Abstract
The high toxicity and widespread contamination of ochratoxin A (OTA) make it urgent to develop a sensitive method to detect trace OTA in complex food matrices. Herein, an indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (icELISA)-based on the CRISPR/Cas12a system is described. DNA amplicons with multiple activation sequences of the CRISPR/Cas12a system were pre-prepared to improve detection sensitivity. In the absence of OTA, streptavidin-mediated biotinylated DNA amplicons were captured by the biotinylated secondary antibody on the microplate. The captured DNA amplicons activated the CRISPR/Cas12a system, which thereby effectively cleaved the reporter DNA, producing strong fluorescence. The presence of OTA led to a decrease in DNA amplicons on the microplate, resulting in a decrease in activated Cas12a and ultimately a drop in fluorescence intensity. OTA in food matrices at nanogram per milliliter levels can be detected. Therefore, the new method has great potential in monitoring OTA.

Abstract
The ideal smart food-packaging film exhibits responsive color warnings and antimicrobial properties when food metamorphism starts. However, in practical applications, these film responses are slow, usually taking several days, which is not conducive to effective antimicrobial effects. In this study, natural plant-derived curcumin was introduced into waterborne polyurethane (WPU) dispersions through two modes: free-state and end-capping. During the film-forming process, under the influence of surface tension, the capped-end curcumin migrated to the surface and further immobilized free curcumin through π-π interactions. Consequently, curcumin accumulated on the film surface, preventing flipping in moist or hydrophobic environments, in addition to acting as a color indicator for the rapid detection of crab spoilage, thus generating ammonia for a real-time response (of approximately 60 s). Simultaneously, the curcumin degraded, producing water-soluble antimicrobial curcumin-degradation products. This study significantly advances the practical application of curcumin in smart food packaging.

Abstract
A novel and simple ratiometric fluorescent aptasensor was developed for the sensitive detection of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1). A hairpin DNA (h-DNA) was independently synthesized as the basic skeleton, and the bidirectional hybridization of h-DNA can increase the load of aptamer and signal probes, thereby realizing signal amplification. The high-efficiency fluorescence resonance energy transfer interaction between gold-palladium nanoparticles (Au-Pd NPs) and the self-synthesized fluorescent probe carbon dots (CDs) was utilized. Moreover, the label-free probe SYBR Green I (SG I) dye was introduced to form a double-signal probe with CDs, and a ratiometric sensor with FCDs/FSG I as a response signal was constructed. The ratio strategy can eliminate the fluctuation of external factors, thus improving the accuracy and reliability of the sensor. The quenching effect of Au-Pd NPs on CDs was 1.4 times that of AuNPs and 3.4 times that of Pd NPs, respectively. In the range 1-100 ng/mL, FCDs/FSG I showed a good linear relationship with the logarithm of the concentration of AFB1, and the limit of detection was as low as 0.07 ng/mL. The sensor was used to detect AFB1 in spiked peanuts and wine samples, and the recovery was between 91 and 115%, indicating that the sensor has high application potential in real sample analysis.

Abstract
Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced during the growth, storage, and transportation of crops contaminated by fungi and are physiologically toxic to humans and animals. Aflatoxin, zearalenone, deoxynivalenol, ochratoxin, patulin, and fumonisin are the most common mycotoxins and can cause liver and nervous system damage, immune system suppression, and produce carcinogenic effects in humans and animals that have consumed contaminated food. Physical, chemical, and biological methods are generally used to detoxify mycotoxins. Although physical methods, such as heat treatment, irradiation, and adsorption, are fast and simple, they have associated problems including incomplete detoxification, limited applicability, and cause changes in food characteristics (e.g., nutritive value, organoleptic properties, and palatability). Chemical detoxification methods, such as ammonification, ozonation, and peroxidation, pollute the environment and produce food safety risks. In contrast, bioenzymatic methods are advantageous as they achieve selective detoxification and are environmentally friendly and reusable; thus, these methods are the most promising options for the detoxification of mycotoxins. This paper reviews recent research progress on common mycotoxins and the enzymatic principles and mechanisms for their detoxification, analyzes the toxicity of the degradation products and describes the challenges faced by researchers in carrying out enzymatic detoxification. In addition, the application of enzymatic detoxification in food and feed is discussed and future directions for the development of enzymatic detoxification methods are proposed for future in-depth study of enzymatic detoxification methods.

Abstract
Food safety is a global issue in public hygiene. The accurate, sensitive, and on-site detection of various food contaminants performs significant implications. However, traditional methods suffer from the time-consuming and professional operation, restricting their on-site application. Hydrogels with the merits of highly porous structure, high biocompatibility, good shape-adaptability, and stimuli-responsiveness offer a promising biomaterial to design sensors for ensuring food safety. This review describes the emerging applications of hydrogel-based sensors in food safety inspection in recent years. In particular, this study elaborates on their fabrication strategies and unique sensing mechanisms depending on whether the hydrogel is stimuli-responsive or not. Stimuli-responsive hydrogels can be integrated with various functional ligands for sensitive and convenient detection via signal amplification and transduction; while non-stimuli-responsive hydrogels are mainly used as solid-state encapsulating carriers for signal probe, nanomaterial, or cell and as conductive media. In addition, their existing challenges, future perspectives, and application prospects are discussed. These practices greatly enrich the application scenarios and improve the detection performance of hydrogel-based sensors in food safety detection.

Abstract
Building multifunctional platforms for integrating the detection and control of hazards has great significance in food safety and environment protection. Herein, bimetallic Fe-Co-based metal-organic frameworks (Fe-Co-MOFs) peroxidase mimics are prepared and applied to develop a bifunctional platform for the synergetic sensitive detection and controllable degradation of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1). On the one hand, Fe-Co-MOFs with excellent peroxidase-like activity are combined with target-induced catalyzed hairpin assembly (CHA) to construct a colorimetric aptasensor for the detection of AFB1. Specifically, the binding of aptamer with AFB1 releases the prelocked Trigger to initiate the CHA cycle between hairpin H2-modified Fe-Co-MOFs and hairpin H1-tethered magnetic nanoparticles to form complexes. After magnetic separation, the colorimetric signal of the supernatant in the presence of TMB and H2O2 is inversely proportional to the target contents. Under optimal conditions, this biosensor enables the analysis of AFB1 with a limit of detection of 6.44 pg/mL, and high selectivity and satisfactory recovery in real samples are obtained. On the other hand, Fe-Co-MOFs with remarkable Fenton-like catalytic degradation performance for organic contaminants are further used for the detoxification of AFB1 after colorimetric detection. The AFB1 is almost completely removed within 120 min. Overall, the introduction of CHA improves the sensing sensitivity; efficient postcolorimetric-detection degradation of AFB1 reduces the secondary contamination and risk to the experimental environment and operators. This strategy is expected to provide ideas for designing other multifunctional platforms to integrate the detection and degradation of various hazards.

Abstract
CRISPR-Cas (Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats-CRISPR associated proteins) systems are widely distributed in lactic acid bacteria (LAB), contributing to their RNA-mediated adaptive defense immunity. The CRISPR-Cas-based genetic tools have exhibited powerful capability. It has been highly utilized in different organisms, accelerating the development of life science. The review summarized the components, adaptive immunity mechanisms, and classification of CRISPR-Cas systems; analyzed the distribution and characteristics of CRISPR-Cas system in LAB. The review focuses on the development of CRISPR-Cas-based genetic tools in LAB for providing latest development and future trend. The diverse and broad applications of CRISPR-Cas systems in food/probiotic industry are introduced. LAB harbor a plenty of CRISPR-Cas systems, which contribute to generate safer and more robust strains with increased resistance against bacteriophage and prevent the dissemination of plasmids carrying antibiotic-resistance markers. Furthermore, the CRISPR-Cas system from LAB could be used to exploit novel, flexible, programmable genome editing tools of native host and other organisms, resolving the limitation of genetic operation of some LAB species, increasing the important biological functions of probiotics, improving the adaptation of probiotics in complex environments, and inhibiting the growth of foodborne pathogens. The development of the genetic tools based on CRISPR-Cas system in LAB, especially the endogenous CRISPR-Cas system, will open new avenues for precise regulation, rational design, and flexible application of LAB.

Abstract
Mycotoxin contamination of food crops is a global challenge due to their unpredictable occurrence and severe adverse health effects on humans. Therefore, it is of great importance to develop effective tools to prevent the accumulation of mycotoxins through the food chain. The use of magnetic nanoparticle (MNP)-assisted biosensors for detecting mycotoxin in complex foodstuffs has garnered great interest due to the significantly enhanced sensitivity and accuracy. Within such a context, this review includes the fundamentals and recent advances (2020-2023) in the area of mycotoxin monitoring in food matrices using MNP-based aptasensors and immunosensors. In this review, we start by providing a comprehensive introduction to the design of immunosensors (natural antibody or nanobody, random or site-oriented immobilization) and aptasensors (techniques for aptamer selection, characterization, and truncation). Meanwhile, special attention is paid to the multifunctionalities of MNPs (recoverable adsorbent, versatile carrier, and signal indicator) in preparing mycotoxin-specific biosensors. Further, the contribution of MNPs to the multiplexing determination of various mycotoxins is summarized. Finally, challenges and future perspectives for the practical applications of MNP-assisted biosensors are also discussed. The progress and updates of MNP-based biosensors shown in this review are expected to offer readers valuable insights about the design of MNP-based tools for the effective detection of mycotoxins in practical applications.

Abstract
Mycotoxins, secondary metabolites produced by mycotoxigenic fungi, are a major problem affecting food safety and security, because of their adverse health effects, their socio-economic impact and the difficulty of degradation or removal by conventional food processing methods. Plant-sourced natural products are a novel and effective control method for fungal infestation and mycotoxin production, with the advantages of biodegradability and acceptability for food use. However, development of resistance, low and inconsistent efficacy, and a limited range of antifungal activities hinder the effective application of single plant natural products for controlling mycotoxin contamination. To overcome these limitations, combinations of plant natural products have been tested extensively and found to increase efficacy, often synergistically. However, this extensive and promising research area has seen little development of practical applications. This review aims to provide up-to-date information on the antifungal, anti-mycotoxigenic and synergistic effects of combinations of plant natural products, as well as their mechanisms of action, to provide a reference source for future research and encourage application development.

Abstract
Strains of Penicillium spp. are used for fungi-ripened cheeses and Aspergillus spp. routinely contaminate maize and other crops. Some of these strains can produce toxic secondary metabolites (mycotoxins), including the neurotoxin α-cyclopiazonic acid (CPA). In this work, we developed a homogeneous upconversion-resonance energy transfer (UC-RET) immunoassay for the detection of CPA using a novel epitope mimicking peptide, or mimotope, selected by phage display. CPA-specific antibody was used to isolate mimotopes from a cyclic 7-mer peptide library in consecutive selection rounds. Enrichment of antibody binding phages was achieved, and the analysis of individual phage clones revealed four different mimotope peptide sequences. The mimotope sequence, ACNWWDLTLC, performed best in phage-based immunoassays, surface plasmon resonance binding analyses, and UC-RET-based immunoassays. To develop a homogeneous assay, upconversion nanoparticles (UCNP, type NaYF4:Yb3+, Er3+) were used as energy donors and coated with streptavidin to anchor the synthetic biotinylated mimotope. Alexa Fluor 555, used as an energy acceptor, was conjugated to the anti-CPA antibody fragment. The homogeneous single-step immunoassay could detect CPA in just 5 min and enabled a limit of detection (LOD) of 30 pg mL-1 (1.5 μg kg-1) and an IC50 value of 0.36 ng mL-1. No significant cross-reactivity was observed with other co-produced mycotoxins. Finally, we applied the novel method for the detection of CPA in spiked maize samples using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to a diode array detector (HPLC-DAD) as a reference method.

Abstract
In recent years, growing food safety and quality concerns have emerged and created an urgent need for the development of rapid and reliable food control technologies. This study proposes a novel surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrate printing technology that utilizes commercial filter paper functionalized by silver nanoparticles. We modified the Automatic TLC Sampler using a two-dimensional (2D) printer. The modification allows for various sampling modes which can be applied to 2D printing. The shape and size of nano silver on the substrate were determined, and the substrate sensitivity, uniformity, and stability were evaluated. As demonstrated by the experimental outcomes, the proposed technology is highly sensitive and reproducible, that is, the limit of quantitation was 10-5 mg/kg, and the spot-to-spot and block-to-block Raman intensity variations were below 4.2%. We also successfully applied the technology to pears and apples for thiram recognition, yielding outstanding detectability down to 2.5 × 10-6 and 3.9 × 10-7 mg/mL (equal to 2.5 × 10-3 and 3.9 × 10-4 mg/kg), respectively. These were well below the maximum residue limit (7 mg/kg). More importantly, the linear relationships between thiram levels and the SERS intensity allow for sensitive monitoring of minute variations in agricultural insecticide residues. This proposed detection method can realize in situ detection with a strong signal fingerprint.

Abstract
Mycotoxins in food are hazardous for animal and human health, resulting in food waste and exacerbating the critical global food security situation. In addition, they affect commerce, particularly the incomes of rural farmers. The grave consequences of these contaminants require a comprehensive strategy for their elimination to preserve consumer safety and regulatory compliance. Therefore, developing a policy framework and control strategy for these contaminants is essential to improve food safety. In this context, sensing approaches based on metal-organic frameworks (MOF) offer a unique tool for the quick and effective detection of pathogenic microorganisms, heavy metals, prohibited food additives, persistent organic pollutants (POPs), toxins, veterinary medications, and pesticide residues. This review focuses on the rapid screening of MOF-based sensors to examine food safety by describing the main features and characteristics of MOF-based nanocomposites. In addition, the main prospects of MOF-based sensors are highlighted in this paper. MOF-based sensing approaches can be advantageous for assessing food safety owing to their mobility, affordability, dependability, sensitivity, and stability. We believe this report will assist readers in comprehending the impacts of food jeopardy exposure, the implications on health, and the usage of metal-organic frameworks for detecting and sensing nourishment risks.
