An ability to integrate adaptive coloration and tissue-like compositions, structures, as well as mechanical properties, and so forth into a material remains elusive. To address this problem, this work presents a solution whereby these features were integrated into a proteinic artificial skin through biomimetic design. In this artificial skin, silk fibroin was used to mimic the structural framework of the cytoskeleton due to its unique molecular network structure and outstanding and tunable mechanical properties. Meanwhile, a thermochromic filamentous network consisting of C25-GAGAGAGY amphiphilic peptides was designed to mimic the functional tracks in the cytoskeleton, enabling its temperature-adaptive coloration ability. The interconnected linkage between the structural frame and functional units makes this artificial skin have stable structures, mechanical properties, and functions. The whole protein composition also makes this artificial skin essentially different from other existing color-tunable artificial skins, which are a combination of organic and inorganic compounds. Furthermore, because the protein composition is compatible with a range of dyes, the chromatic gamut of adaptive coloration of the developed artificial skin can be further expanded by color fusion. With the further inclusion of other functional units, such as photothermal and magnetothermal nanoparticles, the thermochromism of the artificial skin could be realized through sun exposure and alternating magnetic field modulation. With this diversity in color change pathways and stimulation mode, as well as the environmental friendliness of the material used, these artificial proteinic skins have promising applications as sensors in physiological monitoring, food preservation, and anti-counterfeiting.

Because tissue responses to implants determine the success or failure of tissue engineering products, fibroin/sericin-based scaffolds including bionic silk scaffolds, native silk fibers, fibroin fibers, and regenerated fibroin have been fabricated, and their biocompatibility was investigated. Fibroin/sericin-based scaffolds were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Bionic silk scaffolds were beneficial to silk fiber formation through self-assembly. Histological and immunofluorescent staining analysis demonstrated that bionic silk scaffolds did not show significant inflammatory responses. Immunization analysis showed that soluble fibroin and sericin did not show obvious immunogenicity. This work supplied an effective approach to design fibroin/sericin-based scaffolds for tissue engineering and drug delivery.

Carmine, as a widely used dye, is one kind of refractory organic pollutants that endanger the water environment. Finding an efficient and environmentally friendly degradation method is a crucial step to treat dye-containing wastewater. Using a one-step hydrothermal synthetic method, cryptomelane was synthesized, characterized, and investigated for its ability to degrade carmine in an aqueous solution. Under the optimum conditions of a 2 g/L cryptomelane dosage and an initial pH of 6.8, 97.87% of 100 mg/L carmine degraded within 240 mins. Cryptomelane exhibited excellent reusability after three cycles, with a decolorization efficiency of 85.39%. Cryptomelane accommodated a board working pH range. The carmine was efficiently decolorized via an interaction of oxidation, catalysis, and adsorption of cryptomelane in a ratio of 46.85:47.11:3.90, respectively. The existence of oxygen vacancies on cryptomelane was responsible for H 2 O 2 generation, and O 2 •- and 1 O 2 active species were involved in the carmine degradation by cryptomelane. A low reaction activation energy ( E a = 6.36 kJ/mol) caused efficient removal of carmine by cryptomelane at ambient temperature. These findings notably distinguish three roles of cryptomelane as an adsorbent, oxidant, and catalyst in a pollutant removal system, and prove that cryptomelane may have extensive and promising utilization on refractory organic wastewater treatment without the need to add extra oxidants.

In this paper, a deep eutectic solvent (DES)-based effervescence-assisted dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction method was proposed for the determination of four synthetic colorants in beverages by high-performance liquid chromatography. In this method, DES synthesized from choline chloride and phenol was used as extractant. The dispersion of DES was assisted by in situ CO2 produced from the effervescence reaction between NaH2PO4 and Na2CO3 without using any organic solvent or auxiliary equipment. Furthermore, phase separation occurred naturally in the presence of the salt products of effervescence reaction, without the addition of any other salting out reagents. Some important parameters, such as species, molar ratio and volume of DES, composition and amount of effervescent agents, were optimized to achieve the best extraction efficiency. Under the optimal conditions, extraction recoveries were obtained for the analytes in the range of 83.5–114.8%. The limits of detection were in the range of 0.6–3.0 ng/mL. Relative standard deviations for intra- and interday precision were <4.68 and 6.08%, respectively. This simple, rapid, cost-effective and environmentally friendly method has been successfully applied to the analysis of synthetic colorants in 10 kinds of beverage samples.

In this work, phase behaviors and pigment extraction performance of the ionic liquid-based aqueous two-phase system (IL-ATPS) formed by 1-ethylpiperazinium tertrafluoroborate ([C 2 pi][BF 4 ]) + sodium dodecyl sulfonate (SDS) and 1-phenylpiperazinium tertrafluoroborate ([Phpi][BF 4 ]) + sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS) are investigated. Phase composition of ATPS is determined, revealing ion exchange between conjugated phases. Mixing the piperazinium-based IL with the anionic surfactant produces a weakly acidic environment of ATPS which is suitable for the separation of curcumin . The influences of surfactant/IL mass ratio, pigment concentration and temperature on extraction efficiency and distribution coefficient are evaluated. The separation mechanism of ATPS is further explored by DLS, TEM and FTIR. The packing effect induced by the re-assembly of micelles formed mainly by IL cations and surfactant anions are the driving force for the preferable separation of curcumin, while carmine distributes in both phases with similar concentrations due to its high water solubility.

In the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) repair pathways, DNA repair enzymes have great significance for genomic integrity. As one important initiator of the base-excision repair pathway, the aberrant activity of uracil-DNA glycosylase (UDG) is closely associated with many diseases. Herein, we developed a simple distance-based device for visual detection of UDG activity using a load-free DNA hydrogel. The DNA hydrogel consists of polyacrylamide–DNA chains being bridged by a single-stranded DNA crosslinker containing a responsive uracil base site. UDG can recognize and remove the uracil, resulting in the cleavage effect of the DNA crosslinker strand with the assistance of endonuclease IV (Endo IV). Plugging one end of the capillary tube, the DNA hydrogel acting as a filter membrane separator would control molecules to flow into the tube. The integrity of the DNA hydrogel networks is affected by the excision of UDG. Therefore, taking full advantage of membrane filtration of the DNA hydrogel, the activity of UDG can be quantitatively detected via reading the distance of the red indicator solution in the capillary tube. Without any instruments and complicated procedures, this method realizes high sensitivity and specificity for the detection of UDG as low as 0.02 mU/mL and can even measure UDG in complex cell samples. Additionally, this method is simple, universal, and can be used to screen inhibitors, which shows great potential for point-of-care testing, clinical diagnosis, and drug discovery.

Swab sampling for the trace surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) analysis of an aromatic dye (e.g., malachite green , MG) residue in fruits as well as fingerprints is promising due to its practical utility and efficiency in food security and forensic science. However, the durability and recyclability of the SERS substrates pose an enormous challenge. In this study, a novel flexible film was constructed by embedding a commercial Ag nanowire suspension into a polydimethylsiloxane film (Ag [email protected] ), which simultaneously exhibits SERS activity, durability and recyclability. High SERS performance was still maintained, even against 20 times stretchability, corrosion by HNO 3 , destruction by ultrasonication and a broad working temperature of −20 ℃ to 80 ℃. Excellent recyclability for MG sensing was achieved in ten cycles. Ag [email protected] was successfully used for the quantitative detection of MG in juices of fruits (such as apple and pear) by drop dripping, with a limit of detection of 10 nM and good anti-interference. Meanwhile, the sensitive detection of the MG residue (only 3 ng/cm 2 ) on fruits was enabled by the on-site surface swabbing by recycling for five cycles. Portable detection of the MG residue was further achieved from the 10th fingerprint after successively touching a dye drop onto the functional film combined with a portable Raman spectrometer.

In this work, a native beta-cyclodextrin capped silver nanoparticles decorated Ti 3 C 2 T x nanosheets (Ti 3 C 2 T x -AgNPs@β-CD) surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate was developed by a facile one-pot method. The two-dimensional Ti 3 C 2 T x nanosheets not only acted as the supporter to load AgNPs, but also served as chemical enhancement material. Meanwhile, β-CD played a critical role in the control of morphology and size of AgNPs, and its supramolecular structure also endowed the Ti 3 C 2 T x -AgNPs@β-CD substrate with selectivity. The Ti 3 C 2 T x -AgNPs@β-CD substrate exhibited excellent sensitivity, good intra-batch and inter-batch reproducibility, and long-term stability by detecting methylene blue model molecule. Then, the substrate was applied for selective determination of erythrosin B among pigment additives via the host-guest size-matching effect. The proposed SERS method with linear range of 1−100 mg/L and detection limit of 30 μg/L could realize rapid SERS analysis of erythrosin B in dyed food samples within 15 min with recoveries of 78.1 %–113.2 %. Erythrosin B was actually found in dyed cherry with 49 mg/kg and marshmallow with 16 mg/kg, and the result matched well with that of UV–vis method. Such a robust substrate possessed great values for efficient and rapid on-site SERS analysis in food safety issues.

In the work, water-soluble bovine serum albumin-protected fluorescent nickel nanoclusters (BSA-NiNCs) are used as fluorescent probes to construct a label-free fluorescence quenching sensor for sensitive and selective detection of tartrazine . The fluorescent BSA-NiNCs are synthesized in one pot using BSA as both the template and reducing agent, and hydrogen peroxide as the additive. The as-prepared NiNCs are characterized by using various analytical techniques like transmission electron microscopy , X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, UV–Vis absorption spectroscopy, circular dichroism spectroscopy, and fluorescence spectroscopy. The synthesized BSA-NiNCs have a quantum yield of ca. 8% by using quinine sulfate as a standard. The sensor for tartrazine detection shows a wide linear range of 0.01–3.5 μM, with a low detection limit of 4 nM. The fluorescence quenching very likely results from the combination of the intermolecular interactions and the secondary inner filter effect between BSA-NiNCs and tartrazine. Then, the proposed sensor is successfully employed for tartrazine detection in drink samples, and the results are comparable with those based on a reference HPLC method.

This work presents a method of magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) combined with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to analyse five synthetic azo dyes (tartrazine, amaranth, carmine, sunset yellow, allura red) in different food samples. The magnetic graphene oxide nanocomposite (GO@Fe3O4) was prepared by a one-step solvothermal method and used as the sorbent for extraction and pre-concentration of azo dyes in food samples. The as-prepared GO@Fe3O4 nanocomposite was characterised by transmission electron microscope, Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, vibrating sample magnetometer, and Brunuer-Emmett-Teller analysis. The extraction and desorption parameters were investigated, including the material amount, extraction time, pH of the solution, desorption temperature, and desorption solvents. Under the optimised conditions, the limits of detection (LODs) were 1.14–2.23, 0.36–0.77 and 0.68–1.26 ng/g for candy, jelly, and plum candy, respectively. The limits of quantification (LOQs) were 4.02–7.73, 1.21–2.50 and 2.31–4.20 ng/g for candy, jelly, and plum candy, respectively. For the analysis of spiked jelly, recoveries were between 73.2% and 107.7%, with RSDs lower than 1.34 %. The developed method was successfully applied to the analysis of real samples including jelly, candy and plum candy.

A rapid and sensitive analytical strategy combining high-performance liquid chromatography-diode array detection (HPLC-DAD) and chemometrics methods was developed for the determination of multi-class food additives in a variety of beverage samples. Different kinds of beverages, which contain diverse unknown interferences, can be directly injected into a chromatographic system after a simple dilution or pretreatment step, and the data were recorded in a short time under a simple gradient elution mode. Although peaks overlapped and changeable interferences existed in the dimension of the chromatographic and spectral in real beverages, all food additives were accurately resolved by using a second-order calibration method based on alternating trilinear decomposition (ATLD) algorithm, and accurate chromatographic profiles, spectral profiles, and concentration profiles were also obtained. Limits of detection for all additives were between 1.40 and 165.1 ng mL −1 , while limits of quantitation ranged from 4.20 to 500.2 ng mL −1 . The spiked recoveries were in the range of 87.3–103% (except amaranth) with RSDs less than 10.2%. Compared with the results obtained by classic HPLC method, our proposed method was more accurate. In all, the proposed method is fast, sensitive, and universal and could be used as a reliable tool to determine food additives and quality monitoring in different complex beverages.

A composite of chromium (III) terephthalate metal-organic framework and graphene oxide (MIL-101/GO) coated stir bar was prepared by sol–gel technique for the first time and was employed for stir bar sorptive extraction (SBSE) of trace azo dyes amaranth, sunset yellow and carmine from water samples followed by UV–Vis spectrophotometric detection. A MIL-101/GO coating was first created on the glass bar surface. MIL-101/GO and MIL-101/GO coated stir bars were characterized. The enrichment factors of azo dyes by SBSE have been investigated in detail, and the optimized experimental parameters were obtained. Under the optimal conditions, a method for determination of trace amount of azo dyes was setup, and the detection limits of amaranth, sunset yellow and carmine were 2.3 ng/mL, 1.7 ng/mL and 1.6 ng/mL. The proposed method was successfully applied for the analysis of the three azo dyes in water samples.
