Determination of environmental contaminants such as trace formaldehyde mostly relies on bulky and costly analytical equipment. However, a particular demand for portable, rapid, and sensitive method that can be used in resource-limited settings has received paramount concern. Towards this need, we are presenting here a rational design of colorimetric sensor strips using electrospun cellulose nanofibrous membrane-immobilized pararosaniline. Based on the specific reaction between formaldehyde and pararosaniline, the strips could undergo a distinct color transition from light pink to purple, specifically in the presence of trace-level formaldehyde over other possible interferential volatile organic compounds. Benefiting from the large specific surface area and high porosity of nanofibrous membranes, the strips achieved ultralow naked eye detection limit of 0.06 mg m −3 (below the regulatory level of 0.1 mg m −3 ), wide linear range from 0.12 to 6 mg m −3 , and short response time (15 min) in the absence of advanced instrumentation. Additionally, the sensing responses were visualized quantitatively by HSI coordinates which are presented with lightness and chromatic values and analyzed by a principal component analysis method. Furthermore, the strips exhibited remarkably improved analytical performance compared to commercial filter paper-based ones. With its cost-effective design and portability, this sensitive and specific colorimetric strips could potentially be used for providing air contamination information.

Acid orange II (AO2) is a synthetic azo dye commonly used illegally in food production and processing. The development of a fast and effective analytical method is crucial for controlling the unlawful use of AO2 in food, especially in seasoning. Here, an antibody specific for AO2 was generated, with 1.01 ng/mL IC 50 and minimal cross-reactivity with other analogs (<1 %, including sunset yellow , tartrazine , para red, chromotrope FB, Sudan Ⅰ, rhodamine B , 2-naphthol, amaranth , ponceau 4 R and allura red AC). Furthermore, a highly sensitive quantum dot beads-based fluorescence immunochromatography assay (QBs-FICA) was established for AO2 determination. The assay had a working range of 23–287 μg/kg with a 11 μg/kg limit of detection (LOD) in chili powder and hotpot seasoning samples. Using spiked samples, the results of QBs-FICA were found to be consistent with those of liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. This indicates that QBs-FICA is a reliable, rapid, and portable tool for testing of AO2.

Para Red (PR) has been isolated from food additives, and shown to be toxic to humans. To facilitate examination of its toxicity, the interaction between PR and serum albumins (SA) was studied using fluorescence quenching and circular dichroism (CD) spectrophotometry. The experiments showed that the fluorescence intensity of serum albumins decreased with increasing concentrations of PR, which resulted from the binding of PR and SA. The binding constant, number of binding sites and thermodynamic parameters were calculated and hydrogen bond and van der Waals interactions were shown to play a key role in the binding process. Competition experiments indicated that PR mainly binds to Trp residues of SA within the site I. As the CD and three-dimensional spectra revealed, the addition of PR induced a conformational change in SA. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Edible colorants, as an essential external condition of food products, can increase people’s appetite. Some businesses have used some cheap and illegal dyes instead of edible colorants to gain benefits. It not only deceives consumers, but also seriously endangers their health. In this work, two chemometric algorithms assisted high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection (HPLC-DAD) were proposed for screening and quantifying twelve azo dyes illegally added into different food products. All analytes were successfully eluted within 6.5 min. With the aid of the prominent “second-order advantage” of the chemometric algorithms, the overlapping peaks and unknown interferences were solved. The spiked average recoveries obtained by alternating trilinear decomposition (ATLD) and multivariate curve resolution-alternating least squares (MCR-ALS) were 82.8–111.5% with standard deviation (SD) less than 6.5% and 78.7–122.6% with SD less than 18.7%, respectively. The limits of detection were 0.01–2.56 mg kg −1 and 0.01–2.95 mg kg −1 , respectively. The results indicated that two algorithms had practical value for the simultaneous and rapid screening and determination of azo dyes in food products. Compared with other methods based on HPLC, the proposed method could flexibly handle different interferences, and had the advantages of high efficiency, simple operation and being environmentally friendly.
