Drawing on the structure of the natural horseradish peroxidase (HRP) active site, in this study, food-borne Melanoidin and Fe 3+ were used to construct a peroxide mimic enzyme, which possessed excellent peroxidase (POD)-like activity with the Km values of 0.088 mM and 0.358 mM toward 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) and hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ), respectively. Given the good POD-like activity of Melanoidin/Fe 3+ , a convenient, selective, and sensitive method for the determination of ascorbic acid (AA) was defined. The method covered the 10–100 μM AA concentration range with a 1.19 μM detection limit. With favorable anti-interference and strong stability, Melanoidin/Fe 3+ was successfully applied to the determination of AA in foods and medicines. The high activity of Melanoidin/Fe 3+ provides a new strategy for designing high-performance nanozymes, which has great potential in exogenous dietary and healthcare applications.

Bacterial urinary tract infections cause huge challenges to public health and require rapid diagnostic methods, while lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) belongs to the most known point-of-care detection technology. Capture-antibody (CA) is used for labeling targets in traditional LFIA, yet the production of antibodies is time-consuming and expensive. In this study, we reported a multimodal CA-independent LFIA (MCI-LFIA) method for rapid diagnosis of bacterial urinary tract infections with high flexibility and accuracy. The assay employs p-mercaptophenylboronic acid-modified Au nanoflower (namely AuNF-PMBA nanomaterials) as multifunctional labels, which possess colorimetric-Raman-photothermal properties and outstanding bacteria capture ability. Take Escherichia coli ( E. coli ) as model bacteria, the limit of detection (LOD) of this MCI-LFIA for E. coli was 10 3 cfu/mL by naked-eye, which is three orders of magnitude lower than conventional CA-dependent sandwich method. For quantitative detection, LOD was 10 3 cfu/mL in colorimetric mode, 10 2 cfu/mL in Raman mode and 10 2 cfu/mL in photothermal mode. Significantly, the developed AuNF − PMBA-based MCI-LFIA successfully detected target pathogens in clinical E. coli -positive human urine samples within 45 min with high accuracy. This diagnostic platform may be easily adapted for detection of other target pathogens for bacterial diseases in point-of-care settings with good reproducibility and excellent specificity.

Total antioxidant capacity (TAC) is an important indicator for evaluating oxidative stress of the human body. Since TAC is related to the concentration of reducing substances, it can be detected by using peroxidase-like or oxidase-like activity of nanozyme materials. In this work, the cobalt and nitrogen co-doped carbon dots (Co/N-CDs) are fabricated for building stability and high peroxidase-like nanozyme through the Box-Behnken design of response surface methodology. The morphology and luminescence properties of obtained Co/N-CDs were characterized by TEM and fluorophotometer, respectively. Interestingly, the surface charge of Co/N-CDs are innovatively investigated by a simple and widespread gel electrophoresis, which holds the potential to be an alternative to Zeta potential analysis. In addition, a flow injection spectrophotometric assay to detect ascorbic acid is develop with a high sensitivity and automation based on a Co/N-CDs/guaiacol/H 2 O 2 catalytic reaction system. The proposed method is also responsive to other reducing substances such as cysteine and glutathione. Therefore, the presented sensor can realize the determination of TAC, and then, some actual human serum samples are detected accurately and quickly (the recovery rates are 93.46–105.61 %).

Defect engineering was considered as an effective strategy to regulate electrocatalytic activities of transition metal oxides . However, there are seldom reports about metal defects in electrochemical sensing. In this work, Co-defected Co 3 O 4 was synthesized via thermal treatment of glycerolatocobalt (CoGly) precursor for constructing a novel electrochemical nonenzymatic glucose sensor. The obtained nanomaterials were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), powder X-ray diffractometry (XRD), Raman spectra , X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and electrochemical techniques . The presence of Co defects regulated electronic structure of Co 3 O 4 , which not only speeds up electron transfer rate but also exposes more high-valent Co sites, thus improving electrocatalytic activities. Under optimized conditions, Co-defected Co 3 O 4 electrode exhibited excellent performance for glucose analysis with a wide linear range of 0.2 µM to 0.5 mM, a low detection limit of 0.16 µM. Importantly, an ultrahigh sensitivity of 2595.7 µA·mM −1 ·cm −2 was also obtained, which was about 10 times higher than that of conventional Co 3 O 4 . Therefore, engineering Co 3 O 4 with Co defects is an effective strategy to tailor electrocatalytic activity, which sheds light on the potential applications of metal defects in the field of electrochemical nonenzymatic sensing.

Sensitive, on-site and multiple detection of mycotoxins is a vital early-warning tool to minimize food losses and protect human health and the environment. Although paper-based lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) has been extensively applied in mycotoxins monitoring, low-cost, portable, ultrasensitive and quantitative detection is still a formidable challenge. Herein, a series of Fe-N-C single-atom nanozymes (SAzymes) were synthesized and systematic characterized. The optimal Fe-N-C SAzyme with highly efficient catalytic performance was successfully used as both label and catalyst in lateral flow immunoassays for mycotoxin detection. By taking advantage of the catalytic amplified system, the qualitative and quantitative detection can be easily and flexibly done via observing the test lines by naked eyes or a smartphone, with the limit of detections (LODs) of 2.8 and 13.9 pg mL −1 for AFB 1 and FB 1 , which were respectively over 700- and 71,000-fold lower than the maximum limit set by the European Union. Besides, underlying catalytic mechanisms and the active sites of the Fe-N-C SAzyme are also investigated by DFT simulation. This work not only provides a promising detection strategy for the application of advanced SAzymes but also offers experimental and theoretical guidelines to understand the active centers of Fe-N-C SAzymes and the catalytic process.

Despite the widely recognized importance of ginseng carbohydrates, their structural analysis is still challenging due to structural complexity. This study presents the first ion mobility-mass spectrometry (IM-MS) combined with 1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone (PMP) labeling and multivariate data analysis for profiling carbohydrates in the seven ginseng products. 11 carbohydrates were tentatively annotated, including 5 first found in ginseng, and three of them were solely detected in black ginseng (BG) samples, speculated as monosaccharides bearing various groups based on MS 2 analysis. Furthermore, 3D profiles of carbohydrates in IM-MS of the samples showed good discrimination between the varieties of ginseng which were classified into two groups utilizing carbohydrate contents by PLS-DA. The big difference between BG and the others may be ascribed to the repeated heating and steaming process for preparation of BG products. Our findings may provide insights into the differences in bioactivity of different ginseng varieties for future research and show a valuable methodology for discovering unknown carbohydrates.

Carbon nanodots (CDs) with superior fluorescence performance were obtained by hydrothermal method using tomatoes as raw materials. When the ultraviolet absorption band of tartrazine and the fluorescence spectrum of CDs have complementary overlaps, the fluorescent internal filter effect (IFE) occurred. Furthermore, the degree of quenching of fluorescence intensity of CDs has an excellent linear correlation with tartrazine concentration. And based on this principle, a method for detecting tartrazine was established. As the decrease of fluorescence intensity, tartrazine can be measured in the linear range of 0.1 μM–40 μM. The detection limit is 39 nM, and the recovery rate is 90.7%∼114.5%. The established protocol was also effectively employed to assay tartrazine in beverage samples, indicating that it has great potential for food color analysis.

An analytical method for the detection of glucose in human exhaled breath by non-invasive condensation collection coupled with ion chromatography was developed. A self-designed exhaled breath condensation device was constructed, through which human exhaled breath was condensed and collected. And the glucose in collected human exhaled breath condensate (EBC) was analyzed by ion chromatography with a pulsed amperometric instrument. The standard EBC collection method was established, and the key factors such as cooling temperature and sampling flow rate during condensation collection were investigated deeply, and a good linear correlation between blood glucose levels and exhaled breath glucose levels was obtained. The intra-day precision was 3.37%, and the inter-day precision was 3.83%. Furthermore, EBC from healthy people and diabetic patients was collected in fasting state and after meal. We found the breath glucose level in healthy volunteers was 0.11–2.34 ng/L and that in diabetic patients was 0.23–135.92 ng/L. In after meal samples, the breath glucose level is 10–100 times higher than that of healthy subjects, which offering the prospect of a non-invasive approach to the monitoring of diabetes.

Photoelectrodes constructed with photoactive materials are of great significance for the performance of photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensors. In this study, a facile and efficacious non-enzymatic glucose sensor based on the Cu 2 O/TiO 2 heterojunction was successfully constructed for quantitative determination of glucose concentration. The Cu 2 O/TiO 2 heterojunction was generated by first obtaining TiO 2 nanofibers via electrostatic spinning and high-temperature calcination, and then synthesizing Cu 2 O nanoparticles via a one-step hydrothermal reaction. By introducing the narrow band gap semiconductor Cu 2 O, the defect that pure TiO 2 could not absorb visible light was improved, resulting in the improved photoelectrochemical performance of the composite material compared to the single component semiconductor. The sensor exhibited favorable PEC non-enzymatic glucose sensing performance under simulated sunlight irradiation with a wide linear response range from 1 mM to 14 mM (R 2 = 0.9991) and a low detection limit of 14.4 μM (S/N = 3), along with good selectivity, stability and reproducibility. This also provided more ideas and possibilities for preparing photoelectrode materials by constructing heterojunctions.

It is highly desirable but of challenge to develop an efficient process for lactic acid (LaA) production from xylose performed in water. Herein, a novel catalyst prepared via a facile solvent-free coordination route is developed to efficiently produce LaA from xylose in water. The structural properties of the prepared catalyst and the reaction conditions are systematically investigated. The production rate of LaA at 190 °C in water is up to 1.8 h −1 , outperforming the most recent reports (below 1.1 h −1 ). Detailed experimental and characteristic studies reveal that the presence of Lewis acidic sites and basic sites in the catalyst structure can not only lower the energy barrier of xylose conversion but also boost the efficient conversion of the active reaction intermediates into LaA. The findings of this work will provide a new approach for the efficient production of LaA from carbohydrates.

It is significant to develop low-cost, sensitive, and portable sensing platform for point-of-care testing of ascorbic acid (AA) in food quality evaluation. Herein, a smart point-of-care (SPOC) sensor, consisting of fluorescent paper chip, 3D printed-accessories and smartphone, was developed for ultrasensitive and visual quantitative detection of AA. Fluorescent paper chip was made through printing silicon doped carbon dots (SiCDs)-Fe 3+ as “ink” onto filter paper, in which SiCDs emitting strong fluorescence signal quenched by Fe 3+ , and then recovered by AA owing to releasing –NH 2 /–OH and introducing defects on SiCDs. The smartphone with an application named “ AA-Tester ” was established to analyze AA and exhibited high sensitivity with low detection limits of 18.12 nmol/L. HPLC method was used to verify the SPOC sensor and obtained satisfactory accuracy with relative standard deviations of 0.79–2.31 %. The portable sensing platform integrated fluorescence sensor with smartphone-device will be favorable for ultrasensitive and on-the-spot detection of AA.

Metal-based enzyme mimics are considered to be acceptable agents in terms of their biomedical and biological properties; among them, iron oxides (Fe3O4) are treated as basement in fabricating heterogeneous composites through variable valency integrations. In this work, we have established a facile approach for constructing Fe3O4@Ag composite through assembling Fe3O4and Ag together via polyethyleneimine ethylenediamine (PEI) linkages. The obtained Fe3O4@PEI@Ag structure conveys several hundred nanometers (~150 nm). The absorption peak at 652 nm is utilized for confirming the peroxidase-like activity of Fe3O4@PEI@Ag structure by catalyzing 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) in the presence of H2O2. The Michaelis–Menten parameters (Km) of 1.192 mM and 0.302 mM show the higher catalytic activity and strong affinity toward H2O2and TMB, respectively. The maximum velocity (Vmax) value of 1.299 × 10−7M∙s−1and 1.163 × 10−7M∙s−1confirm the efficiency of Fe3O4@PEI@Ag structure. The biocompatibility illustrates almost 100% cell viability. Being treated as one simple colorimetric sensor, it shows relative selectivity and sensitivity toward the detection of glucose based on glucose oxidase. By using indocyanine green (ICG) molecule as an additional factor, a remarkable temperature elevation is observed in Fe3O4@PEI@Ag@ICG with increments of 21.6 °C, and the absorption peak is nearby 870 nm. This implies that the multifunctional Fe3O4@PEI@Ag structure could be an alternative substrate for formatting acceptable agents in biomedicine and biotechnology with enzymatic and photothermal properties.Keywords:Fe3O4@PEI@Ag;assembling process;enzymatic;catalytic performance;photothermal property
