Chitosan nanoplatforms in agriculture for multi-potential applications - Adsorption/removal, sustained release, sensing of pollutants & delivering their alternatives - A comprehensive review. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 240:117447. [PMID: 37863167 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.117447] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2023] [Revised: 10/10/2023] [Accepted: 10/17/2023] [Indexed: 10/22/2023]
Abstract
An increase in the global population has led to an increment in the food consumption, which has demanded high food production. To meet the production demands, different techniques and technologies are adopted in agriculture the past 70 years, where utilization of the industry-manufactured/synthetic pesticides (SPTCs - e.g., herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, bactericides, nematicides, acaricides, avicides, and so on) is one of them. However, it has been later revealed that the usage of SPTCs has negatively impacted the environment - especially water and soil, and also agricultural products - mainly foods. Though preventive measures are taken by government agencies, still the utilization rate of SPTCs is high, and consequently, their maximum residual limit (MRL) levels in food are above tolerance, which further results in serious health concerns in humans. So, there is an immediate need for decreasing the utilization of the SPTCs by delivering them effectively at reduced levels in agriculture but with the required efficacy. Apart from that, it is mandatory to detect/sense and also to remove them to lessen the environmental pollution, while developing effective alternative techniques/technologies. Among many suitable materials that are developed/idenified, chitosan, a bio-polymer has gained great attention and is comprehensively implemented in all the above-mentioned applications - sensing, delivery and removal, due to their excellent and required properties. Though many works are available, in this work, a special attention is given to chitosan and its derivatives (i.e., chitosan nanoparticles (CNPs))based removal, controlled release and sensing of the SPTCs - specifically herbicides and insecticides. Moreover, the chitosan/CNPs-based protective effects on the in vivo models during/after their exposure to the SPTCs, and the current technologies like clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) as alternatives for SPTCs are also reviewed.

Gurusamy L, Cheng RW, Anandan S, Liu CH, Wu JJ. Detection of Environmentally Harmful Malathion Pesticides Using a Bimetallic Oxide of CuO Nanoparticles Dispersed over a 3D ZnO Nanoflower. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:7065. [PMID: 38004995 PMCID: PMC10672217 DOI: 10.3390/ma16227065] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2023] [Revised: 10/30/2023] [Accepted: 10/31/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023]
Abstract
Super-sensitive malathion detection was achieved using a nonenzymatic electrochemical sensor based on a CuO/ZnO-modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE). Due to the high affinity between the Cu element and the sulfur groups in malathion, the developed CuO-ZnO/GCE sensor may bond malathion with ease, inhibiting the redox signal of the Cu element when malathion is present. In addition to significantly increasing the ability of electron transfer, the addition of 3D-flower-like ZnO enhances active sites of the sensor interface for the high affinity of malathion, giving the CuO-ZnO/GCE composite an exceptional level of sensitivity and selectivity. This enzyme-free CuO-ZnO/GCE malathion sensor demonstrates outstanding stability and excellent detection performance under optimal operating conditions with a wide linear range of malathion from 0 to 200 nM and a low detection limit of 1.367 nM. A promising alternative technique for organophosphorus pesticide (OP) determination is offered by the analytical performance of the proposed sensor, and this method can be quickly and sensitively applied to samples that have been contaminated with these pesticides.

Abstract
Organophosphorus Pesticides (OPPs) are among the extensively used pesticides throughout the world to boost agricultural production. However, persistent residues of these toxic pesticides in various vegetables, fruits, and drinking water poses detrimental health effects. Consequently, the rapid monitoring of these harmful chemicals through simple and cost-effective methods has become crucial. In such an instance, electrochemical methods offer simple, rapid, sensitive, reproducible, and affordable detection pathways. To overcome the limitations associated with electrochemical enzymatic sensors, non-enzymatic sensors have emerged as promising and simpler alternatives. The non-enzymatic sensors have demonstrated superior activity, reaching detection limit up to femto (10-15) molar concentration in recent years, leveraging higher selectivity obtained through the molecularly imprinted polymers, synergistic effects between carbonaceous nanomaterials and metals, metal oxide alloys, and other alternative approaches. Herein, this review paper provides an overview of the recent advancements in the development of non-enzymatic electrochemical sensors for the detection of commonly used OPPs, such as Chlorpyrifos (CHL), Diazinon (DZN), Malathion (MTN), Methyl parathion (MP) and Fenthion (FEN). The design method of the electrodes, electrode functioning mechanism, and their analytical performance metrics, such as limit of detection, sensitivity, selectivity, and linearity range, were reviewed and compared. Furthermore, the existing challenges within this rapidly growing field were discussed along with their potential solutions which will facilitate the fabrication of advanced and sustainable non-enzymatic sensors in the future.

Abstract
A highly sensitive unlabeled electrochemical aptasensor based on hydroxylated black phosphorus/poly-L-lysine (hBP/PLL) composite is introduced herein for the detection of malathion. Poly-L-lysine (PLL) with adhesion and coating properties adhere to the surface of the nanosheets by noncovalent interactions with underlying hydroxylated black phosphorus nanosheets (hBP) to produce the hBP/PLL composite. The as-synthesized hBP/PLL composite bonded to Au nanoparticles (Au NPs) firmly by assembling and using them as a substrate for the aptamer with high specificity as a probe to fabricate the sensor. Under optimal conditions, the linear range of the electrochemical aptasensor was 0.1 pM~1 μM, and the detection limit was 2.805 fM. The electrochemical aptasensor has great selectivity, a low detection limit, and anti-interference, which has potential application prospects in the field of rapid trace detection of pesticide residues.

Abstract
Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) were made via a hydrothermal process with glucose as a precursor undergoing carbonization. Different spectroscopic techniques were used to analyze the optical characteristics of GQDs, including UV-visible, photoluminescence, FTIR, and Raman spectroscopy. Atomic force microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction were used to characterize the morphological and structural properties of GQDs. An electrochemical sensor was developed by drop casting GQDs on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The sensor detects the organophosphate pesticide malathion in a selective and sensitive manner. Using cyclic voltammetry, the sensor's oxidation-reduction behavior was investigated. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was conducted to study the electrochemical properties of the modified the GQDs/GCE working electrode, which showed excellent charge transfer properties. We measured malathion in varying concentrations between 1 to 30 µM using differential pulse voltammetry, which resulted in a limit of detection of 0.62 nM. GQDs can thus be used to develop electrochemical sensors for the detection of pesticides in water.

Abstract
The excessive and unreasonable use of pesticides has adversely affected the environment and human health. The soil, one of the most critical natural resources supporting human survival and development, accumulates large amounts of pesticide residues. Compared to traditional spectrophotometry analytical methods, nanoparticle-based sensors stand out for their simplicity of operation as well as their high sensitivity and low detection limits. In this review, we focus primarily on the functions that various nanoparticles have and how they can be used to detect various pesticide residues in soil. A detailed discussion was conducted on the properties of nanoparticles, including their color changeability, Raman enhancement, fluorescence enhancement and quenching, and catalysis. We have also systematically reviewed the methodology for detecting insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides in soil by using nanoparticles.

Abstract
Emerging materials integrated into high performance flexible electronics to detect environmental contaminants have received extensive attention worldwide. The accurate detection of widespread organophosphorus (OP) compounds in the environment is crucial due to their high toxicity even at low concentrations, which leads to acute health concerns. Therefore, developing rapid, highly sensitive, reliable, and facile analytical sensing techniques is necessary to monitor environmental, ecological, and food safety risks. Although enzyme-based sensors have better sensitivity, their practical usage is hindered due to their low specificity and stability. Therefore, among various detection methods of OP compounds, this review article focuses on the progress made in the development of enzyme-free electrochemical sensors as an effective nostrum. Further, the novel materials used in these sensors and their properties, synthesis methodologies, sensing strategies, analytical methods, detection limits, and stability are discussed. Finally, this article summarizes potential avenues for future prospective electrochemical sensors and the current challenges of enhancing the performance, stability, and shelf life.

Abstract
In this study, nanostructured gold was successfully prepared on a bare Au electrode using the electrochemical deposition method. Nanostructured gold provided more exposed active sites to facilitate the ion and electron transfer during the electrocatalytic reaction of organophosphorus pesticide (methyl parathion). The morphological and structural characterization of nanostructured gold was conducted using field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD), which was further carried out to evaluate the electrocatalytic activity towards methyl parathion sensing. The electrochemical performance of nanostructured gold was investigated by electrochemical measurements (cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV)). The proposed nanostructured gold-modified electrode exhibited prominent electrochemical methyl parathion sensing performance (including two linear concentration ranges from 0.01 to 0.5 ppm (R2 = 0.993) and from 0.5 to 4 ppm (R2 = 0.996), limit of detection of 5.9 ppb, excellent selectivity and stability), and excellent capability in determination of pesticide residue in real fruit and vegetable samples (bok choy and strawberry). The study demonstrated that the presented approach to fabricate a nanostructured gold-modified electrode could be practically applied to detect pesticide residue in agricultural products via integrating the electrochemical and gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC/MS-MS) analysis.

Abstract
This work presents, for the first time, a fast and highly sensitive electrochemical method for determination of three organophosphorus compounds (OPs), diazinon (DZN), malathion (MLT), and chlorpyrifos (CLPF), using a modified pyrolytic graphite electrode (PGE) coupled to batch injection analysis system with multiple pulse amperometric detection (BIA-MPA). The PGE was modified by a nanocomposite based on functionalized carbon nanotubes (CNTf) and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The OPs samples were directly analyzed on the modified working electrode surface by BIA-MPA system in Britton-Robinson (BR) buffer 0.15 mol L-1 at pH 6.0. The MPA detection of DZN, MLT and CLPF was performed using two potential pulses, which were sequentially applied on modified PGE at -1.3 V (100 ms) and +0.8 V (100 ms) for selective determination of these three OPs and working electrode cleaning, respectively. Under optimized conditions, the sensor presented a linear range of 0.1-20 μmol L-1 for DZN, 1.0-30 μmol L-1 for MLT and from 0.25 to 50 μmol L-1 for CLPF. The limits of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) of 0.35 and 1.18 μmol L-1 for DZN, 0.89 and 2.98 μmol L-1 for MLT, and 0.53 and 1.78 μmol L-1 for CLPF were obtained. The proposed method exhibited high sensitivity of 0.068, 0.030 and 0.043 mA L μmol-1 for DZN, MLT and CLPF detection, respectively. Furthermore, the BIA-MPA system provided an analytical frequency of 71 determinations per hour for direct determination of these OPs in water and food samples. The modified PGE coupled to BIA-MPA system showed a high stability of electrochemical response for OPs detection with relative standard deviation (RSD) of 1.60% (n = 20). The addition-recovery studies of the proposed method were carried out in tap water, orange juice, and apple fruit real samples, which showed suitable recovery values between 77 and 124%. The analytical performance of the developed sensor provides an attractive alternative method for OPs determination with great potential for a fast and sensitive application in contaminated samples with these pesticides.

Abstract
Surfactant stabilized Gold (Au) nanomaterials (NMs) have been documented extensively in recent years for numerous sensing applications in the academic literature. Despite the crucial role these surfactants play in the sensing applications, the comprehensive reviews that highlights the fundamentals associated with these assemblies and impact of these surfactants on the properties and sensing mechanisms are still quite scare. This review is an attempt in organizing the vast literature associated with this domain by providing critical insights into the fundamentals, preparation methodologies and sensing mechanisms of these surfactant stabilized Au NMs. For the simplification, the surfactants are divided into the typical and advanced surfactants and the Au NMs are classified into Au nanoparticles (NPs) and Au nanoclusters (NCs) depending upon the complexity in structure and size of the NMs respectively. The preparative methodologies are also elaborated for enhancing the understanding of the readers regarding such assemblies. The case studies regarding surfactant stabilized Au NMs were further divided into colorimetric sensors, surface plasmonic resonance (SPR) based sensors, luminescence-based sensors, and electrochemical/electrical sensors depending upon the property utilized by the sensor for the sensing of an analyte. Future perspectives are also discussed in detail for the researchers looking for further progress in that particular research domain.

Abstract
The evolution of biosensors and diagnostic devices has been thriving in its ability to provide reliable tools with simplified operation steps. These evolutions have paved the way for further advances in sensing materials, strategies, and device structures. Polymeric composite materials can be formed into nanostructures and networks of different types, including hydrogels, vesicles, dendrimers, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP), etc. Due to their biocompatibility, flexibility, and low prices, they are promising tools for future lab-on-chip devices as both manufacturing materials and immobilization surfaces. Polymers can also allow the construction of scaffold materials and 3D structures that further elevate the sensing capabilities of traditional 2D biosensors. This review discusses the latest developments in nano-scaled materials and synthesis techniques for polymer structures and their integration into sensing applications by highlighting their various structural advantages in producing highly sensitive tools that rival bench-top instruments. The developments in material design open a new door for decentralized medicine and public protection that allows effective onsite and point-of-care diagnostics.

Recent Progress in Non-Enzymatic Electroanalytical Detection of Pesticides Based on the Use of Functional Nanomaterials as Electrode Modifiers. BIOSENSORS 2022; 12:bios12050263. [PMID: 35624564 PMCID: PMC9139166 DOI: 10.3390/bios12050263] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2022] [Revised: 04/09/2022] [Accepted: 04/14/2022] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
This review presents recent advances in the non-enzymatic electrochemical detection and quantification of pesticides, focusing on the use of nanomaterial-based electrode modifiers and their corresponding analytical response. The use of bare glassy carbon electrodes, carbon paste electrodes, screen-printed electrodes, and other electrodes in this research area is presented. The sensors were modified with single nanomaterials, a binary composite, or triple and multiple nanocomposites applied to the electrodes’ surfaces using various application techniques. Regardless of the type of electrode used and the class of pesticides analysed, carbon-based nanomaterials, metal, and metal oxide nanoparticles are investigated mainly for electrochemical analysis because they have a high surface-to-volume ratio and, thus, a large effective area, high conductivity, and (electro)-chemical stability. This work demonstrates the progress made in recent years in the non-enzymatic electrochemical analysis of pesticides. The need for simultaneous detection of multiple pesticides with high sensitivity, low limit of detection, high precision, and high accuracy remains a challenge in analytical chemistry.

Abstract
The ever-growing exploitation of pesticides and their lethal effects on living beings have made it a dire need of the day to develop an accurate and reliable approach for their monitoring at trace levels. The designing of an enzyme-free electrocatalyst to electrochemically detect the pesticide residues is currently gaining much importance. In this study, a novel redox-sensing film was constructed successfully based on cobalt-substituted Dawson-type polyoxometalate [P2W17O61 (Co2+·OH2)]7- (Co-POM) and polyethylene imine (PEI)-capped silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). A nanohybrid assembly was fabricated on a glassy carbon electrode's surface by alternately depositing Co-POM and PEI-AgNPs using the layer-by-layer self-assembly method. The surface morphology of the immobilized CoPOM/AgNP multilayer nanoassembly was analyzed through scanning electron microscopy along with energy-dispersive spectroscopy for elemental analysis. The redox properties and surface morphologies of fabricated assemblies were evaluated by cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The practicability and feasibility of the proposed sensing layer was tested for the detection of a highly toxic insecticide, that is, carbofuran. The fabricated sensor exhibited a limit of detection of 0.1 mM with a sensitivity of 13.11 μA mM-1 for carbofuran. The results depicted that the fabricated nonenzymatic hybrid film showed excellent electrocatalytic efficiency for the carbofuran oxidation. Furthermore, the obtained value of "apparent Km", that is, 0.4 mM, illustrates a good electro-oxidation activity of the sensor for the detection of carbofuran. The exceptionally stable redox activity of Co-POM, high surface area and greater conductivity of AgNPs, and the synergistic effect of all components of the film resulted in an excellent analytical performance of the proposed sensing assembly. This work provides a new direction to the progress and designing of nonenzymatic electrochemical sensors for pesticide determination in real samples.

Abstract
In the present study, a peptide nanotube functionalized polydopamine (p-Dop) based molecularly imprinted (MIP) sensor system was constructed, characterized, and studied for the impedimetric sensing of an organophosphorus pesticide, malathion (MLT). Electropolymerization in the presence of a template (MLT) was utilized as a convenient and effective strategy to generate imprinted p-Dop films on peptide nanotubes (PNTs) modified graphite electrodes (PGEs). Upon the removal of template, the adsorption of MLT on the specific cavities formed in the MIP film was tracked using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). To attain optimal sensor response, experimental conditions, such as film thickness, analyte/functional monomer ratio, and desorption/adsorption time, were analyzed. The obtained MIP(p-Dop)-PNT-PGE sensor exhibited high sensitivity for electrochemical MLT analysis with a wide dynamic detection range of 13 pg mL-1 - 1.3 µg mL-1 and a LOD of 1.39 pg mL-1. The combination of a bio-inspired p-Dop-based MIP with the EIS technique allowed excellent sensitivity and selectivity toward MLT sensing which also yielded high recoveries in real samples. The success of this research strategy in real samples revealed its potential for various future environmental applications.

Abstract
Organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs) are generally utilized for the protection of crops from pests. Because the use of OPPs in various agricultural operations has expanded dramatically, precise monitoring of their concentration levels has become the critical issue, which will help in the protection of ecological systems and food supply. However, the World Health Organization (WHO) has classified them as extremely dangerous chemical compounds. Taking their immense use and toxicity into consideration, the development of easy, rapid and highly sensitive techniques is necessary. Despite the fact that there are numerous conventional ways for detecting OPPs, the development of portable sensors is required to make routine analysis considerably more convenient. Some of these advanced techniques include colorimetric sensors, fluorescence sensors, molecular imprinted polymer-based sensors, and surface plasmon resonance-based sensors. This review article specifically focuses on the colorimetric, fluorescence and electrochemical sensors. In this article, the sensing strategies of these developed sensors, analytical conditions and their respective limit of detection are compiled.

Abstract
Herein, a novel signal-on photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor with nearly zero background noise (ZBN) was first fabricated to determine the presence of organophosphorus pesticide based on in situ formation of DNA-templated Ag2S photoactive materials, accompanied by hybridization chain reaction (HCR) signal amplification. The capture probe (S1) on the gold nanoparticle-modified electrode can hybridize with the aptamer molecule to generate a simple PEC biosensor. In the presence of a target molecule, the aptamer molecule is released on the double-stranded DNA (dsDNA)-modified PEC biosensor. Meanwhile, the capture probe remains on the electrode and can open the DNA hairpins (H1, H2) which are rich in cytosine, to trigger the HCR reaction. The rich "C" strands are uncovered after formation of a long dsDNA polymer strand, which can assemble multiple silver ions (Ag+) by means of by C-Ag+-C chelation. Then, a large number of Ag2S can be generated by challenging with S2- solution, producing a satisfactory photocurrent signal. The photoactive material is formed in situ, which eliminates the laborious operation. Moreover, the signal can be highly amplified with nearly zero background noise and HCR signal amplification. Under optimal conditions, the ZBN aptasensor exhibited high sensitivity and selectivity, with a low detection limit of 2 pg mL-1 for malathion. Importantly, the sensing platform can also be applied to determine the presence of malathion in real samples. In this assay, a novel signal-on photoelectrochemical biosensor with nearly zero background noise was first fabricated to determine the presence of organophosphorus pesticide based on in situ formation of DNA-templated Ag2S photoactive materials, accompanied by hybridization chain reaction signal amplification.

Abstract
This study proposes the development of an electrochemical sensor based on fabrication of a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) with Fe3O4-polyaniline (Fe3O4-PANI) nanocomposite, which was further used for enzyme-less detection of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) in aqueous medium. Spectroscopic studies, microstructural studies, and elemental analysis established the formation of Fe3O4 nanoparticles with polyaniline coating. The fabricated Fe3O4-PANI-GCE was characterized by electrochemical techniques like cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The electrochemical response of 2,4-D on Fe3O4-PANI-GCE was evaluated by performing cyclic voltammetry and amperometry experiments. The synergistic effect of the composite causes the superior electrochemical behavior of Fe3O4-PANI-GCE toward the detection of 2,4-D. Amperometric measurements exhibited a linear concentration range from 1.35 to 2.7 μM. The sensitivity and detection limit were evaluated from the amperometric responses, which were found to be 4.62 × 10-7 μA μM-1 cm-2 and 0.21 μM, respectively. The electrochemical sensing response could be attributed to adsorption of 2,4-D onto the Fe3O4-PANI-modified GCE (Fe3O4-PANI-GCE) surface. Fe3O4-PANI-GCE is found to be a simple, low-cost, and biocompatible non-enzymatic sensor for detection of 2,4-D in aqueous medium at ambient temperature.

Owing to the high toxicity and large-scale use of pesticides, it is imperative to develop selective, sensitive, portable, and convenient sensors for rapid monitoring of pesticide. Therefore, the electrochemical detection platform offers a promising analytical approach since it is easy to operate, economical, efficient, and user-friendly. Meanwhile, with advances in functional nanomaterials and aptamer selection technologies, numerous sensitivity-enhancement techniques alongside a widespread range of smart nanomaterials have been merged to construct novel aptamer probes to use in the biosensing field. Hence, this study intends to highlight recent development and promising applications on the functional nanomaterials with aptamers for pesticides detection based on electrochemical strategies. We also reviewed the current novel aptamer-functionalized microdevices for the portability of pesticides sensors. Furthermore, the major challenges and future prospects in this field are also discussed to provide ideas for further research.

A Cationic Surfactant-Decorated Liquid Crystal-Based Aptasensor for Label-Free Detection of Malathion Pesticides in Environmental Samples. BIOSENSORS-BASEL 2021; 11:bios11030092.

Abstract
We report a liquid crystal (LC)-based aptasensor for the detection of malathion using a cationic surfactant-decorated LC interface. In this method, LCs displayed dark optical images when in contact with aqueous cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) solution due to the formation of a self-assembled CTAB monolayer at the aqueous/LC interface, which induced the homeotropic orientation of LCs. With the addition of malathion aptamer, the homeotropic orientation of LCs changed to a planar one due to the interactions between CTAB and the aptamer, resulting in a bright optical image. In the presence of malathion, the formation of aptamer-malathion complexes caused a conformational change of the aptamers, thereby weakening the interactions between CTAB and the aptamers. Therefore, CTAB is free to induce a homeotropic ordering of the LCs, which corresponds to a dark optical image. The developed sensor exhibited high specificity for malathion determination and a low detection limit of 0.465 nM was achieved. Moreover, the proposed biosensor was successfully applied to detect malathion in tap water, river water, and apple samples. The proposed LC-based aptasensor is a simple, rapid, and convenient platform for label-free monitoring of malathion in environmental samples.

An acetylcholinesterase-based biosensor for the detection of pesticides using liquid crystals confined in microcapillaries. Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2021; 200:111587.

Abstract
Here, we demonstrate a capillary-sensing platform based on liquid crystals (LCs) confined in microcapillaries for simple and sensitive detection of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and its inhibitors. LC droplets were formed through sequential injection of LCs and an aqueous solution into trichloro(octyl)silane (OTS)-treated microcapillaries. When the confined LC droplets make contact with a cationic surfactant solution, myristoylcholine chloride (Myr), the formation of a Myr monolayer at the aqueous/LC interface induces a horizontal orientation of the LCs at the interface along the microcapillary, producing an optical LC droplet texture of a four-petal shape. On the other hand, AChE can catalyze the hydrolysis of Myr into choline and myristic acid. The hydrolyzed Myr is unable to form a monolayer at the aqueous/LC interface, and therefore the confined LC droplets exhibit two bright-lined optical images when in contact with the pre-incubated mixture of Myr and AChE, corresponding to the homeotropic orientation of LCs at the interface. However, in the presence of AChE-inhibiting pesticides, such as fenobucarb and malathion, the activity of AChE is inhibited, and thus, the enzymatic hydrolysis of Myr cannot occur. As a result, the confined LC droplets present the four petal-shaped optical images when in contact with the pre-incubated mixture of Myr, AChE, and pesticides. Based on this principle, an LC-based microcapillary sensor was developed and utilized for the detection of pesticides. Using this sensing platform, fenobucarb and malathion were detected at limits of 5 pg/mL and 2.5 pg/mL, respectively. Moreover, the proposed biosensor was successfully applied to the determination of pesticides in real river water. Therefore, this LC-based microcapillary sensor is a promising platform for simple, rapid, and label-free detection of pesticides with very high sensitivity.

Abstract
A portable non-enzymatic electrochemical sensor for malathion detection based on CuFe2O4 and reduced graphene oxide nanocomposites was developed. CuFe2O4-rGO nanocomposites were synthesized using a facile one-pot co-precipitation method. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy confirmed successful synthesis of the nanocomposites. Square wave voltammetry was performed using a portable potentiostat (CheapStat) and a three-electrode setup in order to determine the electrochemical behavior of the nanocomposite and its interaction with malathion. Maximum inhibition was observed at conditions corresponding to 15% rGO loading, pH 4 buffer solution, and five-minute accumulation time. Calibration of the sensor established a linear detection range of 0.5-8 ppm and a detection limit of 0.992 ± 0.007 ppm. Altogether, the performance parameters indicate good selectivity and potential applicability of the system for malathion monitoring particularly in agricultural products.

Ultrasensitive Electrochemical Detection of Clostridium perfringens DNA Based Morphology-Dependent DNA Adsorption Properties of CeO₂ Nanorods in Dairy Products. SENSORS 2018; 18:s18061878. [PMID: 29890646 PMCID: PMC6022109 DOI: 10.3390/s18061878] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2018] [Revised: 06/04/2018] [Accepted: 06/06/2018] [Indexed: 01/04/2023]
Abstract
Foodborne pathogens such as Clostridium perfringens can cause diverse illnesses and seriously threaten to human health, yet far less attention has been given to detecting these pathogenic bacteria. Herein, two morphologies of nanoceria were synthesized via adjusting the concentration of NaOH, and CeO₂ nanorod has been utilized as sensing material to achieve sensitive and selective detection of C. perfringens DNA sequence due to its strong adsorption ability towards DNA compared to nanoparticle. The DNA probe was tightly immobilized on CeO₂/chitosan modified electrode surface via metal coordination, and the DNA surface density was 2.51 × 10−10 mol/cm². Under optimal experimental conditions, the electrochemical impedance biosensor displays favorable selectivity toward target DNA in comparison with base-mismatched and non-complementary DNA. The dynamic linear range of the proposed biosensor for detecting oligonucleotide sequence of Clostridium perfringens was from 1.0 × 10−14 to 1.0 × 10−7 mol/L. The detection limit was 7.06 × 10−15 mol/L. In comparison, differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) method quantified the target DNA with a detection limit of 1.95 × 10−15 mol/L. Moreover, the DNA biosensor could detect C. perfringens extracted DNA in dairy products and provided a potential application in food quality control.
