Abstract
This study prepared a novel, portable and cost-effective microfluidic paper-based electrochemical analysis device (μ-PAD) using black phosphorus nanosheets@carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (BPNSs@MWCNTs-COOH) nanocomposites for β-lactoglobulin (β-LG) detection. At the appreciate ratio, the synthesized BPNSs@MWCNTs-COOH was demonstrated to not only serve as a high-quality substrate for the specific aptamer immobilization, but also improve the electron transfer capability of the sensing interface. The μ-PADs, utilizing BPNSs@MWCNTs-COOH and aptamer recognition, exhibited a wider detection range (10-1000 ng mL-1) and lower detection limit (LOD: 0.12 ng mL-1) for β-LG, and demonstrated enhanced specificity, satisfactory anti-interference ability and stability. When applied to the β-LG determination in dairy samples, the μ-PAD yielded β-LG concentrations highly correlated with those obtained using the HPLC method (R2: 0.9982). These results emphasized the reliable performance of the developed μ-PADs in β-LG allergen quantification, highlighting their potential as an efficient platform for the rapid screening of β-LG allergens.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Food allergen cross-contact during food preparation and production is one of the causes of unintentional allergen presence in packaged foods. However, little is known about allergen cross-contact in shared frying or roasting oil, which prevents the establishment of effective allergen controls and may put allergic individuals at risk. To better understand the quantity of allergen transferred to frying oil and subsequent products, an analytical method is needed for quantifying protein in oil that has been exposed to frying/roasting conditions. OBJECTIVE The goal of this study was to develop a parallel reaction monitoring LC-MS/MS method to quantify the amount of cashew protein in shared roasting oil. METHODS The sample preparation method was evaluated to improve protein extractability and peptide performance. Four quantitative peptides representing cashew 2S and 11S proteins were selected as targets based on their sensitivity, heat stability, and specificity. A calibration strategy was developed to quantify the amount of total cashew protein in oil. Method performance was evaluated using a heated cashew-in-oil model system. RESULTS The method showed high recovery in oil samples spiked with 100 or 10 parts per million (ppm) total cashew protein heated at 138 or 166°C for 2-30 min. Samples (100 ppm total cashew protein) heated for 30 min had more than 90% recovery when treated at 138°C and more than 50% when heated at 166°C. CONCLUSION The method is fit-for-purpose for the analysis of cashew allergen cross-contact in oil. HIGHLIGHTS A novel MS-based method was developed that can accurately quantify the amount of cashew protein present in heated oil.

Abstract
Quantifying protein levels in genetically modified (GM) crops is crucial in every phase of development, deregulation, and seed production. Immunoassays, particularly enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, have been the primary protein quantitation techniques for decades within the industry due to their efficiency, adaptability, and credibility. Newer immunoassay technologies like Meso Scale Discovery and Luminex offer enhanced sensitivity and multiplexing capabilities. While mass spectrometry (MS) has been widely used for small molecules and protein detection in the pharmaceutical and agricultural industries (e.g., biomarkers, endogenous allergens), its use in quantifying protein levels in GM crops has been limited. However, as trait portfolios for GM crop have expanded, MS has been increasingly adopted due to its comparable sensitivity, increased specificity, and multiplexing capabilities. This review contrasts the benefits and limitations of immunoassays and MS technologies for protein measurement in GM crops, considering factors such as cost, convenience, and specific analytical needs. Ultimately, both techniques are suitable for assessing protein concentrations in GM crops, with MS offering complementary capabilities to immunoassays. This comparison aims to provide insights into selecting between these techniques based on the user's end point needs.

In-house validation of an LC-MS method for the multiplexed quantitative determination of total allergenic food in chocolate. Anal Bioanal Chem 2024; 416:809-825. [PMID: 37615691 PMCID: PMC10766722 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-023-04894-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2023] [Revised: 07/28/2023] [Accepted: 07/31/2023] [Indexed: 08/25/2023]
Abstract
Mass spectrometry has been widely accepted as a confirmatory tool for the sensitive detection of undeclared presence of allergenic ingredients. Multiple methods have been developed so far, achieving different levels of sensitivity and robustness, still lacking harmonization of the analytical validation and impairing comparability of results. In this investigation, a quantitative method has been validated in-house for the determination of six allergenic ingredients (cow's milk, hen's egg, peanut, soybean, hazelnut, and almond) in a chocolate-based matrix. The latter has been produced in a food pilot plant to provide a real and well-characterized matrix for proper assessment of method performance characteristics according to official guidelines. In particular, recent considerations issued by the European Committee for Standardization have been followed to guide a rigorous single-laboratory validation and to feature the main method performance, such as selectivity, linearity, and sensitivity. Synthetic surrogates of the peptide markers have been used both in native and labelled forms in matrix-matched calibration curves as external calibrants and internal standards, respectively. A two-order of magnitude range was investigated, focusing on the low concentration range for proper assessment of the detection and quantification limits (LOD and LOQ) by rigorous calibration approach. Conversion factors for all six allergenic ingredients have been determined for the first time to report the final quantitative information as fraction of total allergenic food protein (TAFP) per mass of food (µgTAFP/gfood), since such a reporting unit is exploitable in allergenic risk assessment plans. The method achieved good sensitivity with LOD values ranging between 0.08 and 0.2 µgTAFP/gfood, for all ingredients besides egg and soybean, whose quantitative markers reported a slightly higher limit (1.1 and 1.2 µgTAFP/gfood, respectively). Different samples of chocolate bar incurred at four defined concentration levels close to the currently available threshold doses have been analyzed to test the quantitative performance of the analytical method, with a proper estimate of the measurement uncertainty from different sources of variability. The sensitivity achieved resulted in compliance with the various threshold doses issued or recommended worldwide.

Abstract
Food allergy is the reaction of the immune system of the body that occurs after consuming specific foods. During specific physiological ages of pregnancy, women are more prone to different allergic reactions and mostly these reactions may prolong and have long-term effects. The hypersensitivity of different types of allergens is mainly linked with the adversity of reactions. The chances of suffering food allergies in women are greater than in men; women are usually more prone to get allergic to some foods during their specific physiological age of pregnancy. Food allergies are more common in pregnant women as every fifth pregnant woman is affected by some kind of allergy. The specific reasons and evidence of the causes of these food allergies during pregnancies have yet to be explored. A pregnant woman should take a balanced diet and avoid consuming known allergic foods to minimize the risk and complications. This review aimed to broaden the knowledge on food allergies during pregnancies, their onset in the babies, and to make it easy for pregnant women to cope with the complications caused by these food allergies. It also aimed to figure out the certain food that might be responsible for the onset of allergies in women during pregnancy and the effect of these allergies on their babies.

Abstract
The discovery of low- and very low-abundance proteins in medical applications is considered a key success factor in various important domains. To reach this category of proteins, it is essential to adopt procedures consisting of the selective enrichment of species that are present at extremely low concentrations. In the past few years pathways towards this objective have been proposed. In this review, a general landscape of the enrichment technology situation is made first with the presentation and the use of combinatorial peptide libraries. Then, a description of this peculiar technology for the identification of early-stage biomarkers for well-known pathologies with concrete examples is given. In another field of medical applications, the determination of host cell protein traces potentially present in recombinant therapeutic proteins, such as antibodies, is discussed along with their potentially deleterious effects on the health of patients on the one hand, and on the stability of these biodrugs on the other hand. Various additional applications of medical interest are disclosed for biological fluids investigations where the target proteins are present at very low concentrations (e.g., protein allergens).

Abstract
Several technologies are available for incorporating whey proteins into a cheese matrix. However, there is no valid analytical method available to determine the whey protein content in matured cheese, to date. Consequently, the aim of the present study was to develop a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for the quantification of individual whey proteins based on specific marker peptides ('bottom-up' proteomic approach). Therefore, the whey protein-enriched model of the Edam-type cheese was produced in a pilot plant and on an industrial scale. Tryptic hydrolysis experiments were performed to evaluate the suitability of identified potential marker peptides (PMPs) for α-lactalbumin (α-LA) and β-lactoglobulin (β-LG). Based on the findings, α-LA and β-LG appeared to be resistant to proteolytic degradation during six weeks of ripening and no influence on the PMP was observed. Good levels of linearity (R2 > 0.9714), repeatability (CVs < 5%), and recovery rate (80% to 120%) were determined for most PMPs. However, absolute quantification with external peptide and protein standards revealed differences in model cheese depending on the PMP, e.g., 0.50% ± 0.02% to 5.31% ± 0.25% for β-LG. As protein spiking prior to hydrolysis revealed differing digestion behavior of whey proteins, further studies are required to enable valid quantification in various cheese types.

Development of a simple and reliable LC-MS/MS method to simultaneously detect walnut and almond as specified in food allergen labelling regulations in processed foods. Curr Res Food Sci 2023; 6:100444.

Abstract
We developed a simple and reliable analytical method using high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to simultaneously detect walnut and almond as specified in regulations for food allergen labelling in processed foods. Five specific target peptides derived from walnut 2S albumin and 7S globulin and three target peptides from almond 11S globulin were selected by analysing several varieties of walnut and almond, eight kinds of other nuts, and ten kinds of major allergen ingredients or cereals. The limit of detection for the walnut 2S albumin peptide GEEMEEMVQSAR (m/z 698.3 [precursor] > 316.1 [product]) was 0.22 ± 0.02 μg/g, and that for almond 11S globulin peptide GNLDFVQPPR (m/z 571.8 [precursor] > 369.2 [product]) was 0.08 ± 0.02 μg/g when extracted walnut and almond protein were spiked into butter cookie chocolate ice cream. These peptides had good linearity (R2 > 0.999) for each calibration curve with a range of 0.1-50 μg/mL protein concentration in the sample solutions, and sufficient recovery rates (90.4-101.5%) from the spiked samples. The developed analytical approach is applicable to a wide variety of processed foods for food allergen labelling.

A Method for Screening Proteases That Can Specifically Hydrolyze the Epitope AA83-105 of α s1-Casein Allergen. Foods 2022; 11:foods11213322.

Abstract
Milk protein hydrolysates are common in infant formula, but some of them retain allergenicity due to incomplete hydrolysis of the epitopes for milk allergens. This study explored a method for screening proteases that could specifically hydrolyze the epitope of αs1-casein allergen. Firstly, the αs1-casein epitope AA83-105 was synthesized by the solid-phase synthesis method. Then, after purification and identification, the complete antigen was prepared through coupling with bovine serum albumin (BSA) and was used to raise monoclonal antibodies (mAb) in BALB/c mice. Additionally, an indirect competitive-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (icELISA) was established. The mAb raised against αs1-casein protein was used as a control. The results showed that the purity of the synthetic epitope was >90%, and the coupling rate with BSA was 6.31. The mAb subtype is IgG1, with a titer of 1:320,000. The mAb reacted specifically with αs1-casein but did not cross-react with soybean protein. The linear regression equation of the competitive inhibition curve was y = −9.22x + 100.78 (R2 = 0.9891). The detection limit of icELISA method was more sensitive, and the method showed good accuracy and repeatability. The amounts of antigen residues in papain protease hydrolysates were relatively small, and the epitope fragment was detected in papain hydrolysate via mass spectrometry. This study provides ideas and methods for screening proteases that specifically hydrolyze the epitopes of milk allergens and also provides a superior foundation for the development of an advanced hypoallergenic formula.

Abstract
Milk is one of the most common sources of protein in people’s daily lives, and it is also recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) as one of the eight categories of food allergies to human beings. α-lactalbumin (α-La) is the main cause of milk allergy. In this study, a single-stranded DNA aptamer with high binding affinity to α-La were selected using systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX) method. Compared with the full-length sequence, the binding affinity of the truncated aptamer LA-1t for α-La was increased six times using fluorescence analysis. Circular dichroism (CD) indicated that the secondary structure of LA-1t contained a typical hairpin structure. Through the docking simulation of LA-1t and α-La, these experimental results were further explained theoretically, and the recognition mechanism was explained. Finally, the colorimetric and fluorescence signal of boron nitride quantum dots anchored to porous CeO2 nanorods (BNQDs/CeO2) were modulated by FAM-labeled LA-1t to achieve highly selective and sensitive determination of α-La. This dual-mode sensing strategy displayed sensitive recognition for α-La in a linear range of 5–4,000 ng/ml with the LOD was 3.32 ng/ml (colorimetry) and 0.71 ng/ml (fluorescence), respectively. Simultaneously, the colorimetry/fluorescence dual-mode sensing strategy was applied for detecting α-La in spiked real samples and demonstrated good stability and reliability.

Abstract
High mass resolution mass spectrometry provides hundreds to thousands of protein identifications per sample, and quantification is typically performed using label-free quantification. However, the gold standard of quantitative proteomics is multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) using triple quadrupole mass spectrometers and stable isotope reference peptides. This raises the question how to reduce a large data set to a small one without losing essential information. Here we present the reduction of such a data set using correlation analysis of bovine dairy ingredients and derived products. We were able to explain the variance in the proteomics data set using only 9 proteins across all major dairy protein classes: caseins, whey, and milk fat globule membrane proteins. We term this method Trinity-MRM. The reproducibility of the protein extraction and Trinity-MRM methods was shown to be below 5% in independent experiments (multi-day single-user and single-day multi-user) using double cream. Further application of this reductionist approach might include screening of large sample cohorts for biologically interesting samples before analysis by high-resolution mass spectrometry or other omics methodologies.

Abstract
Food allergy (FA) is a serious public health issue afflicting millions of people globally, with an estimated prevalence ranging from 1-10%. Management of FA is challenging due to overly restrictive diets and the lack of diagnostic approaches with high accuracy and prediction. Although measurement of serum-specific antibodies combined with patient medical history and skin prick test is a useful diagnostic tool, it is still an imprecise predictor of clinical reactivity with a high false-positive rate. The double-blind placebo-controlled food challenge represents the gold standard for FA diagnosis; however, it requires large healthcare and involves the risk of acute onset of allergic reactions. Improvement in our understanding of the molecular mechanism underlying allergic disease pathology, development of omics-based methods, and advances in bioinformatics have boosted the generation of a number of robust diagnostic biomarkers of FA. In this review, we discuss how traditional diagnostic modalities guide appropriate diagnosis and management of FA in clinical practice, as well as uncover the potential of the latest biomarkers for the diagnosis, monitoring, and prediction of FA. We also raise perspectives for precise and targeted medical intervention to fill the gap in the diagnosis of FA.

Abstract
Milk species adulteration has become an altering issue worldwide. In this study, a robust quantification method based on LC-HRMS for the simultaneous detection and differentiation of milk type from eight different animal species (namely: cow, water buffalo, wild yak, goat, sheep, donkey, horse, and camel) was established by detecting nine signature peptides originating from casein. The developed method was in-house validated in terms of sensitivity, accuracy, and precision. As a result, limits of quantification (LOQ) were ranging from 5 to 30 µg/L, recoveries ranged from 95.2% to 104.5%, and intra-day and inter-day variability were lower than 11.4% and 12.6%, respectively, for all the targeted peptides. Furthermore, this method was successfully applied to 46 commercial minor species' milk, in which 15 samples were false labeling. The obtained results indicate the necessity to monitor milk species adulteration in order to protect consumers from consuming misleading labeled minor species animal's milk.

Abstract
Food allergies have seriously affected the life quality of some people and even endangered their lives. At present, there is still no effective cure for food allergies. Avoiding the intake of allergenic food is still the most effective way to prevent allergic diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to develop rapid, accurate, sensitive, and reliable analysis methods to detect food allergens from different sources. Aptamers are oligonucleotide sequences that can bind to a variety of targets with high specificity and selectivity, and they are often combined with different transduction technologies, thereby constructing various types of aptamer sensors. In recent years, with the development of technology and the application of new materials, the sensitivity, portability, and cost of fluorescence sensing technology have been greatly improved. Therefore, aptamer-based fluorescence sensing technology has been widely developed and applied in the specific recognition of food allergens. In this paper, the classification of major allergens and their characteristics in animal and plant foods were comprehensively reviewed, and the preparation principles and practical applications of aptamer-based fluorescence biosensors are summarized. In addition, we hope that this article can provide some strategies for the rapid and sensitive detection of allergens in food matrices.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Various processing aids and fining agents are used in winemaking to help improve sensory characteristics. Some of these materials may contain or be derived from allergenic foods, such as eggs. In order to ensure food safety and that products meet regulatory compliance, it is essential to have robust and effective analytical methods to verify the removal of allergenic proteins following their use. Current methods include immunoassays (ELISA) and mass spectrometry methods, which can target either whole foods or individual proteins, and provide either quantitative data or qualitative confirmation of proteins. Mass spectrometry methods offer the potential to test for multiple proteins within a single assay to improve cost and efficiency, whereas ELISA methods typically analyze for a single protein per assay. OBJECTIV This study focuses on the development of a LC-MS/MS quantitative method for lysozyme in white wine and compares performance across two laboratories utilizing two different instrument platforms. METHODS Lysozyme target peptides were selected by conducting bottom-up discovery proteomics. Candidate targets were evaluated using parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) or selected reaction monitoring (SRM) LC-MS/MS, depending on the instrument in each laboratory. Quantification of lysozyme was conducted using internal, stable-isotope-labeled synthetic peptide standards. RESULTS Three of eight candidate target peptides showed performance suitable for the final quantitative method. White wine spiked with 0.1 and 0.5 ppm lysozyme demonstrated quantitative recovery of 70-120%. While the PRM method delivered better repeatability, the SRM method gave higher quantitative recovery values. CONCLUSION A targeted LC-MS/MS method for quantification of lysozyme in white wine has been developed and deployed on two different MS instrument platforms in two laboratories. HIGHLIGHTS Both SRM and PRM targeted LC-MS/MS methodologies can be used for quantification of lysozyme in white wine. This study is among the first to evaluate an MS method for food allergen quantification in multiple laboratories.

Abstract
Whey and its components are recognized as value-added ingredients in infant formulas, beverages, sports nutritious foods, and other food products. Whey offers opportunities for the food industrial sector to develop functional foods with potential health benefits due to its unique physiological and functional attributes. Despite all the above importance, the consumption of whey protein (WP) can trigger hypersensitive reactions and is a constant threat for sensitive individuals. Although avoiding such food products is the most successful approach, there is still a chance of incorrect labeling and cross-contamination during food processing. As whey allergens in food products are cross-reactive, the phenomenon of homologous milk proteins of various species may escalate to a more serious problem. In this review, nonthermal processing technologies used to prevent and eliminate WP allergies are presented and discussed in detail. These processing technologies can either enhance or mitigate the impact of potential allergenicity. Therefore, the development of highly precise analytical technologies to detect and quantify the existence of whey allergens is of considerable importance. The present review is an attempt to cover all the updated approaches used for the detection of whey allergens in processed food products. Immunological and DNA-based assays are generally used for detecting allergenic proteins in processed food products. In addition, mass spectrometry is also employed as a preliminary technique for detection. We also highlighted the latest improvements in allergen detection toward biosensing strategies particularly immunosensors and aptasensors.

Abstract
Implant infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) can cause major complications during the perioperative period. Diclofenac, one of the most widely used nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, is often used to relieve pain and inflammation. In this study, it is found that high-dose diclofenac can inhibit the growth of MRSA, and does not easily induce drug-resistant mutations after continuous passage. However, low-doses diclofenac can resensitize bacteria to β-lactams, which help to circumvent drug resistance and improve the antibacterial efficacy of conventional antibiotics. Further, low-dose diclofenac in combination with β-lactams inhibit MRSA associated biofilm formation in implants. Transcriptomic and proteomic analyses indicate that diclofenac can reduce the expression of genes and proteins associated with β-lactam resistance: mecA, mecR, and blaZ; peptidoglycan biosynthesis: murA, murC, femA, and femB; and biofilm formation: altE and fnbP. Murine implant infection models indicate that diclofenac combined with β-lactams, can substantially alleviate MRSA infections in vivo. In addition, it is investigated that low dose diclofenac can inhibit MRSA antibiotic resistance via the mecA/blaZ pathway and related biofilms in implants. The synergistic effect of diclofenac and β-lactams might have promising applications for preventing perioperative infection, considering its multitarget effects against MRSA.

Abstract
Food allergies are a global food challenge. For correct food labelling, the detection and quantification of allergens are necessary. However, novel product formulations and industrial processes produce new scenarios, which require much more technological developments. For this purpose, OMICS technologies, especially proteomics, seemed to be relevant in this context. This review summarises the current knowledge and studies that used proteomics to study food allergens. In the case of the allergenic proteins, a wide variety of isoforms, post-translational modifications and other structural changes during food processing can increase or decrease the allergenicity. Most of the plant-based food allergens are proteins with biological functions involved in storage, structure, and plant defence. The allergenicity of these proteins could be increased by the presence of heavy metals, air pollution, and pesticides. Targeted proteomics like selected/multiple reaction monitoring (SRM/MRM) have been very useful, especially in the case of gluten from wheat, rye and barley, and allergens from lentil, soy, and fruit. Conventional 1D and 2-DE immunoblotting have been further widely used. For animal-based food allergens, the widely used technologies are 1D and 2-DE immunoblotting followed by MALDI-TOF/TOF, and more recently LC-MS/MS, which is becoming useful to assess egg, fish, or milk allergens. The detection and quantification of allergenic proteins using mass spectrometry-based proteomics are promising and would contribute to greater accuracy, therefore improving consumer information.
