Electrochemiluminescence aptasensing method for ultrasensitive determination of lipopolysaccharide based on CRISPR-Cas12a accessory cleavage activity. Talanta 2024; 272:125828. [PMID: 38428132 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.125828] [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: 10/26/2023] [Revised: 02/17/2024] [Accepted: 02/22/2024] [Indexed: 03/03/2024]
Abstract
In this study, an ultrasensitive electrochemiluminescence (ECL) aptasensing method was developed for lipopolysaccharide (LPS) determination based on CRISPR-Cas12a accessory cleavage activity. Tris (2,2'-bipyridine) dichlororuthenium (II) (Ru(bpy)32+) was adsorbed on the surface of a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) coated with a mixture of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and Nafion film via electrostatic interaction. The obtained ECL platform (Ru(bpy)32+/AuNP/Nafion/GCE) exhibited strong ECL emission. Thiol-functionalized single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) was modified with a ferrocenyl (Fc) group and autonomously assembled on the ECL platform of Ru(bpy)32+/AuNP/Nafion/GCE via thiol-gold bonding, resulting in the quenching of ECL emission. After hybridization of the LPS aptamer strand (AS) with its partial complementary strand (CS), the formed double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) could activate CRISPR-Cas12a to indiscriminately cleave ssDNA-Fc on the surface of Ru(bpy)32+/AuNP/Nafion/GCE, resulting in recovery of the ECL intensity of Ru(bpy)32+ due to the increasing distance between Fc and the electrode surface. The combination of LPS and AS suppressed the formation of dsDNA, inhibited the activation of CRISPR-Cas12a, and prevented further cleavage of ssDNA-Fc. This mechanism aided in upholding the integrity of ssDNA-Fc on the surface of the electrode and was combined with ECL quenching induced by the target. The ECL intensity decreased linearly as the concentration of LPS increased from 1 to 50,000 pg/mL and followed a logarithmic relationship. This method exhibited a remarkably low detection limit of 0.24 pg/mL, which meets the requirement for low-concentration detection of LPS in the human body. The proposed method demonstrates the capacity of CRISPR-Cas12a to perform non-specific cutting of single-stranded DNA and transform the resultant cutting substances into changes in the ECL signal. By amalgamating this approach with the distinct identification abilities of LPS and its aptamers, a simple, responsive, and discriminatory LPS assay was established that holds immense significance for clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) bacteria pose a significant global health threat, and bacteria that produce New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM) are particularly concerning due to their resistance to most β-lactam antibiotics, including carbapenems. The emergence and spread of NDM-producing genes in food-producing animals highlight the need for a fast and accurate method for detecting AMR bacteria. We therefore propose a PCR-coupled CRISPR/Cas12a-based fluorescence assay that can detect NDM-producing genes (blaNDM) in bacteria. Thanks to its designed gRNA, this CRISPR/Cas12a system was able to simultaneously cleave PCR amplicons and ssDNA-FQ reporters, generating fluorescence signals. Our method was found to be highly specific when tested against other foodborne pathogens that do not carry blaNDM and also demonstrated an excellent capability to distinguish single-nucleotide polymorphism. In the case of blaNDM-1 carrying E. coli, the assay performed exceptionally well, with a detection limit of 2.7 × 100 CFU/mL: 100 times better than conventional PCR with gel electrophoresis. Moreover, the developed assay detected AMR bacteria in food samples and exhibited enhanced performance compared to previously published real-time PCR assays. Thus, this novel PCR-coupled CRISPR/Cas12a-based fluorescence assay has considerable potential to improve current approaches to AMR gene detection and thereby contribute to mitigating the global threat of AMR.

Abstract
Rapid and accurate detection of the zoonotic nematode Anisakis is poised to control its epidemic. The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas-associated assay shows great potential in the detection of pathogenic microorganisms. The one-tube method integrated the CRISPR system with the recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) system to avoid the risk of aerosol pollution; however, it suffers from low sensitivity due to the incompatibility of the two systems and additional manual operations. Therefore, in the present study, the agarose hydrogel boosted one-tube RPA-CRISPR/Cas12a assay was constructed by adding the CRISPR system to the agarose hydrogel, which avoided the initially low amplification efficiency of RPA caused by the cleavage of Cas12a and achieved reaction continuity. The sensitivity was 10-fold higher than that of the one-tube RPA-CRISPR/Cas12a system. This method was used for Anisakis detection within 80 min from the sample to result, achieving point-of-care testing (POCT) through a smartphone and a portable device. This study provided a novel toolbox for POCT with significant application value in preventing Anisakis infection.

Abstract
Acidovorax citrulli is the main pathogen causing bacterial fruit blotch, which seriously threatens the global watermelon industry. At present, rapid, sensitive, and low-cost detection methods are urgently needed. The established CRISPR/LbCas12a visual detection method can specifically detect A. citrulli and does not cross-react with other pathogenic bacteria such as Erwinia tracheiphila, Pseudomonas syringae, and Xanthomonas campestris. The sensitivity of this method for genomic DNA detection is as low as 0.7 copies/μL, which is higher than conventional PCR and real-time PCR. In addition, this method only takes 2.5 h from DNA extraction to quantitative detection and does not require complex operation and sample treatment. Additionally, the technique was applied to test real watermelon seed samples for A. citrulli, and the results were contrasted with those of real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR and conventional PCR. The high sensitivity and specificity have broad application prospects in the rapid detection of bacterial fruit blotch bacterial pathogens of watermelon.IMPORTANCEBacterial fruit blotch, Acidovorax citrulli, is an important seed-borne bacterial disease of watermelon, melon, and other cucurbits. The lack of rapid, sensitive, and reliable pathogen detection methods has hampered research on fruit spot disease prevention and control. Here, we demonstrate the CRISPR/Cas12a system to analyze aspects of the specificity and sensitivity of A. citrulli and to test actual watermelon seed samples. The results showed that the CRISPR/Cas12a-based free-amplification method for detecting bacterial fruit blotch pathogens of watermelons was specific for A. citrulli target genes and 100-fold more sensitive than conventional PCR with quantitative real-time PCR. This method provides a new technical tool for the detection of A. citrulli.

Abstract
Each organism has a unique sequence of nitrogenous bases in in the form of DNA or RNA which distinguish them from other organisms. This characteristic makes nucleic acid-based detection extremely selective and compare to other molecular techniques. In recent years, several nucleic acid-based detection technology methods have been developed, one of which is the electrochemical biosensor. Electrochemical biosensors are known to have high sensitivity and accuracy. In addition, the ease of miniaturization of this electrochemical technique has garnered interest from many researchers. On the other hand, the CRISPR/Cas12 method has been widely used in detecting nucleic acids due to its highly selective nature. The CRISPR/Cas12 method is also reported to increase the sensitivity of electrochemical biosensors through the utilization of modified electrodes. The electrodes can be modified according to detection needs so that the biosensor's performance can be improved. This review discusses the application of CRISPR/Cas12-based electrochemical biosensors, as well as various electrode modifications that have been successfully used to improve the performance of these biosensors in the clinical and food monitoring fields.

Abstract
Collagenous products are making their way into consumer markets such as foods, nutraceuticals, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals increasingly. Collagen in a large family of proteins is ubiquitous in metazoan. The most effective way to identify biological samples including collagen is DNA technology indisputably. However, the DNA content of collagen mostly derived from connective tissue is relatively less, and commercial collagen products are usually subjected to some harsh treatments in the production process, which makes DNA damage more serious, thus tracing their origin becomes a huge challenge. At present, DNA enrichment mainly relies on silica based centrifugal columns after extraction by classical phenol chloroform method. For improving the amplification of DNA fragments, small amplicons are designed based on more stable mitochondrial genes, such as cytochrome b gene (cytb). In addition to conventional PCR for DNA amplification, some new PCR techniques have also been developed, such as DNA barcoding techniques, PCR-Southern hybridization and fluorescent PCR. These PCR techniques have their pros and cons, and are mainly used in the identification of gelatin at present. The development of a complete set of DNA authentication is of great significance for the control of collagen products quality and will contribute to sustainable development of collagen industry.

Abstract
Foodborne microbial contamination (FMC) is the leading cause of food poisoning and foodborne illness. The foodborne microbial detection methods based on isothermal amplification have high sensitivity and short detection time, and functional nucleic acids (FNAs) could extend the detectable object of isothermal amplification to mycotoxins. Therefore, the strategy of FNAs-mediated isothermal amplification has been emergingly applied in biosensors for foodborne microbial contaminants detection, making biosensors more sensitive with lower cost and less dependent on nanomaterials for signal output. Here, the mechanism of six isothermal amplification technologies and their application in detecting FMC is firstly introduced. Then the strategy of FNAs-mediated isothermal amplification is systematically discussed from perspectives of FNAs' versatility including recognition elements (Aptamer, DNAzyme), programming tools (DNA tweezer, DNA walker and CRISPR-Cas) and signal units (G-quadruplex, FNAs-based nanomaterials). Finally, challenges and prospects are presented in terms of addressing the issue of nonspecific amplification reaction, developing better FNAs-based sensing elements and eliminating food matrix effects.

Abstract
We propose a CRISPR/Cas12a-mediated recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) detection method that combines RPA with Cas12a cleavage for the detection of halal food adulteration, which is of global concern, particularly for Muslim consumers. We optimized the reagent concentrations for the Cas12a cleavage steps and designed and screened gRNA targeting a conserved area of the mitochondrial cytochrome C oxidase subunit I (COX1) gene. This procedure successfully detected the presence of porcine components as low as 5 pg/μL in the linear range of 5-1000 pg/μL. The assay's detection limit was 500 times lower than CRISPR-based approaches that exclude a preamplification step, allowing the detection of trace porcine DNA in food samples. The assay additionally showed no cross-reaction with nontarget species. Therefore, this detection platform shows tremendous potential as a method for the quick, sensitive, and specific detection of porcine-derived components.

Abstract
Effective regulation of gene-edited products and resolution of public concerns are the prerequisites for the industrialization of gene-edited crops and their derived foods. CRISPR-associated protein, the core element of the CRISPR system, requires to be regulated. Thus, there is an urgent need to establish qualitative and quantitative detection methods for the Cas gene. In the present study, the primers and probes were designed and screened for Cas12a (Cpf1), which is the most commonly used target site in gene editing; we performed PCR system optimization, determined the optimal primer concentration and annealing temperature, and established qualitative PCR and quantitative PCR (qPCR) assays for detecting Cpf1 in gene editing by specificity and sensitivity tests. In specificity testing, qualitative PCR and qPCR methods could 100% detect samples containing Cpf1 DNA, while the detection rate of other samples without Cpf1 was 0%. In the assay sensitivity test, the limit of detection of qualitative PCR was 0.1% (approximately 44 copies), and the limit of detection of the qPCR method was 14 copies. In the stability test, both the qualitative PCR and qPCR methods were repeated 60 times at their corresponding lowest detection limit concentrations, and the results were positive. Thus, the qualitative and quantitative assays for Cpf1 are specific, sensitive, and stable. The method provides technical support for the effective monitoring of gene-edited products and their derived foods in the future.

Abstract
Microorganisms can determine the flavor and quality of fermented food, such as Baijiu, which is produced via Daqu fermentation. Therefore, monitoring key microorganisms during fermentation is important for ensuring high-quality fermented food. Here, we report a single-nucleotide resolved nucleic acid assay based on the CRISPR/Cas12 system, enabling the quantification of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, a key microorganism in Daqu fermentation at the species level. The assay employs an amplification-refractory mutation system derived from PCR to analyze minor genetic differences between different Bacillus species. The utilization of CRISPR/Cas12 further guaranties the specificity of identifying the PCR amplicon and enables the quantification of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens via end-measurement fluorescence. Compared to conventional qPCR, the assay allows for species-level detection of bacteria, thus enabling the precise detection of the Bacillus strain that yields high-level 2,3,5,6-tetramethylpyrazine. The assay promises the precise monitoring of bacterial growth and contribution to flavor during Daqu fermentation, thus facilitating fermented food quality control.

Food Addit Contam Part A Chem Anal Control Expo Risk Assess 2023; 40:971-980. [PMID: 37535014 DOI: 10.1080/19440049.2023.2242955] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2023] [Revised: 07/13/2023] [Accepted: 07/17/2023] [Indexed: 08/04/2023]
Abstract
Lateral flow devices (LFDs) are straightforward scientific tools that have made substantial advances in recent years. They have been used in many fields including the meat industry to detect disease markers, determine meat freshness or meat species determination. They are, therefore, significant in the research of meat adulteration by mixed animal species, because food component authenticity is a serious concern encompassing health, economic, legal, and religious issues. Pork adulteration is one of the most crucial issues in the global meat industry. In this review, we discuss the various types of LFDs and recent research on the development of LFDs as an authenticity tool for detecting pig additives in meat-based products, and how regulatory authorities could adopt LFDs for their workflows. Despite the benefits of rapidity, simplicity, low cost, high sensitivity, and specificity, researchers face challenges when using LFD as a final confirmation test. Future directions are suggested for globalising the use of LFD as a halal authentication method.

Abstract
Noroviruses (NoVs) are one of the leading causes of acute gastroenteritis in humans. This study combined reverse transcription recombinase polymerase amplification (RT-RPA) with a clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat/CRISPR-associated protein (CRISPR/Cas) nucleic acid detection system to develop a point-of-care testing (POCT) technology for typing NoVs. The detection can be completed within 35 min at 37 °C, covering each genotype of genogroup I (GI) and II (GII) NoVs. The sensitivity of this method is 10 copies/μL for GI and 1 copy/μL for GII NoV plasmids. For the detection of clinical samples, the detection results of this method for NoV infected samples are consistent with the RT-qPCR detection method in the laboratory, and this detection method has no cross-reactivity with rotavirus and adenovirus. Therefore, the detection method established in this study enables the diagnosis and screening of suspected patients and close contacts by POCT, which is important for the timely identification and control of NoV outbreaks. In addition, the typing detection of GI and GII NoVs can achieve a precise diagnosis and treatment of patients infected with NoVs.

Abstract
Fast, sensitive, and easy-to-use methods for detecting DNA related to food adulteration, health, religious, and commercial purposes are evolving. In this research, a label-free electrochemical DNA biosensor method was developed for the detection of pork in processed meat samples. Gold electrodeposited screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs) were used and characterized using SEM and cyclic voltammetry. A biotinylated probe DNA sequence of the Cyt b S. scrofa gene mtDNA used as a sensing element containing guanine substituted by inosine bases. The detection of probe-target DNA hybridization on the streptavidin-modified gold SPCE surface was carried out by the peak guanine oxidation of the target using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). The optimum experimental conditions of data processing using the Box-Behnken design were obtained after 90 min of streptavidin incubation time, at the DNA probe concentration of 1.0 µg/mL, and after 5 min of probe-target DNA hybridization. The detection limit was 0.135 µg/mL, with a linearity range of 0.5-1.5 µg/mL. The resulting current response indicated that this detection method was selective against 5% pork DNA in a mixture of meat samples. This electrochemical biosensor method can be developed into a portable point-of-care detection method for the presence of pork or food adulterations.

Abstract
To prevent food fraud, products can be monitored by various chemical-analytical techniques. In this study, we present a CRISPR-Cpf1 DETECTR-based assay for the differentiation of plant ingredients in sweet confectionary like fine and bulk-cocoa, or bitter and sweet almonds. To enable rapid in-field analysis, the trans-cleavage activity of the Cpf1 enzyme was used to develop a DETECTR (DNA endonuclease-targeted CRISPR trans reporter) assay for simple, highly specific fluorometric detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). The endonuclease Cpf1 requires the protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) 5'-TTTV-3' for activation, but the recognition sequence is freely programmable. The SNPs were selected to alter the Cpf1 specific PAM sequence. As a result, sequences that do not carry the canonical PAM sequence are not detected and thus not cut. The optimized system was used for both raw material and processed products such as cocoa masses or marzipan with a limit of detection of 3 ng template DNA. In addition, we were able to implement the system in the context of an LFA (lateral flow assay) to serve as a basis for the development of rapid test systems.

Abstract
Economically motivated adulteration (EMA) has become a concern in food safety. We propose a CRISPR/Cas12a Mediated Enzymatic Recombinase Amplification detection system (CAMERA) that integrates Enzymatic Recombinase Amplification (ERA) and Cas12a cleavage to detect halal food adulteration. We designed and screened crRNA targeting CLEC, a porcine-specific nuclear single-copy gene, and optimized the reagent concentrations and incubation times for the ERA and Cas12a cleavage steps. CAMERA was highly specific for pork ingredients detection. The DNA concentration and fluorescence signal intensity relationship was linear at DNA concentrations of 20-0.032 ng/μL. CAMERA detected as few as two CLEC copies and quantified samples with porcine DNA content as low as 5% within 25 min. The system could be operated in a miniaturized working mode that requires no technical expertise or professional equipment, making CAMERA a valuable tool in resource-limited areas for the qualitative and quantitative detection of pork ingredients in halal food.

Abstract
Since the discovery of collateral cleavage activity, clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas systems have become the new generation of nucleic acid detection tools. However, their widespread application remains limited. A pre-amplification step is required to improve the sensitivity of CRISPR systems, complicating the operating procedure and limiting quantitative precision. In addition, nonspecific collateral cleavage activity makes it difficult to realize multiplex detection in a one-pot CRISPR reaction with a single Cas protein. Microfluidics, which can transfer nucleic acid analysis process to a chip, has the advantages of miniaturization, integration, and automation. Microfluidics coupled with CRISPR systems improves the detection ability of CRISPR, enabling fast, high-throughput, integrated, multiplex, and digital detection, which results in the further popularization of CRISPR for a range of scenarios.

Abstract
Determination of halal food is essential in ensuring the tranquillity of consumers, especially Muslims. Halal products mean they are free from prohibited ingredients according to Islamic law. One ingredient that is prohibited is food products containing pork and its derivatives. An accurate verification method with a fast result is necessary to meet this requirement for halal food. DNA quantification of pork is now believed to be able to make accurate and quick decisions, as DNA acts as a reservoir or biological characterization of all living things, including pigs, according to specific characteristics of molecular and connection settings. Various DNA-based methods developed include PCR, biosensor and CRISPR methods. This review discussed various DNA-based Keywords: biosensor, CRISPR, detection, DNA, pork, PCR methods, including PCR, biosensor and CRISPR, to detect pork content in food. Among these methods, CRISPR is considered the easiest, fastest and most accurate. Therefore, it is important to develop this method further in the future. In this article, we provide a short review on DNA-based methods for detection of pork content in food products.

Abstract
Pathogenic infection remains the primary threat to human health, such as the global COVID-19 pandemic. It is important to develop rapid, sensitive and multiplexed tools for detecting pathogens and their mutated variants, particularly the tailor-made strategies for point-of-care diagnosis allowing for use in resource-constrained settings. The rapidly evolving CRISPR/Cas systems have provided a powerful toolbox for pathogenic diagnostics via nucleic acid tests. In this review, we firstly describe the resultant promising class 2 (single, multidomain effector) and recently explored class 1 (multisubunit effector complexes) CRISPR tools. We present diverse engineering nucleic acid diagnostics based on CRISPR/Cas systems for pathogenic viruses, bacteria and fungi, and highlight the application for detecting viral variants and drug-resistant bacteria enabled by CRISPR-based mutation profiling. Finally, we discuss the challenges involved in on-site diagnostic assays and present emerging CRISPR systems and CRISPR cascade that potentially enable multiplexed and preamplification-free pathogenic diagnostics.

Abstract
Rapid and accurate molecular diagnosis is a prerequisite for precision medicine, food safety, and environmental monitoring. The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated (Cas)-based detection, as a cutting-edged technique, has become an immensely effective tool for molecular diagnosis because of its outstanding advantages including attomolar level sensitivity, sequence-targeted single-base specificity, and rapid turnover time. However, the CRISPR/Cas-based detection methods typically require a pre-amplification step to elevate the concentration of the analyte, which may produce non-specific amplicons, prolong the detection time, and raise the risk of carryover contamination. Hence, various strategies for target amplification-free CRISPR/Cas-based detection have been developed, aiming to minimize the sensitivity loss due to lack of pre-amplification, enable detection for non-nucleic acid targets, and facilitate integration in portable devices. In this review, the current status and challenges of target amplification-free CRISPR/Cas-based detection are first summarized, followed by highlighting the four main strategies to promote the performance of target amplification-free CRISPR/Cas-based technology. Furthermore, we discuss future perspectives that will contribute to developing more efficient amplification-free CRISPR/Cas detection systems.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bactrocera zonata, a major fruit pest species, is gradually spreading west from its native habitat in East Asia. In recent years it has become a significant threat to the Mediterranean area, with the potential of invading Europe, the Americas, and Australia. To prevent it spreading, monitoring efforts in cultivation sites and border controls are carried out. Despite these efforts, and due to morphological similarities between B. zonata and other pests in relevant developmental stages, the monitoring process is challenging, time-consuming, and requires external assistance from professional laboratories. CRISPR-Cas12a genetic diagnostics has been rapidly developing in recent years and provides an efficient tool for the genetic identification of pathogens, viruses, and other genetic targets. Here we design a CRISPR-Cas12a detection assay that differentially detects two major pest species, B. zonata and Ceratitis capitata. RESULTS We demonstrate the specificity and high sensitivity of this method. Identification of target pests was done using specific and universal primers on pooled samples, enabling differentiation of pests with high certainty. We also demonstrate reaction stability over time for future on-site applications. DISCUSSION Our easy-to-use and affordable assay employs a simple DNA extraction technique together with isothermal amplification and Cas12a-based detection. This method is highly modular, and the presented target design method can be applied to a wide array of pests. This approach can be easily adapted to fit local threats and requires minimal training of operators in border controls and other relevant locations, reshaping pest control and making state-of-the-art technologies available worldwide, including in developing countries. © 2022 The Authors.

Abstract
Pine wilt disease is caused by the pine wood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus) and leads to wilting and death of pines. It is one of the most damaging diseases of pines worldwide. Therefore, accurate and rapid detection methods are of great importance for the control of B. xylophilus. Traditional detection methods have some problems, such as being time-consuming and requiring expensive instruments. In this study, the loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) were used to establish a set of intelligent detection and analysis system for B. xylophilus, called LAMP-CRISPR/Cas12a analysis, which integrated field sampling, rapid detection and intelligent control analysis. The process can be completed within 1 hour, from sample pretreatment and detection to data analysis. Compared with the single LAMP method, the LAMP-CRISPR/Cas12a assay uses species-specific fluorescence cleavage to detect target amplicons. This process confirms the amplicon identity, thereby avoiding false-positive results from non-specific amplicons, and the large amounts of irrelevant background DNA do not interfere with the reaction. The LAMP-CRISPR/Cas12a assay was applied to 46 pine wood samples and the samples carrying B. xylophilus nematodes were successfully identified. To meet the needs of different environments, we designed three methods to interpret the data: 1) naked eye interpretation; 2) lateral flow biosensor assay; and 3) integrated molecular analysis system to standardize and intellectualize the detection process. Application of the B. xylophilus detection and analysis system will reduce the professional and technical requirements for the operating environment and operators and help to ensure the accuracy of the detection results, which is important in grass-root B. xylophilus detection institutions.

Abstract
Halal authentication has become essential in the food industry to ensure food is free from any prohibited ingredients according to Islamic law. Diversification of food origin and adulteration issues have raised concerns among Muslim consumers. Therefore, verification of food constituents and their quality is paramount. From conventional methods based on physical and chemical properties, various diagnostic methods have emerged relying on protein or DNA measurements. Protein-based methods that have been used in halal detection including electrophoresis, chromatographic-based methods, molecular spectroscopy and immunoassays. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) are DNA-based techniques that possess better accuracy and sensitivity. Biosensors are miniatured devices that operate by converting biochemical signals into a measurable quantity. CRISPR-Cas is one of the latest novel emerging nucleic acid detection tools in halal food analysis as well as quantification of stable isotopes method for identification of animal species. Within this context, this review provides an overview of the various techniques in halal detection along with their advantages and limitations. The future trend and growth of detection technologies are also discussed in this review.

Abstract
Food safety, closely related to economic development of food industry and public health, has become a global concern and gained increasing attention worldwide. Effective detection technology is of great importance to guarantee food safety. Although several classical detection methods have been developed, they have some limitations in portability, selectivity, and sensitivity. The emerging CRISPR-Cas systems, uniquely integrating target recognition specificity, signal transduction, and efficient signal amplification abilities, possess superior specificity and sensitivity, showing huge potential to address aforementioned challenges and develop next-generation techniques for food safety detection. In this review, we focus on recent progress of CRISPR-Cas mediated biosensing and their applications in food safety monitoring. The properties and principles of commonly used CRISPR-Cas systems are highlighted. Notably, the frequently coupled nucleic acid amplification strategies to enhance their selectivity and sensitivity, especially isothermal amplification methods, as well as various signal output modes are also systematically summarized. Meanwhile, the application of CRISPR-Cas systems-based biosensors in food safety detection including foodborne virus, foodborne bacteria, food fraud, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), toxins, heavy metal ions, antibiotic residues, and pesticide residues is comprehensively described. Furthermore, the current challenges and future prospects in this field are tentatively discussed.

Abstract
The trace detection of pesticide residue becomes particularly important since increasing attentions have been attached to food safety. Herein, we developed an electrochemiluminescence (ECL) covalent organic framework (COF) based-biosensor for trace pesticide detection coupling with CRISPR/Cas12a-mediated signal accumulation strategy. Firstly, the target conversion was carried out with an aptamer-assembled magnetic spherical nucleic acids, which can convert acetamiprid to activator DNA, triggering the CRISPR/Cas12a to make quenching probes far away from electrode for signal accumulation. The COF with stable and strong ECL was synthesized by a condensation reaction between the perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA) and melamine (MA), due to the highly ordered arrangement of the PTCDA luminescence units among COF structure and the pore confinement effect. Moreover, the designed assay method was successfully employed to detect the residual level of acetamiprid in real sample and expected to be widely used in pesticide-related food safety.

Abstract
Cocoa cultivation is dominated by the clone "Colleción Castro Naranjal 51" (CCN-51). In contrast, CCN-51 is the expensive and aromatic fine cocoa "Arriba Nacional" from Ecuador. The differences in the overall quality of the beans and in the prices show that it is necessary to develop a rapid and accurate method to distinguish these varieties and prevent food fraud. To this end, we used a CRISPR-Cpf1 assay suitable for AT-rich targets such as the chloroplast genome (cpGenome). SNPs in cocoa plastid genomes were selected to replace the canonical PAM sequence of Cpf1 (5'-TTTV-3'). We developed two assay systems to digest both Arriba and CCN-51. The results were tested qualitatively by agarose gel electrophoresis and quantitatively by capillary gel electrophoresis. Using the assay described here, we were able to reliably detect admixtures of 5% CCN-51 (P < 0.01) and 10% Arriba (P < 0.05). The application to processed cocoa products was also successful.

Abstract
Food safety is one of the biggest public issues occurring around the world. Microbiological, chemical, and physical hazards can lead to food safety issues, which may occur at all stages of the supply chain. In order to tackle food safety issues and safeguard consumer health, rapid, accurate, specific, and field-deployable detection methods meeting diverse requirements are one of the imperative measures for food safety assurance. CRISPR-Cas system, a newly emerging technology, has been successfully repurposed in biosensing and has demonstrated huge potential to establish conceptually novel detection methods with high sensitivity and specificity. This review focuses on CRISPR-Cas-based detection and its current status and huge potential specifically for food safety inspection. We firstly illustrate the pending problems in food safety and summarize the popular detection methods. We then describe the potential applications of CRISPR-Cas-based detection in food safety inspection. Finally, the challenges and futuristic opportunities are proposed and discussed. Generally speaking, the current food safety detection methods are still unsatisfactory in some ways such as being time-consuming, displaying unmet sensitivity and specificity standards, and there is a comparative paucity of multiplexed testing and POCT. Recent studies have shown that CRISPR-Cas-based biosensing is an innovative and fast-expanding technology, which could make up for the shortcomings of the existing methods or even replace them. To sum up, the implementation of CRISPR-Cas and the integration of CRISPR-Cas with other techniques is promising and desirable, which is expected to provide "customized" and "smart" detection methods for food safety inspection in the coming future.

Abstract
Panax notoginseng is an important functional health product, and has been used worldwide because of a wide range of pharmacological activities, of which the taproot is the main edible or medicinal part. However, the technologies for origin discrimination still need to be further studied. In this study, an ICP-MS/MS method for the accurate determination of 49 elements was established, whereby the instrumental detection limits (LODs) were between 0.0003 and 7.716 mg/kg, whereas the quantification limits (LOQs) were between 0.0011 and 25.7202 mg/kg, recovery of the method was in the range of 85.82% to 104.98%, and the relative standard deviations (RSDs) were lower than 10%. Based on the content of multi-element in P. notoginseng (total of 89 mixed samples), the discriminant models of origins and cultivation models were accurately determined by the neural networks (prediction accuracy was 0.9259 and area under ROC curve was 0.9750) and the support vector machine algorithm (both 1.0000), respectively. The discriminant models established in this study could be used to support transparency and traceability of supply chains of P. notoginseng and thus avoid the fraud of geographic identification.

Abstract
There has long been a need for more advanced forms of pathogen detection in the food industry. Though in its infancy, biosensing based on clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) has the potential to solve many problems that cannot be addressed using conventional methods. In this review, we briefly introduce and classify the various CRISPR/Cas protein effectors that have thus far been used in biosensors. We then assess the current state of CRISPR technology in food-safety contexts; describe how each Cas effector is utilized in foodborne-pathogen detection; and discuss the limitations of the current technology, as well as how it might usefully be applied in other areas of the food industry. We conclude that, if the limitations of existing CRISPR/Cas-based detection methods are overcome, they can be deployed on a wide scale and produce a range of positive food-safety outcomes.

Abstract
Viable foodborne pathogens can cause intestinal infection and food poisoning. Herein, we reported an RNA assay allowing for sensitive (close to 1 CFU and 1% viable bacteria detectable) and rapid (within 2.5 h) detection of viable pathogenic bacteria by coupling isothermal RNA amplification (nucleic acid sequence-based amplification, NASBA) with a CRISPR/Cas13a system. NASBA allowed direct amplification of 16S rRNA extracted from viable S. enterica (RNAs degrade rapidly in dead bacteria), and the specificity of amplification was ensured using Cas13a/crRNA to recognize the amplicons. We used the CRISPR/Cas13-based NASBA assay (termed cNASBA assay) to investigate the in vivo colonization and intestinal infection of S. enterica in mice. We found that S. enterica was mainly colonized at the cecum, colon, and rectum, and the severity of enteritis caused by S. enterica was determined by the number of viable S. enterica rather than the total count of S. enterica. The cNASBA assay can quantify viable S. enterica and thus can improve the accuracy of virulence estimation compared to qPCR. It shows promise as a reliable tool for monitoring pathogen contamination and biosafety control.
