Abstract
Melamine added to milk powder can lead to kidney injury and even death, but rapid detection is still hard due to the strong interference of milk powder solution. Herein, the CC/CeO2/CNPs mesh was constructed to detect melamine by using the photo-enhanced barrier effects on electrochemical response. Schottky barrier was regulated effectively to produce electrochemical response to melamine by photo-induced electrostatic interaction, which exhibited strong resistance to interference in milk powder solution. Sensitivity was enhanced by nearly 5 times and the lowest detection limit was reduced as low as 0.274 nM. The obtained high recovery (100%-104%) and good stability in milk powder solution indicated the good potential for practical applications. It provides a new opportunity for achieving strong resistance to interference by using the photo-enhanced barrier driving effect on electrochemical response.

Abstract
A simple and green colorimetric sensing assay strategy for highly efficient determination of melamine has been fabricated, which is based on the redox reaction of gallic acid with Ag+. Monodispersed Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) were obtained using gallic acid as a reducing and stabilizing agent. However, the aggregate behavior of AgNPs was observed, while the melamine was present in the reaction medium. As a result, the color of the solution changed from vivid yellow to brown, and the density of the color was quantitatively correlated with the melamine concentration. The aggregation of AgNPs could be attributable to the formation of hydrogen bonds between melamine and gallic acid. The designed sensor exhibited a good detection limit of 0.099 μM (0.012 ppm), which was much lower than the safety limit in China (1.0 ppm) and EU (2.0 ppm). Additionally, the sensing assay displayed good selectivity toward melamine over other coexisting substances. Consequently, the proposed colorimetric sensor was successfully used for the determination of melamine detection in raw milk samples.

Abstract
In this study, we have developed a method for rapid, highly efficient and selective detection of melamine. The negatively charged citrate ions form an electrostatic layer on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and keep the NPs dispersed and stable. When citrate-capped AuNPs were further modified with Triton X-100, it stabilized the AuNPs against the conditions of high ionic strength and a broad pH range. However, the addition of melamine caused the destabilization and aggregation of NPs. This may be attributed to the interaction between melamine and the AuNPs through the ligand exchange with citrate ions on the surface of AuNPs leading Triton X-100 to be removed. As a result, the AuNPs were unstable, resulting in the aggregation. The aggregation induced a wine red-to-blue color change, and a new absorption peak around 630nm appeared. Triton X-100-AuNPs could selectively detect melamine at the concentration as low as 5.1nM. This probe was successfully applied to detect melamine in milk. Furthermore, paper-based quantitative detection system using this colorimetric probe was also demonstrated by integrating with a smartphone.

Abstract
A highly selective method was presented for colorimetric determination of melamine using uracil 5'-triphosphate sodium modified gold nanoparticles (UTP-Au NPs) in this paper. Specific hydrogen-bonding interaction between uracil base (U) and melamine resulted in the aggregation of AuNPs, displaying variations of localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) features such as color change from red to blue and enhanced localized surface plasmon resonance light scattering (LSPR-LS) signals. Accordingly, the concentration of melamine could be quantified based on naked eye or a spectrometric method. This method was simple, inexpensive, environmental friendly and highly selective, which has been successfully used for the detection of melamine in pretreated liquid milk products with high recoveries.

Abstract
We have developed a rapid, sensitive, one-step, and selective colorimetric detection method for melamine (MEL) in milk powder based upon an in-situ formation of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) through modified Tollens process at room temperature. The triazine ring N atoms of MEL molecule were strategically designed to complex the Ag(+) through electron donor-acceptor interaction. During the AgNPs formation procedure, the MEL molecule, which has been covalently bonded with the Ag(+) ions, was adsorbed to the surface of as-prepared AgNPs, resulting in the aggregation of the adjacent AgNPs with detectable decreases of absorption signal. The concentration of MEL can be determined with the naked eye or a UV-vis spectrometer at which the yellow-to-brown color change associated with aggregate enhancement takes place. This method enables rapid (less than 30 min) and sensitive (limit of detection, LOD, 10 nM) detection, and it was also able to discriminate MEL from sixteen other milk relevant coexisting compounds. This assay does not utilize organic cosolvents, enzymatic reactions, light-sensitive dye molecules, lengthy protocols, or sophisticated instrumentation thereby overcoming some of the limitations of conventional methods.

Abstract
Development of assays to screen milk for economically motivated adulteration with foreign proteins has been stalled since 2008 due to strong international reactions to the melamine poisoning incident in China and the surveillance emphasis placed on low molecular weight nitrogen-rich adulterants. New screening assays are still needed to detect high molecular weight foreign protein adulterants and characterize this understudied potential risk. A rapid turbidimetric method was developed to screen milk powder for adulteration with insoluble plant proteins. Milk powder samples spiked with 0.03-3% by weight of soy, pea, rice, and wheat protein isolates were extracted in 96-well plates, and resuspended pellet solution absorbance was measured. Limits of detection ranged from 100 to 200 μg, or 0.1-0.2% of the sample weight, and adulterant pellets were visually apparent even at ∼0.1%. Extraction recoveries ranged from 25 to 100%. Assay sensitivity and simplicity indicate that it would be ideally suitable to rapidly screen milk samples in resource poor environments where adulteration with plant protein is suspected.

Abstract
Melamine is widely being reported as a food adulterant. Although its toxicity is currently recognized, melamine adulterations of food items are ongoing for falsely inflating the protein content of the food. Melamine alone or in combination with cyanuric acid or uric acid causes nephrotoxicity, and melamine-induced nephrotoxicity is now a global concern. It has been proven that when consumed, melamine is metabolized at a slower rate and excreted unchanged in urine. There is every possibility that when individuals consume melamine-adulterated food items, the melamine may be excreted unchanged in the urine. Therefore, melamine estimation in urine may be a yardstick to check for melamine adulteration of food items. In the present review, recent literature on this subject is analyzed justifying.

Abstract
Melamine contamination in food has resulted in sickness and deaths of human infants, pets, and farm animals in the past decade. The majority of the victims suffered from acute kidney injury, nephrolithiasis, and urolithiasis. Since then, animal studies have revealed the possible target organs of the melamine toxicity and the extent of the adverse effects of the contaminant. State-of-the-art analytical methods have been developed to achieve the "zero tolerance" aim for such economically motivated adulteration. These studies provide in-depth understanding of the melamine toxicity and promising analytical methods, which can help us safeguard our dairy food source.
