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

The accumulation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) from food matrix in human body can induce health crisis. This study firstly investigated the AGEs accumulation reducing potential of soluble dietary fiber (SDF) from Rhodomyrtus tomentosa fruits in antiglycation and trapping AGEs aspects. To obtain superior functionalities, the SDF was prepared by an enzymatic modified extraction method (ESDF). The result showed the extraction yield of SDF increased by 45% with the Viscozyme L modification. The structural characterizations indicated the enzymatic treatment greatly influenced the monosaccharide composition, thermal stability, crystallinity, and apparent viscosity of Rhodomyrtus tomentosa fruits SDF (RTSDF) as compared with SDF obtained from water extraction method (WSDF). The antioxidant assay indicated that RTSDF could scavenge O 2−∙ ,OH ∙ , and H 2 O 2 radicals and chelate Fe 2+ . Additionally, RTSDF, especially ESDF, reduced the more fluorescent AGEs generation in bovine serum albumin (BSA)-fructose model, and protected the BSA from oxidation and cross-linking. Besides, the RTSDF presented the ability to trap those already formed BSA-bound AGEs. ESDF exhibited higher AGEs binding capacity, while WSDF demonstrated stronger ability in restraining the AGEs diffusion. These results suggested the potential utility of RTSDF serving as an essential ingredient in functional foods to reduce AGEs accumulation in human body, controlling AGEs-associated diseases.

The construction of novel fluorescent nanozymes is highly desirable for providing new strategies for nanozyme-based sensing systems. Herein, a novel ratiometric fluorescence sensing platform was constructed based on carbon dots (CDs) as both luminophores and nanozymes, which could realize the sensitive detection of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). CDs with peroxidase-mimicking activity were prepared with a one-step hydrothermal method usingL-histidine as an inexpensive precursor. CDs had bright blue fluorescence. Due to the pseudo-peroxidase activity, CDs catalyzed the oxidation of o-phenylenediamine (OPD) with H2O2to generate 2,3-diaminophenolazine (DAP). The fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between CDs and DAP resulted in a decrease in the fluorescence of CDs and an increase in the fluorescence of DAP, leading to a ratiometric fluorescence system. The free radical trapping experiment was used to investigate the reactive oxygen radicals (ROS) in the catalytic process of CD nanozymes. The enzymatic parameters of CD nanozymes, including the Michaelis constant (Km) and the maximum initial reaction velocities (Vmax), were investigated. A good affinity for both OPD and H2O2substrates was proven. Based on the FRET between CDs and OPD, a ratiometric fluorescence analysis of H2O2was achieved and results ranged from 1 to 20 μM and 20 to 200 μM with a low limit of detection (LOD, 0.42 μM). The detection of H2O2in milk was also achieved.Keywords:fluorescent nanozymes;carbon dots;ratiometric fluorescence;fluorescence resonance energy transfer;hydrogen peroxide

A nanocomposite (UiO-66/Ce-MnO 2 ) was fabricated by combining UiO-66 with cerium-doped manganese dioxide (Ce-MnO 2 ) for colorimetric detecting vitamin C (Vc). Compared with traditional artificial enzymes, the as-synthesized UiO-66/Ce-MnO 2 were simple to prepare and did not require the participation of other active substances. The doping of cerium increased the oxygen vacancies and the UiO-66 as a carrier improved the dispersibility. The formation of superoxide anion (O 2 − ) and the inside Ce 4+ /Ce 3+ and Mn 4+ /Mn 3+ redox couples of UiO-66/Ce-MnO 2 endowed UiO-66/Ce-MnO 2 with a high catalytic capability, which could catalytically oxidize 3, 3′, 5, 5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) into oxidation state TMB (oxTMB) without H 2 O 2 , accompanying with color change and a prominent peak at 652 nm in UV–vis spectra. Based on the inhibitory effects of Vc on catalytic oxidation of TMB, detection of Vc can be achieved, exhibiting a linear relationship in the concentration of 1.13–17.01 μmol L −1 with a low detection limit of 65.82 nmol L −1 . This system can also be detected by smartphone, the linear detection range is 12.47–22.67 μmol L −1 . Vc contents in fruits and vegetables detected by the sensor were in good agreement with the 2, 4-Dinitrophenylhydrazine colorimetry method ( P > 0.05), indicating a reliable sensor for Vc detection.

Cellulose hydrolysis and further conversion to diketones and alcohols was performed with graphene layer encapsulated cobalt catalysts (Co@C) in phosphoric acid aqueous solution. A total of 60.5% yield of the products mainly including ethanol, 2,5-hexanedione (2,5-HD) and diols could be achieved in 0.06 M H3PO4 solution. A series of characterization methods such as XRD, XPS, TEM, TG-MS, BET, ICP, H2-TPD, NH3-TPD, and Raman were carried out to explore the catalyst formation mechanism and reaction activity. The results of the analysis indicated that the calcination temperature had a deep influence on the structure formation of the Co@C catalysts, thus leading to differences in the reaction activity. While the calcination temperature was determined at 700 °C, the Co@C catalyst meets with the requirements of optimal reaction activity, appropriate particle size, suitable surface area, and pore size. Besides, it was found that H3PO4 is not only favorable in cellulose hydrolysis but also cooperates with the Co@C catalyst in the hydrogenolysis of C–O bond and C–C bonds for the formation of products. This work provides a possible way for renewable cellulose conversion to diketone and alcohols over encapsulated non-noble metal catalyst combined with phosphoric acid aqueous solution.

In this study, Ni nanoparticles were grown on a silver-coated nylon yarn (SCNY) surface by electrochemical deposition to prepare SCNY@Ni. The hierarchical Ni–Ag nanostructure promoted their synergistic effect, which enhanced the electrocatalytic behavior of glucose oxidation. The test result of SCNY@Ni showed its high sensitivity (115.26 μA mM−1 cm−2 and 67.37 μA mM−1 cm−2) with a wide linear response (from 2 μM to 1 mM and from 1 mM to 22 mM) of glucose con-centration range, a low detection limit (LOD) of 2 μM, fast response time (3 s), and good selectivity for glucose determination in the presence of sucrose (SU), aceta-mino phenol (AP), D-fructose (D-Fru), ascorbic acid (AA), dopamine (DA), hydro-quinone (HQ) and uric acid (UA) as potential interference species. Also, SCNY@Ni exhibited excellent stability, repeatability, reproducibility and flexibility. It has good prospects for large-scale production.

Fabricating high-performance enzyme reactors is requested for achieving efficient and stable bioconversions, but remains challenging, because few of them can possess high enzyme loading, sufficient mixing, and efficient mass transfer at the same time. Herein, we propose to develop a novel enzymatic packed bed membrane reactor (EPBMR) by integrating the advantages of both packed bed reactor (PBR) and enzymatic membrane reactor (EMR). A prototype study is conducted with the simplified enzyme-loaded microsphere-ultrafiltration EMR model (Mic-UF EMR). Invertase and dextranase are used in this work to produce glucose and oligodextran by hydrolysis of sucrose and dextran , respectively. Specifically, the use of microspheres can enlarge the contact area between enzymes and substrates and mitigate membrane fouling induced by free enzymes. Thus, Free&Mic-UF EMR (with both free and immobilized enzymes) exhibits a higher sucrose conversion rate (84%) than the EMR with free invertase (34%) and a negligible decline in sucrose conversion for 36 h continuous operation. Membrane fouling is ameliorated by alkaline cleaning and implementation of covalent bonding strategy. In addition, commercial resins with larger sizes are employed to replace konjac glucomannan microspheres (KGM) which reduce the pressure drop of EMR. Finally, by selecting the UF membrane with proper molecular weight cut-off (MWCO), the dextranase-based Mic-UF EMR system successfully produces oligodextran with desired molecular weight (Mw) and narrow Mw distribution. The outcome of this work not only offers a novel enzyme reactor construction strategy but also provides guidance for regulating the performance of EMR.

5-(Hydroxymethyl)furfural (5-HMF) is a vital platform molecule from which a variety of high-value-added fine chemicals and polymerizable monomers can be prepared. The use of solid acids to catalyze the conversion of biomass into 5-HMF is environmentally friendly and economical. However, exploiting the high yield of 5-HMF in a highly concentrated reactant system is challenging. Herein, we present a laser-assisted method for preparing highly acidic monolithic acidic catalysts. A monolithic acidic catalyst based on metal Zr sheets was synthesized and used to catalytically convert 30 wt% fructose into 5-HMF (conversion rate: 96%; yield: 95%). The catalyst was immediately separated from the reaction solution by direct removal at the end of the reaction. Catalytic efficiency was largely unaffected after 10 cycles of use, and the same catalytic efficiency was observed after laser-regeneration, highlighting the potential industrial applicability of the developed catalyst.

Facet and defect engineering have achieved great success in improving the catalytic performance of CeO2, but the inconsistent reports on the synergistic effect of facet and oxygen vacancy and the lack of investigation on the heavily doped oxygen vacancy keeps it an attractive subject. Inspired by this, CeO2nanocrystals with selectively exposed crystalline facets (octahedron, cube, sphere, rod) and abundant oxygen vacancies have been synthesized to investigate the synergistic effect of facet and heavily doped oxygen vacancy. The contrasting electrochemical behavior displayed by diverse reduced CeO2nanocrystals verifies that oxygen vacancy acts distinctly on different facets. The thermodynamically most stable CeO2octahedron enclosed by heavily doped (111) facets surprisingly exhibited the optimum non-enzymatic H2O2sensing performance, with a high sensitivity (128.83 µA mM−1cm−2), a broad linear range (20 µM~13.61 mM), and a low detection limit (1.63 µM). Meanwhile, the sensor presented satisfying selectivity, repeatability, stability, as well as its feasibility in medical disinfectants. Furthermore, the synergistic effect of facet and oxygen vacancy was clarified by the inclined distribution states of oxygen vacancy and the electronic transmission property. This work enlightens prospective research on the synergistic effect of alternative crystal surface engineering strategies.Keywords:electrochemical H2O2sensing;oxygen vacancy;facet;cerium dioxide

d -allulose is a rare low-calorie sugar that has many fundamental biological functions. d -allulose 3-epimerase from Agrobacterium tumefaciens (AT-DAEase) catalyzes the conversion of d -fructose to d -allulose. The enzyme has attracted considerable attention because of its mild catalytic properties. However, the bioconversion efficiency and reusability of AT-DAEase limit its industrial application. Magnetic metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have uniform pore sizes and large surface areas and can facilitate mass transport and enhance the capacity for enzyme immobilization. Here, we successfully encapsulated cobalt-type AT-DAEase into the cobalt-based magnetic MOF ZIF-67@Fe 3 O 4 using a self-assembly strategy. We confirmed the immobilization of enzyme AT-DAEase and characterized the enzymatic properties of the MOF-immobilized AT-DAEase@ZIF-67@Fe 3 O 4 . The AT-DAEase@ZIF-67@Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles had higher catalytic activity (65.1 U mg −1 ) and bioconversion ratio (38.1%) than the free AT-DAEase. The optimal conditions for maximum enzyme activity of the AT-DAEase@ZIF-67@Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles were 55 °C and pH 8.0, which were significantly higher than those of the free AT-DAEase (50 °C and pH 7.5). The AT-DAEase@ZIF-67@Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles displayed significantly improved thermal stability and excellent recycling performance, with 80% retention of enzyme activity at a temperature range of 45–70 °C and > 45% of its initial activity after eight cycles of enzyme use. The AT-DAEase@ZIF-67@Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles have great potential for large-scale industrial preparation of d -allulose by immobilizing cobalt-type AT-DAEase into magnetic MOF ZIF-67@Fe 3 O 4 .

The main objective of this study was to optimize the fermentation conditions of goji and to analyze the sugar, organic acid, amino acid, and flavor compounds before and after the fermentation of goji. Based on the single-factor experiment, orthogonal array design and the range analysis, the optimized conditions for fermented goji were 30% raw material concentration, 28 h fermentation time and 0.05% inoculum size, respectively. Under optimal conditions, the biomass of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum NCU137 and sensory score of fermented goji reached to 8.84 ± 0.05 log CFU/g and 81.3 ± 1.5, respectively. After fermentation, the content of malate, succinic acid, and lactate increased, while the content of pyruvate, glucose, fructose, and the overall free amino acid decreased. After fermentation, volatile components except for the phenols and acids are declining. This study would provide theoretical basis and experimental data for the industrialization of Lycium barbarum fermentation. Novelty impact statement After Lactiplantibacillus plantarum NCU137 fermentation, the contents of organic acids and total acidity acid in fermented goji significantly increased, which could inhibit microbiological spoilage and growth. Moreover, we get a delicious fermented goji juice through the optimization of fermentation conditions. Therefore, the data obtained in this study provides a better understanding of the effects of raw material content, fermentation time, and inoculum size on the quality of fermented goji, which would be very beneficial for the production of high-quality fermented goji for subsequent consumption.

Fructose is a commonly used food additive and has many adverse effects on human health, but it is unclear whether fructose impacts pulmonary fibrosis. TGF-β1, a potent fibrotic inducer, is produced as latent complexes by various cells, including alveolar epithelial cells, macrophages, and fibroblasts, and must be activated by many factors such as reactive oxygen species (ROS). This study explored the impact of fructose on pulmonary fibrotic phenotype and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) using lung epithelial cells (A549 or BEAS-2B) and the underlying mechanisms. Fructose promoted the cell viability of lung epithelial cells, while N-Acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC) inhibited such. Co-treatment of fructose and latent TGF-β1 could induce the fibrosis phenotype and the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related protein expression, increasing lung epithelial cell migration and invasion. Mechanism analysis shows that fructose dose-dependently promoted the production of total and mitochondrial ROS in A549 cells, while NAC eliminated this promotion. Notably, post-administration with NAC or SB431542 (a potent TGF-β type I receptor inhibitor) inhibited fibrosis phenotype and EMT process of lung epithelial cells co-treated with fructose and latent TGF-β1. Finally, the fibrosis phenotype and EMT-related protein expression of lung epithelial cells were mediated by the ROS-activated latent TGF-β1/Smad3 signal. This study revealed that high fructose promoted the fibrotic phenotype of human lung epithelial cells by up-regulating oxidative stress, which enabled the latent form of TGF-β1 into activated TGF-β1, which provides help and reference for the diet adjustment of healthy people and patients with fibrosis.
