In this paper, a new electrochemical sensor used for the determination of Amaranth in foods was reported, where a kind of porous graphene material-graphene nanomeshes (GNM) was employed as electrode modifying materials. The introduction of large pore density to the graphene sheets not only can in favor of more Amaranth molecules adsorbed to the surface of the working electrode through the pores, but also may benefit fast electron diffusion in the electrochemical detection process. So the GNM modified electrode enhanced its electrochemical signal obviously in the determination of Amaranth in foods and exhibited a wider linear response ranging from 5.0 × 10 − 9 to 1.0 × 10 − 6 M with a low detection limit of 7.0 × 10 − 10 M at a signal to noise ratio of 3. This work offers a new route in developing new electrochemical sensors for the determination of colorants additives and other hazard components in foods.

The detection of food pigments is essential for ensuring food quality and safety. This study presents the efficient preparation of fluorine-doped carbon quantum dots (F-CQDs) through a simple solvothermal reaction using Zanthoxylum and NH 4 F as precursors. The resulting F-CQDs displayed optimal fluorescence characteristics, along with a quantum yield of 4.81 %. Notably, the as-prepared F-CQDs exhibited excellent photostability and were effectively quenched by amaranth, demonstrating their potential as reliable probes for amaranth detection. The probe showed a strong linear response ( R 2 = 0.9992) to amaranth concentrations of 0.15–75 μM, yielding a limit of detection as low as 50 nM. Validation tests across various food matrices, including bayberry, a sugar-sweetened beverage, and candies, yielded good recovery rates of 89.0 %–119 % and a relative standard deviation of less than 4.9 % ( n = 5), indicating high reliability. These findings suggest that F-CQDs are viable candidates for detecting amaranth in foods, which can help enhance food safety and quality control.

Amaranth (AMA), a common food additive, is important to strictly control the content of food for the human body. In this paper, an innovative method based on intrinsic dual-emissive carbon dots (Y/B-CDs) was used to detect AMA. Y/B-CDs have two emission wavelengths at 416 and 544 nm with the excitation wavelength at 362 nm. The addition of AMA can rapidly quench the fluorescence of the two peaks with different degrees, and ratiometric detection can be achieved. Quantitative analysis showed two linear ranges of 0.1–20 μM and 20–80 μM, and detection limits are 42 and 33 nM, respectively. Moreover, good results were obtained for the detection of AMA in beverages and candy using Y/B-CDs. This suggests that the constructed sensor has the potential to detect AMA in real samples.

The synthesis of self-supporting material ZnMnO₂ by electrospinning and high-temperature calcination is reported. A highly sensitive electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor for Amaranth Red (AR) detection was constructed using Luminol@Ti₃AlC₂ and ZnMnO₂ with multi-step signal amplification. Luminol-O 2 served as the ECL probe with luminescent signal originating from its reaction with dissolved oxygen. Ti₃AlC₂ was introduced as the carrier to enhance the effective concentration of the ECL reagent and improve the signal. ZnMnO 2 as the co-reaction promoter could further improve the ECL value. The highest signal was attributed to the combined catalytic action of Luminol@Ti 3 AlC 2 and ZnMnO 2 . A new method for the detection of AR was developed due to the resonance energy transfer (RET) between Luminol and AR. Under optimal conditions, the response to AR exhibited a linear range from 5.0 × 10 −15 to 5.0 × 10 −5 mol·L −1 . The sensor achieved satisfactory AR detection in candy samples. Graphical

Herein, we prepared a self-crosslinked conductive molecularly imprinted gel (CMIG) using cationic guar gum (CGG), chitosan (CS), β-cyclodextrin (β-CD), amaranth (AM) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) by a simple one-pot low temperature magnetic stirring method. The imine bonds, hydrogen-bonding interactions and electrostatic attractions between CGG, CS and AM facilitated CMIG gelation , while β-CD and MWCNTs enhanced the adsorption capacity and conductivity of CMIG, respectively. Next, the CMIG was deposited onto the surface of a glassy carbon electrode (GCE). After selective removal of AM, a highly sensitive and selective CMIG-based electrochemical sensor was obtained for AM determination in foods. The CMIG allowed specific recognition of AM and could also be used for signal amplification , thus improving the sensitivity and selectivity of the sensor. Due to the high viscosity and self-healing properties of the CMIG, the developed sensor was very durable retaining a 92.1% of original current after 60 consecutive measurements. Under optimal conditions, the CMIG/GCE sensor showed a good linear response for AM detection (0.02–150 μM) with a limit of detection of 0.003 μM. AM recovery tests were performed in milk powder and white vinegar samples, yielding satisfactory recoveries (89.00%–111.00%). Furthermore, the levels of AM in two kinds of carbonated drinks were analyzed with the constructed sensor and an ultraviolet spectrophotometry method, with no significant difference found of the two methods. This work demonstrates that CMIG based electrochemical sensing platforms allow the cost-effective detection of AM, with the CMIG technology likely being widely applicable to the detection of other analytes .

An electrochemical sensor was fabricated by modifying nanoporous gold (NPG)-coated glassy carbon electrode (NPG/GCE) with functionalized graphene oxide /chitosan/ionic liquid nanocomposites (fGO/CS/IL). The introduction of ionic liquid (IL) and chitosan (CS) induced higher dispersibility of functionalized graphene oxide (fGO), and was beneficial for the combination of fGO/CS/IL with NPG/GCE. As a result of the synergistic effect of NPG and fGO/CS/IL, the resulted functionalized graphene oxide/chitosan/ionic liquid nanocomposites/nanoporous gold /glassy carbon electrode (fGO/CS/IL/NPG/GCE) showed the highest redox peak current response signal of Amaranth (E123) due to ultrahigh surface area, electronic conductivity as well as the improvement of the surface structure. Under optimized conditions, the enhanced peak currents represented excellent analytical performance for detection of Amaranth in the concentration range from 8.0 to 1200.0 nM. Meanwhile, the fGO/CS/IL/NPG/GCE presented satisfactory sensitivity and selectivity, excellent reproducibility, and long-time stability. For practical applications, the fGO/CS/IL/NPG/GCE was validated for the determination of Amaranth in three types of drinks with satisfactory results.

A new convenient method for identifying colorant compounds (CCs) in food matrices was developed using high-performance liquid chromatography with a diode array detector and quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometer (HPLC-DAD-Q/TOF-MS) combined with theoretical calculations. A model sample containing three typical CCs was completely separated via HPLC-DAD. The obtained 3D ultraviolet-visible (UV–vis) spectra revealed the maximum absorption wavelengths (MAWs) of all CCs (yellow, 430 nm; red, 520 nm; blue, 620 nm) in the range of 400–800 nm, and their colors were determined based on their MAWs. Temporary structures of the CCs were obtained using Q/TOF-MS analysis. Theoretical calculations were then performed to obtain the theoretical MAWs and colors of the CCs according to their calculated UV–vis spectra based on temporary structures. The structures of the CCs were confirmed without the need for authoritative standards by comparing the consistency between their experimental and theoretical MAWs and colors. This method is particularly suitable for identifying CCs or compounds with UV–Vis absorption, including new compounds, compounds for which standards are difficult to obtain, and known compounds without reporting relevant molecular information.

A dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction method based on high-density alkanol–hexafluoroisopropanol supramolecular solvent (alkanol–HFIP SUPRAS) coupled with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry is presented for microextraction and detection of four antipsychotics (aripiprazole, lurasidone, risperidone, and paliperidone) in urinary specimens. With octanol as the extractant and HFIP as the dispersant, SUPRAS-forming agent, and density regulator, reverse micelle aggregate-based SUPRAS spontaneously formed in urine, which acted as SUPRAS inducer and analytical sample. SUPRAS formation was not limited by sample pH or salt addition. The SUPRAS, located at the bottom layer of the sample solution due to its high density, was easily collected in trace volumes (~14 μL). Extraction conditions were studied and screened by the one-variable-at-a-time method, the Box–Behnken design, and response surface modeling. Optimal conditions provided low solvent consumption (70 μL of octanol and HFIP), short extraction time (40 s of vortex time), high extraction rate (61–78%), and good enrichment factor (44–55). There is a good linear relationship with correlation coefficients higher than 0.9959. Method limits of detection (S/N = 3) and quantification (S/N = 10) were in the ranges of 0.13–0.38 ng mL −1 and 0.42–1.28 ng mL −1 , respectively. Recoveries ranged from 94.0 to 120.3% with intra- and inter-day relative standard deviations less than 9.9%. The method also has satisfactory levels of eco-friendliness and sustainability (0.56 of AGREEprep score) with low matrix effects (87.4–113.0%). The method is a fast, simple, efficient, and environmentally benign procedure for microextraction and detection of antipsychotics in human urine.

PurposeThis study aims to produce composite pigments, including SHS/ZnAl-LDHs, IDS/ZnAl-LDHs and SNND/ZnAl-LDHs, with improved coloration, enhanced photostability and thermostability and biocompatibility.Design/methodology/approachThe chemical structures of the composite pigments were characterized by X-ray diffraction spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Photostability and thermal stability were assessed using ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy and colorimetry. The coverage of the dyes was determined through black-and-white tile testing, and specific RGB values were used to indicate color expressiveness. Finally, a four-color eyeshadow was formulated, and safety tests were conducted via human patch test and cellular assays to confirm the safety and reliability of the samples.FindingsThe experimental results demonstrate an enhancement in the photo and thermal stability of the SHS/ZnAl-LDHs, IDS/ZnAl-LDHs and SNND/ZnAl-LDHs composites, along with their superior performance in terms of covering power and color saturation. These composite pigments also exhibit high safety, making them well-suited for cosmetic applications.Practical implicationsThe composite pigments based on hydrotalcite can be used in the cosmetic industry without causing any harm to the environment and human health.Originality/valueThe addition of hydrotalcite enables better application of pigments in cosmetics.

This study investigated the transformation of an agricultural byproduct, pomelo peel, into an environmental purifier by crosslinking assisted surface amination process and its use in wastewater treatment application. Surface morphology and textural analysis showed that the functionalized surface-amidated pomelo peel (SA-PP) attained a lamellar structure with an average pore size of 6.52 nm and a specific surface area of 7.82 m² g −1 . Zeta potential measurements confirmed that SA-PP exhibits a positive surface charge within a pH range of 3–11. This surface characteristic facilitated the effective adsorption of anionic dyes by SA-PP, including amaranth red ( Q e = 497.15 mg g −1 ), methyl orange ( Q e = 247.93 mg g −1 ), bright blue ( Q e = 231.53 mg g −1 ), and lemon yellow ( Q e = 116.77 mg g −1 ), as well as heavy metal ions like hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI), Q e = 193.17 mg g −1 ). Further investigations on the adsorption of amaranth red and Cr(VI) indicated that SA-PP achieved equilibrium after 30 min. The process followed the pseudo-second-order and Langmuir isotherm models, indicating monolayer adsorption. The adsorption efficacy of SA-PP remained consistent across a wide range of pH levels. After five cycles, SA-PP was able to retain more than 60 % of its adsorption capacity, highlighting its potential as a sustainable, cost-effective, non-toxic, and biodegradable adsorbent for wastewater treatment applications.

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has been demonstrated as an ultrasensitive tool for various molecules. However, for the negatively charged molecules, the widely used SERS substrate [negatively charged Ag and Au nanoparticles (Ag or Au NPs (−)] showed either low sensitivity or poor stability. The best solution is to synthesize positively charged silver or gold nanoparticles [Ag or Au NPs (+)] with high stability and excellent SERS performance, which are currently unavailable. To this end, we revitalized the strategy of “charge reversal and seed growth”. By selection of ascorbic acid as the reductant and surfactant, the surface charge of Ag or Au NP (−) seeds is adjusted to a balanced state, where the surface charge is negative enough to satisfy the stabilization of the NPs (−) but does not hinder the subsequent charge reversal. By optimization of the chain length and electric charge of polyamine molecules, the highly stable and size-controllable uniform Ag NPs (+) and Au NPs (+) were seed-growth synthesized with high reproducibility. More importantly, the SERS performance of both Ag NPs (+) and Au NPs (+) achieved the trace detection of negatively charged molecules at the level of 1 μg/L, demonstrating an improved SERS sensitivity of up to 3 orders of magnitude compared to the previously reported sensitivity. Promisingly, the introduction of polyamine-capped Ag NPs (+) and Au NPs (+) as SERS substrates with high stability (1 year shelf life) will significantly broaden the application of SERS.

A promising electrochemical sensing platform for the detection of ponceau 4R in food has been fabricated based on the carboxylated graphene oxide (GO-COOH), metal–organic framework (MOF) UIO-66-NH 2 , and poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS). To this end GO-COOH was covalently coupled with UIO-66-NH 2 through amide reaction, endowing the material (GO-CONH-UIO-66) unique hierarchical pores and high chemical stability and as a result improving the conductivity of MOF and the dispersion of GO. After the addition of PEDOT:PSS into GO-CONH-UIO-66, the continuity and conductivity of the composite (PEDOT:PSS/GO-CONH-UIO-66) have been further enhanced, due to the high conductivity, favorable film-forming, and hydrophilic properties of PEDOT:PSS. Systematic electrochemical experiments confirm that the PEDOT:PSS/GO-CONH-UIO-66/GCE shows satisfactory electrochemical sensing properties towards the detection of ponceau 4R, with a wide linear detection range of 0.01–30 μM, a low limit of detection of 3.33 nM, and a high sensitivity of 0.606 μA μM −1 cm −2 . The PEDOT:PSS/GO-CONH-UIO-66 sensing platform was successfully used to detect ponceau 4R in beverage, and the detection results were compared with high-performance liquid chromatography. As a result, the PEDOT:PSS/GO-CONH-UIO-66 composite shows a promising application prospect for rapid detection of ponceau 4R in food and will play significant role in food safety detection and supervision.
