Truc Phuong NT, Dang VQ, Van Hieu L, Bach TN, Khuyen BX, Thi Ta HK, Ju H, Phan BT, Thi Tran NH. Functionalized silver nanoparticles for SERS amplification with enhanced reproducibility and for ultrasensitive optical fiber sensing in environmental and biochemical assays. RSC Adv 2022; 12:31352-31362. [PMID: 36348993 PMCID: PMC9624182 DOI: 10.1039/d2ra06074d] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2022] [Accepted: 10/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Plasmonic sensors have broad application potential in many fields and are promising to replace most bulky sensors in the future. There are various method-based chemical reduction processes for silver nanoparticle production with flexible structural shapes due to their simplicity and rapidity in nanoparticle fabrication. In this study, self-assembled silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) with a plasmon peak at 424 nm were successfully coated onto -NH2-functionalized glass and optical fiber sensors. These coatings were rapidly produced via two denaturation reactions in plasma oxygen, respectively, and an APTES ((3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane) solution was shown to have high strength and uniformity. With the use of Ag NPs for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), excellent results and good stability with the detection limit up to 10-10 M for rhodamine B and 10-8 M for methylene blue, and a signal degradation of only ∼20% after storing for 30 days were achieved. In addition, the optical fiber sensor with Ag NP coatings exhibited a higher sensitivity value of 250 times than without coatings to the glycerol solution. Therefore, significant enhancement of these ultrasensitive sensors demonstrates promising alternatives to cumbersome tests of dye chemicals and biomolecules without any complicated process.

Non-Invasive Methods for Predicting the Quality of Processed Horticultural Food Products, with Emphasis on Dried Powders, Juices and Oils: A Review. Foods 2021; 10:foods10123061. [PMID: 34945612 PMCID: PMC8701083 DOI: 10.3390/foods10123061] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2021] [Revised: 11/29/2021] [Accepted: 12/02/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
This review covers recent developments in the field of non-invasive techniques for the quality assessment of processed horticultural products over the past decade. The concept of quality and various quality characteristics related to evaluating processed horticultural products are detailed. A brief overview of non-invasive methods, including spectroscopic techniques, nuclear magnetic resonance, and hyperspectral imaging techniques, is presented. This review highlights their application to predict quality attributes of different processed horticultural products (e.g., powders, juices, and oils). A concise summary of their potential commercial application for quality assessment, control, and monitoring of processed agricultural products is provided. Finally, we discuss their limitations and highlight other emerging non-invasive techniques applicable for monitoring and evaluating the quality attributes of processed horticultural products. Our findings suggest that infrared spectroscopy (both near and mid) has been the preferred choice for the non-invasive assessment of processed horticultural products, such as juices, oils, and powders, and can be adapted for on-line quality control. Raman spectroscopy has shown potential in the analysis of powdered products. However, imaging techniques, such as hyperspectral imaging and X-ray computed tomography, require improvement on data acquisition, processing times, and reduction in the cost and size of the devices so that they can be adopted for on-line measurements at processing facilities. Overall, this review suggests that non-invasive techniques have the potential for industrial application and can be used for quality assessment.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is being considered as a powerful technique in the area of food safety due to its rapidity, sensitivity, portability, and non-destructive features. This review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of SERS applications in fast detection of toxic and harmful substances in food matrix. The enhancement mechanism of SERS, classification of active substrates, detection methods, and their advantages and disadvantages are briefly discussed in the review. The latest research progress of fast SERS detection of food-borne pathogens, mycotoxins, shellfish toxins, illegal food additives, and drug residues are highlighted in sections of the review. According to the current status of SERS detection of food-derived toxic and harmful substances, the review comes up with certain problems to be urgently resolved in SERS and brings up the perspectives on the future directions of SERS based biosensors.

Abstract
Abstract
The property modifications in a thin film when its surface undergoes a nanoparticle decoration process in addition to its surface nanostructuring are investigated this paper. In specific, it describes the property modifications of antimony trioxide and its annealed variant, when their surface is decorated with Ag nanoparticles. Along with the modifications brought to the thin films, the morphology variations or agglomeration effects happening to Ag nanoparticles through/after this decoration process is also discussed here. We observe a mutual tuning of morphology as well as properties of thin film and nanoparticles. A fractal like cluster formation of Ag nanoparticle on the surface of nanostructured Sb2O3 thin film was witnessed. Whereas on the surfaces of Sb2O3 (annealed) thin film and glass plate, clustering of Ag nanoparticle is found to be different. On annealed Sb2O3 thin film surface, instead of forming fractal clusters most of the Ag nanoparticles fill in the voids between the thorns like structure of the film. The surface modification highly influences the optical absorption as well as the hydrophilicity of antimony trioxide samples. Due to the introduction of Ag nanoparticle, the absorption of Sb2O3 thin film in the visible region increased. All the synthesized films have roughness coefficient >1 and all are hydrophilic in nature. Nano structured Sb2O3 thin film is extremely hydrophilic and they become hydrophilic due to the introduction of Ag nanoparticle. The filling of Ag nanoparticles in the voids between the thorn structures might have prevented the water droplet penetration into these voids. Consequently, a partial wetting occurs on the film surface. High SERS efficiency factor (EF) and good reproducibility of Ag/Sb2O3/Glass make it a good candidate for SERS application.

Abstract
Nanorods based on ZnO for surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy are promising for the non-invasive and rapid detection of biomarkers and diagnosis of disease. However, optimization of nanorod and coating parameters is essential to their practical application. With the goal of establishing a baseline for early detection in biological applications, gold-coated ZnO nanorods were grown and coated to form porous structures. Prior to gold deposition, the grown nanorods were 30–50 nm in diameter and 500–600 nm in length. Gold coatings were grown on the nanorod structure to a series of thicknesses between 100 and 300 nm. A gold coating of 200 nm was found to optimize the Rhodamine B model analyte signal, while performance for rat urine depended on the biomarkers to be detected. These results establish design guidelines for future use of Au-ZnO nanorods in the study and early diagnosis of inflammatory diseases.
