carbon quantum dots (CuNPs/NCQDs). Real-time and visual freshness tracking of fish was done using a colorimetric indicator by incorporating CuNPs/NCQDs into agar hydrogel (AH-CuNPs/NCQDs). The fluorescence response of the CuNPs/NCQDs solution is quenched upon exposure to H2S. The field-emission scanning electron microscopy image of the AH-CuNPs/NCQDs film revealed a unified structure. The prepared indicator exhibited a good and irreversible response to H2S, with a LOD of 91.36 and a LOQ of 276.86 μM, based on the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) mechanism. The X-ray photoelectron spectrometer and Fourier transform infrared spectrometer results confirmed the formation of a CuS bond in the colorimetric indicator exposed to fish spoilage. The prepared indicator demonstrated good stability and remained unaffected by pH or other volatile compounds. Notably, there was a strong correlation between ΔΕ and fish freshness parameters (pH, TV-BN, and TVC). Light green, pale yellow, and dark yellow colors, respectively, indicated freshness, semi-freshness, and spoilage of fish during storage in the refrigerator. Overall, the prepared indicator can be effectively used for detecting spoilage in meat products as a highly sensitive freshness indicator.

Food Chem 2024; 460:140625. [PMID: 39089030 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.140625] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2024] [Revised: 07/22/2024] [Accepted: 07/23/2024] [Indexed: 08/03/2024]
Abstract
Tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) is easily overused or illegally added to edible oil and attracts a growing concern because of its cytotoxic, liver-damaging, and carcinogenic effects. Thus, a sensitive and intelligent point-of-care testing (iPOCT) method is developed to fulfill the on-site monitoring. This iPOCT method depended on a fluorescent immunochromatographic assay within 15 min. Under optimization, the limit of quantification (LOQ) was calculated as 0.03 μg mL-1. The iPOCT method provided a low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.02 μg mL-1, a wide linear range of 0.03-100 μg mL-1, and great selectivity. Recoveries by the spiking experiments ranged from 97.4% to 103.5% with relative standard deviations (RSDs) of 2.4%-4.9% in soybean, peanut, rapeseed, and corn oil samples. The results showed that the iPOCT method is highly consistent with the high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method.

Simple and rapid ionic liquid-based one-, two-, three-phase transition microextraction for efficient extraction of trace organic pollutants and elimination of lipid co-extractives from fatty food matrices. Food Chem 2024; 439:138165. [PMID: 38091782 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2023.138165] [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: 09/01/2023] [Revised: 10/29/2023] [Accepted: 12/05/2023] [Indexed: 01/10/2024]
Abstract
Extraction of trace contaminants from fatty food matrices is challenging in food analysis. Herein, a new ionic liquid-based one-, two-, three-phase transition microextraction (IL-OTTPTME) was proposed to efficiently extract trace targets while simultaneously eliminating lipid co-extractives. The method performance was illustrated through the determination of chrysoidine in fatty soybean products using high-performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet/visible detection. The strong interactions and infinite contact between IL and chrysoidine in the one-phase system ensured ultra-high extraction efficiency (∼100 %). Density functional theoretical calculations confirmed the presence of strong hydrogen bonding and π-π interactions. The formation of the three-phase system during extraction could completely eliminate lipid co-extractives. The IL-OTTPTME integrated extraction, enrichment and cleanup steps into one step, making it rapid and extremely easy to operate. The method had a wide linear range of 0.5-5000 μg/kg and low limit of detection (0.15 μg/kg). It also had satisfactory relative recoveries (95.1 %-104.0 %) and low RSDs (≤5.0 %, n = 5).

Abstract
Silver nanoparticles supported on metal-organic framework (ZIF-67)-derived Co3O4 nanostructures (Ag NPs/Co3O4) were synthesized via a facile in situ reduction strategy. The resulting materials exhibited pH-switchable peroxidase/catalase-like catalytic activity. Ag NP doping greatly enhanced the catalytic activity of Ag NPs/Co3O4 towards 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) oxidation and H2O2 decomposition which were 59 times (A652 of oxTMB) and 3 times (A240 of H2O2) higher than that of ZIF-67, respectively. Excitingly, thiophanate-methyl (TM) further enhanced the peroxidase-like activity of Ag NPs/Co3O4 nanozyme due to the formation of Ag(I) species in TM-Ag NPs/Co3O4 and generation of more radicals resulting from strong interaction between Ag NPs and TM. The TM-Ag NPs/Co3O4 nanozyme exhibited lower Km and higher Vmax values towards H2O2 when compared with Ag NPs/Co3O4 nanozyme. A simple, bioelement-free colorimetric TM detection method based on Ag NPs/Co3O4 nanozyme via analyte-enhanced sensing strategy was successfully established with high sensitivity and selectivity. Our study demonstrated that hybrid noble metal NPs/MOF-based nanozyme can be a class of promising artificial nanozyme in environmental and food safety applications.

Abstract
The discrimination and recognition of biological targets, such as proteins, cells, and bacteria, are of utmost importance in various fields of biological research and production. These include areas like biological medicine, clinical diagnosis, and microbiology analysis. In order to efficiently and cost-effectively identify a specific target from a wide range of possibilities, researchers have developed a technique called differential sensing. Unlike traditional "lock-and-key" sensors that rely on specific interactions between receptors and analytes, differential sensing makes use of cross-reactive receptors. These sensors offer less specificity but can cross-react with a wide range of analytes to produce a large amount of data. Many pattern recognition strategies have been developed and have shown promising results in identifying complex analytes. To create advanced sensor arrays for higher analysis efficiency and larger recognizing range, various nanomaterials have been utilized as sensing probes. These nanomaterials possess distinct molecular affinities, optical/electrical properties, and biological compatibility, and are conveniently functionalized. In this review, our focus is on recently reported optical sensor arrays that utilize nanomaterials to discriminate bioanalytes, including proteins, cells, and bacteria.

Abstract
This study used automatic control methods to prepare gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as the substrate and rhodamine 6G molecule as the probe to investigate the enhancement effect, stability, and consistency of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). The gold nanosols were prepared via automatic control using loop flow-reactor technology, and the synthesis of nanoparticles with different sizes was precisely controlled by optimizing the ratio of the solution required for the reaction between sodium citrate and chloroauric acid during the preparation process. The morphology, structure, and optical properties of the prepared AuNPs were investigated using field-emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and ultraviolet visible spectroscopy. Using the proposed method, AuNPs with average particle sizes of 72, 85, 93, and 103 nm were synthesized in a precisely controlled manner. The 93 nm particles exhibited good SERS activity for rhodamine 6G under 785 nm excitation with a detection limit of 2.5 × 10-10 M. The relative standard deviation of the SERS spectra synthesized multiple times was <3.5%, indicating their good sensitivity and reproducibility. The results showed that the AuNPs prepared by the automatic control of the loop-flow method have high sensitivity, stability, and reproducibility. Moreover, they exhibited notable potential for in situ measurement and quantitative analysis using SERS.

Abstract
Efficient, accurate and economical detection of pathogenic bacteria is crucial in ensuring food safety and preventing foodborne illnesses. In this study, a capillary electrophoresis coupled laser-induced fluorescence assay (CE-LIF) was developed for the detection of Escherichia coli (E. coli) by detecting its specific DNA. The CE-LIF was assisted by both online enrichment and offline amplification to improve the detection sensitivity of bacterial DNA. Here the online amplification was performed by large volume sample stacking (LVSS), while the offline amplification was nicking endonuclease signal amplification (NESA). Under the optimal experimental conditions, the detection limit of bacterial target DNA was 2.5 fM, and the conversion concentration of E. coli was 3 CFU · mL-1. The method had been applied to the detection of commercially available skim milk samples with good results, which proved that it could be used as an effective tool for food and environmental bacteria 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.

Abstract
Molecularly imprinted fluorescent carbon dots (MI-FCDs) find numerous applications in analytical chemistry due to their outstanding photoluminescent properties and having specific pockets for the recognition of target molecules. Despite significant advances, practical applications of MI-FCDs-based fluorescent sensors are still in their initial stages. Therefore, the topical developments in the synthesis, working, and application of MI-FCDs for sensing various target species (e.g., pharmaceuticals, biomolecules, pesticides, food additives, and miscellaneous species) in food and biological media have been highlighted. Moreover, a careful evaluation has been made to select the best methods based on their performance in terms of analytical parameters. To expand the horizons of this field, important challenges and future directions for developing MI-FCDs for practical use are also presented. This review will highlight important aspects of MI-FCDs-based fluorescent sensors for their applicability in food science, material science, environmental science, nanoscience, and biotechnology.

Abstract
Foodborne diseases caused by pathogens may threaten public health and the social economy. We demonstrated a method for identifying pathogenic Listeria monocytogenes using DNA logic operations. To achieve accurate species distinguishing, three specific sequences of Listeria monocytogenes genomic DNA were screened out and used as the feature sequences. Three complementary probes with tag modification were designed as sensing elements and exert affinity for magnetic beads, glucose oxidase (GOx), and horseradish peroxidase (HRP). To obtain a digital output (YES/NO answer) for rapid determination, a Boolean logic function was employed. Three sensing probes enabled the recognition of the target sequence (input) and the formation of a target DNA/probe hybrid. Through magnetic separation and affinity binding events, the target DNA/probes hybrid led to the construction of GOx/HRP enzyme cascade, which produced a visualized color signal (output) in the presence of substrates, glucose, and 3, 3', 5, 5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). A hybridization chain reaction (HCR) was coupled with this sensing scaffold to increase the binding of the enzyme cascade and amplify the output signal. The logical functional biosensor showed high selectivity of Listeria monocytogenes over other Listeria species. This sensing platform provides a simple, sensitive, and highly specific method for detecting Listeria monocytogenes.

Abstract
The olfactory system can detect and recognize tens of thousands of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at low concentrations in complex environments. Bioelectronic nose (B-EN), which mimics olfactory systems, is becoming an emerging sensing technology for identifying VOCs with sensitivity and specificity. B-ENs integrate electronic sensors with bioreceptors and pattern recognition technologies to enable medical diagnosis, public security, environmental monitoring, and food safety. However, there is currently no commercially available B-EN on the market. Apart from the high selectivity and sensitivity necessary for volatile organic compound analysis, commercial B-ENs must overcome issues impacting sensor operation and other problems associated with odor localization. The emergence of nanotechnology has provided a novel research concept for addressing these problems. In this work, the structure and operational mechanisms of biomimetic olfactory systems are discussed, with an emphasis on the development and immobilization of materials. Various biosensor applications and current developments are reviewed. Challenges and opportunities for fulfilling the potential of artificial olfactory biohybrid systems in fundamental and practical research are investigated in greater depth.

Abstract
Despite a large amount of money being spent on both food analyses and control measures, various food-borne illnesses associated with pathogens, toxins, pesticides, adulterants, colorants, and other contaminants pose a serious threat to human health, and thus food safety draws considerable attention in the modern pace of the world. The presence of various biogenic amines in processed food have been frequently considered as the primary quality parameter in order to check food freshness and spoilage of protein-rich food. Various conventional detection methods for detecting hazardous analytes including microscopy, nucleic acid, and immunoassay-based techniques have been employed; however, recently, array-based sensing strategies are becoming popular for the development of a highly accurate and precise analytical method. Array-based sensing is majorly facilitated by the advancements in multivariate analytical techniques as well as machine learning-based approaches. These techniques allow one to solve the typical problem associated with the interpretation of the complex response patterns generated in array-based strategies. Consequently, the machine learning-based neural networks enable the fast, robust, and accurate detection of analytes using sensor arrays. Thus, for commercial applications, most of the focus has shifted toward the development of analytical methods based on electrical and chemical sensor arrays. Therefore, herein, we briefly highlight and review the recently reported array-based sensor systems supported by machine learning and multivariate analytics to monitor food safety and quality in the field of food forensics.

Abstract
Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) solution certified reference materials (CRMs) have been widely utilized in the measurements of AFB1 contaminations in foods and agricultural products. It is of great importance to evaluate the stability of AFB1 solution CRMs in different matrices for their practical applications. In this study, the stability of AFB1 solution CRM was investigated and its degradation products under various conditions were elucidated using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry for the first time. Exposure to high temperatures and UV light irradiation accelerated the degradation of AFB1 solution significantly, and the degradation products were largely dependent on the solvents. Two degradation pathways were proposed based on the degradation products. The addition reaction, oxidation reaction, and modification of the methoxy group are the major processes involved in the degradation of the AFB1 solution. The results of this study indicate that the property value of the acetonitrile solution of AFB1 can be well retained when it is stored at temperatures lower than 60 °C, and the exposure to UV light irradiation is avoided.

Abstract
Global crop and food contamination with mycotoxins are one of the primary worldwide concerns, while there are several restrictions regarding approaching conventional physical and chemical mycotoxins decontamination methods due to nutrition loss, sensory attribute reduction in foods, chemical residual, inconvenient operation, high cost of equipment, and high energy consumption of some methods. In this regard, the overarching challenges of mycotoxin contamination in food and food crops require the development of biological decontamination strategies. Using certain lactic acid bacteria (LAB) as generally recognized safe (GRAS) compounds is one of the most effective alternatives due to their potential to release antifungal metabolites against various fungal factors species. This review highlights the potential applications of LAB as biodetoxificant agents and summarizes their decontamination activities against Fusarium growth and Fusarium mycotoxins released into food/feed. Firstly, the occurrence of Fusarium and the instrumental and bioanalytical methods for the analysis of mycotoxins were in-depth discussed. Upgraded knowledge on the biosynthesis pathway of mycotoxins produced by Fusarium offers new insightful ideas clarifying the function of these secondary metabolites. Moreover, the characterization of LAB metabolites and their impact on the decontamination of the mycotoxin from Fusarium, besides the main mechanisms of mycotoxin decontamination, are covered. While the thematic growth inhibition of Fusarium and decontamination of their mycotoxin by LAB is very complex, approaching certain lactic acid bacteria (LAB) is worth deeper investigations.

Abstract
An electrical resistance-based particle counter (ERPC) with simple operation and high resolution has proved to be a promising biosensing toolkit, whereas amplification-free ERPC biosensors are incapable of analyzing trace small molecules due to their relatively low sensitivity. In this work, click chemistry-mediated particle counting sensing of small-molecule hazards in food samples with high sensitivity was developed. In this strategy, unbound alkyne-functionalized polystyrene microspheres were collected by magnetic separation from the copper-ion-mediated click reaction between alkyne-functionalized polystyrene microspheres and azido-functionalized magnetic beads, which could be used as signal probes for the readout. This click chemistry-mediated ERPC biosensor converts the detection of targets to the quantification of copper ions or ascorbic acid by performing competitive immunoassay-based coordination chemistry and enzymatic reaction, respectively. The sensitivity of the ERPC biosensor has been improved by an order of magnitude due to the signal amplification effects of click chemistry, coordination adsorption, and enzyme catalysis. Furthermore, because of the efficient separation and enrichment of immunomagnetic beads and the robustness of click chemistry, the interference from food matrixes and immunoassay is effectively reduced, and thus, our strategy is exceedingly suitable for detecting trace targets in complex samples.

Abstract
The detection of chemicals is a fundamental issue of modern civilisation, however existing methods do not always achieve the desired sensitivity. Preconcentrators, which are devices that allow increasing the concentration of the intended analyte via e.g., adsorption/desorption, are one of the solutions for increasing the sensitivity of chemical detection. The increased detection sensitivity granted by preconcentration can be used to miniaturise detection instruments, granting them portability. The primary goal of this review is to report on and briefly explain the most relevant recent developments related to the design and applications of preconcentrators. The key design elements of preconcentrators and the emerging area of liquid-phase preconcentrators are briefly discussed, with the most significant applications of these devices being highlighted.

Abstract
The antibiotic tetracycline (Tc) is a major contaminant in food and water, with adverse effects on both ecosystems and human health. The development of novel sensors for tetracycline detection is of great importance. In this work, we develop a novel heteroatom-free conjugated tetraphenylethylene polymer (TPE-CMP) fluorescence sensor for the detection of tetracycline. In the presence of Tc, the emission fluorescence of TPE-CMP was quenched by the photoinduced electron transfer mechanism to achieve high sensitivity. The polymers can detect tetracycline at a concentration of 0-100 μg/mL with a good linear correlation (0.99), and the limit of detection (LOD) is 1.23 μg/mL. Furthermore, TPE-CMP has excellent selectivity in detecting Tc in the presence of various anti-interference analytes, including ions and antibiotics. In addition, the practical feasibilities of TPE-CMP for Tc sensing were further investigated in milk, urine and wastewater samples with satisfactory recoveries (from 94.96% to 112.53% for milk, from 96.41% to 99.31% for urine and from 98.54% to 100.52% for wastewater). We have designed and synthesized TPE-CMP based on heteroatom-free for the specific fluorescence detection of tetracycline, expanding the range of fluorescence detection sensors and offering great promise for practical applications.

Abstract
Immunochromatography testing strips (ICTs) promise to become the point-of-care test format for early diagnosis due to their convenience, low cost, and simplification. However, the insufficient signal intensity and limited sensitivity of this format hamper their application. Herein, we overcame these limitations by integrating rod-like ferric oxyhydroxide (β-FeOOH) nanoparticles with ICTs. By varying the concentration of PEI, a one-pot, mild-temperature hydrolysis method was adapted for the synthesis and morphology regulation of β-FeOOH nanorod. Due to the excellent enzyme-like catalytic activity toward peroxidase substrates (TMB) in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), the β-FeOOH nanorod in ICTs served as a signal generator and the nanozyme for signal amplification. The proof-of-concept work was performed for the detection of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). A two fold improvement of detection sensitivity was achieved compared to the sensitivity of conventional Au NPs-based ICTs. These results show that β-FeOOH-based ICT has a potential application in POCT detection in clinical diagnostics.

Abstract
With the increasing concerns about the environment and food safety, it is necessary to develop portable, low-cost, and high-throughput biosensors for the simultaneous detection of multiple contaminates. However, traditional photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensors lack the ability of multiplexed assays due to the inherent mechanism limitation. Also, specialized instruments are necessary for most PEC biosensors. In this work, a portable high-throughput sensor chip has been successfully developed. By introducing electrochromic materials, the detection is based on color change instead of electric signals, which reduces the limitation of instruments. This designed sensor chip is composed of three parallel sensing channels fabricated by laser etching. Each channel is modified with TiO2/3D-g-C3N4 composites with excellent PEC activity and electrochromic material Prussian blue (PB). Under light illumination, photoinduced electrons generated by TiO2/3D-g-C3N4 are injected into PB, and blue PB is reduced to colorless Prussian white. Three organic contaminates, ochratoxin A, lincomycin, and edifenphos, can be simultaneously detected because the binding of these molecules with aptamers affects the electron transfer and the corresponding color changes. This portable and high-throughput sensor chip provides a convenient choice for multiplexed assays with good sensitivity and accuracy.

Abstract
Food is a basic necessity for life, growth, survival, and maintaining a proper body function. Rising food demand leads both producers and consumers to search for alternative food sources with high nutritional value. However, food products may never be completely safe. The oxidation reaction may alter both the physicochemical and immunological properties of food products. Maillard and caramelization nonenzymatic browning reactions can play a pivotal role in food acceptance through the ways they influence quality factors such as flavor, color, texture, nutritional value, protein functionality, and digestibility. There is a multitude of adulterated foods that portray adverse risks to the human condition. To maintain food safety, the packaging material is used to preserve the quality and freshness of food products. Food safety is jeopardized by plenty of pathogens by the consumption of adulterated food resulting in multiple foodborne illnesses. Though different analytical tools are used in the analysis of food products, yet, adulterated food has repercussions for the community and is a growing issue that adversely impairs human health and well-being. Thus, pathogenic agents' rapid and effective identification is vital for food safety and security to avoid foodborne illness. This review highlights the various analytical techniques used in the analysis of food products, food structure, and quality of food along with chemical reactions in food processing. Moreover, we have also discussed the effect on health due to the consumption of adulterated food and focused on the importance of food safety, including the biodegradable packaging material.

Abstract
The detection of multiple pesticides in food and environment is of great importance for human health and safety. In this study, the DNA backbone structure and Ag@Au nanoparticles (NPs) to construct a nano-tetrahedron with the help of the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) effect by controlling the formation of SERS hotspots and subsequently realized the simultaneous detection of multiple pesticides. The DNA aptamers corresponding to the three pesticides of profenofos, acetamiprid and carbendazim were embedded into the three edges of the DNA tetrahedral skeleton, and the tetrahedral corners were connected to modify the Ag@Au NPs with different Raman signaling molecules. When aptamers recognize the related pesticides, the DNA backbone is deformed. Then Ag@Au NPs approach to each other with SERS hotspots formed and the intensity of the Raman signal increased, realizing the detection of the pesticide content. The biosensor constructed from the SERS substrate with higher sensitivity and lower detection limit (profenofos: 0.0021 ng mL-1; acetamiprid: 0.0046 ng mL-1; carbendazim: 0.0061 ng mL-1). The practicability of this proposed method was verified by adding the recovery rate detection and the accuracy of the method was examined by the analysis of the HPLC-MS method. The proposed SERS biosensor could distinguish and detect three pesticides in food and environmental samples with high sensitivity and low detection limit that can be used in practical applications.

Abstract
Safety and quality are key issues for the food industry. Consequently, there is growing demand to preserve the food chain and products against substances toxic, harmful to human health, such as contaminants, allergens, toxins, or pathogens. For this reason, it is mandatory to develop highly sensitive, reliable, rapid, and cost-effective sensing systems/devices, such as electrochemical sensors/biosensors. Generally, conventional techniques are limited by long analyses, expensive and complex procedures, and skilled personnel. Therefore, developing performant electrochemical biosensors can significantly support the screening of food chains and products. Here, we report some of the recent developments in this area and analyze the contributions produced by electrochemical biosensors in food screening and their challenges.

Abstract
In current food safety monitoring, lateral flow immunoassays (LFIAs) are widely used for rapid food contaminant screening. Recent advances include smartphone readouts, offering semi-quantitative analysis of LFIAs with time, location, and data transfer in case of on-site testing. Following the screening, the next step in the EU regulations is confirmation by, e.g., liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). In this work, using direct analysis in real time ambient ionization and triple quadrupole MS/MS (DART-QqQ-MS/MS), we achieved rapid confirmation of the identity of the substance(s) causing the LFIA result. In the workflow proposed, an individual performs the (on-site) smartphone LFIA screening, and when the result is suspect, an identification LFIA (ID-LFIA) strip is developed with the same sample extract. The ID-LFIA can be dissociated and rapidly analyzed in a control laboratory with DART-QqQ-MS/MS. The ID-LFIA consists of multiple lines of monoclonal antibodies against the mycotoxin deoxynivalenol, acting as a bioaffinity trap. The ID-LFIA/DART-QqQ-MS/MS approach has been developed and validated, along with the screening smartphone LFIA, and has demonstrated its applicability by analyzing incurred and spiked samples. The developed approach has been critically compared with our previous direct electrospray ionization MS method and was found to provide highly complementary information on the total deoxynivalenol contamination in the sample.
