Principles Of Fluorescence Spectroscopy

Molecularly imprinted polymers are synthetic receptors for a targeted molecule. As such, they are analogues of the natural antibody–antigen systems. In this review, after a recounting of the early history of the general field, we specifically focus on the application of these polymers as sensors. In these applications, the polymers are paired with a reporting system, which may be electrical, electrochemical, optical, or gravimetric. The presence of the targeted molecule effects a change in the reporting agent, and a calibrated quantity of the target is recorded. In this review, we describe the imprinted polymer production processes, the techniques used for reporting, and the applications of the reported sensors. A brief survey of recent applications to gas-phase sensing is included, but the focus is primarily on the development of sensors for targets in solution. Included among the applications are those designed to detect toxic chemicals, toxins in foods, drugs, explosives, and pathogens. The application...

Berries, especially members of several families, such as Rosaceae (strawberry, raspberry, blackberry), and Ericaceae (blueberry, cranberry), belong to the best dietary sources of bioactive compounds (BAC) They have delicious taste and flavor, have economic importance, and because of the antioxidant properties of BAC, they are of great interest also for nutritionists and food technologists due to the opportunity to use BAC as functional foods ingredients The bioactive compounds in berries contain mainly phenolic compounds (phenolic acids, flavonoids, such as anthocyanins and flavonols, and tannins) and ascorbic acid These compounds, either individually or combined, are responsible for various health benefits of berries, such as prevention of inflammation disorders, cardiovascular diseases, or protective effects to lower the risk of various cancers In this review bioactive compounds of commonly consumed berries are described, as well as the factors influencing their antioxidant capacity and their health benefits

Bioactive Compounds and Antioxidant Activity in Different Types of Berries

Food safety is a prevalent concern around the world. As such, detection, removal, and control of risks and hazardous substances present from harvest to consumption will always be necessary. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), a class of functional materials, possess unique physical and chemical properties, demonstrating promise in food safety applications. In this review, the synthesis and porosity of MOFs are first introduced by some representative examples that pertain to the field of food safety. Following that, the application of MOFs and MOF-based materials in food safety monitoring, food processing, covering preservation, sanitation, and packaging is overviewed. Future perspectives, as well as potential opportunities and challenges faced by MOFs in this field will also be discussed. This review aims to promote the development and progress of MOF chemistry and application research in the field of food safety, potentially leading to novel solutions.

Metal-Organic Frameworks for Food Safety.

Information on dissipation kinetics of pesticides in food crops and other plants is a key aspect in current risk and impact assessment practice. This is because human exposure to pesticides is predominantly caused by residues in agricultural crops grown for human and animal consumption. However, modeling dissipation of pesticides in plants is highly uncertain and therefore strongly relies on experimental data. Unfortunately, available information on pesticide dissipation in plants from experimental studies only covers a small fraction of possible combinations of substances authorized for use on food and fodder crops. Additionally, aspects and processes influencing dissipation kinetics are still not fully understood. Therefore, we systematically reviewed 811 scientific literature sources providing 4513 dissipation half-lives of 346 pesticides measured in 183 plant species. We focused on the variability across substances, plant species and harvested plant components and finally discuss different substance, ...

Variability of pesticide dissipation half-lives in plants

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have shown considerable prospects for sensing pesticide residues. However, the low stability of MOFs in water hinders them from testing food and environmental samples. Herein, we report an easy and cost-efficient synthesis of a water-stable zirconium luminescent MOF (Zr-LMOF) and its application for rapid, sensitive, and in situ detection of organophosphorous pesticides (OPPs). The Zr-MOF is prepared using Zr(IV) and 1,2,4,5-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)benzene. The synthesized Zr-LMOF rapidly absorbs trace amounts of OPP parathion-methyl and indicates its presence. A low limit of detection of 0.115 μg kg-1 (0.438 nM) with a wide linear range from 70 μg kg-1 to 5.0 mg kg-1 was achieved. Satisfactory recoveries ranging from 78% to 107% were obtained for spiked food and environmental samples. Further, the Zr-LMOF was applied to imitate rapid and in situ imaging detection of pesticide residue on fresh produce nondestructively; visual signals appeared under ultraviolet light within 5 min. These results suggest that the Zr-LMOF has the potential for low-cost, rapid, and in situ imaging detection of OPPs contamination via easy-to-read visual signal.

A Water-Stable Luminescent Metal-Organic Framework for Rapid and Visible Sensing of Organophosphorus Pesticides.

This work reports a highly luminescent metal-organic framework (MOF) with high surface area of 4073.9 m2 g−1, exhibiting an excellent adsorption ability and sensing performance in rapidly detecting parathion-methyl. This is an excellent example of luminescent MOFs to sensitively detect pesticides by fluorescent quenching with satisfactory results. This sensor provides a very wide linear detection range from 1.0 μg kg−1 to 10 mg kg−1, and low limit of detection 0.12 μg kg−1 (0.456 nM) for parathion-methyl. This low detection limit is much lower than the maximum residue limits (MRL) in the European Union pesticides database (0.01 mg kg−1 for fruits and vegetables, 0.02 mg kg−1 for tree nuts), as well as those of previous assays. The quenching effect of parathion-methyl is attributed to the electron-rich chemical group of nitroaromatics which might lead to photo-induced electron transfer. The fluorescent method has been reliably used for the determination of parathion-methyl in spiked irrigation water with satisfactory results, which suggests its potential for rapid detection of pesticides in food and environmental sample.

Sensitive detection of pesticides by a highly luminescent metal-organic framework

Facile synthesis of a core-shell structured magnetic covalent organic framework for enrichment of organophosphorus pesticides in fruits.

A simple and sensitive enantioselective method for the determination of fenbuconazole and myclobutanil in strawberry was developed by high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). Fenbuconazole and myclobutanil residues in strawberry were extracted with acetonitrile containing 1% acetic acid, and an aliquot was cleaned up with PSA (primary and secondary amine) and C18 sorbent. The direct resolution of fenbuconazole and myclobutanil enantiomers was performed on a cellulose tris (3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) column using acetonitrile–0.1% formic acid solution (60:40, v/v) as the mobile phase. Quantification was achieved using matrix-matched standard calibration curves, and the limits of quantification for fenbuconazole and myclobutanil enantiomers in strawberry were both 2 μg/kg. The method was successfully utilized to investigate the probable enantioselective degradation of fenbuconazole and myclobutanil in strawberry. The results showed that the degradation of the fenbucona...
