World hunger is on the rise, yet one-third of food is wasted. It is necessary to develop an effective food preservation method to reduce food waste. This article reports a composite film based on chitosan biguanidine hydrochloride(CBg) and poly (N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone)(PVP) that can be used as a conformal coating for fresh produce. Due to the strong positive charge of CBg, the film has excellent antibacterial properties. Owing to the hydrogen bonds between CBg and PVP, the film has good flexibility and mechanical properties. In addition, the coating is washable, transparent, and can reduce the evaporation of water. The above characteristics mean the film has broad application prospects in the field of food preservation.Keywords:antimicrobial;chitosan derivative;coating;fruit

Vitamin B3 is an essential vitamin that the human body cannot synthesize in sufficient amounts. Thus, it must be supplemented through food and medicine. The vitamin B3 content of foods and drugs must therefore be determined to identify its main sources. However, vitamin B3 is a strongly polar substance, and its detection in complex actual samples has certain challenges. In this study, a double column tandem method was established for the determination of vitamin B3 in fruit and drug samples. The chromatographic retention of the vitamin was investigated using different chromatographic single-column and double-column tandem models. The best separation and determination effect was obtained under a dual-column tandem mode consisting of a C18 short column and a HILIC column. The chromatographic conditions for vitamin B3 detection were as follows: 10:90 (v:v) acetonitrile–0.1% acetic acid water solution mobile phase, 30 ℃ column temperature, 0.4 mL/min flow rate, and 262 nm detection wavelength. This method was used to detect vitamin B3 in three fruits and two drugs. The detected content ranged between 1.50×10 2 and 1.35×10 3 mg/kg, and the recovery for spiked samples was 85–102%. This high performance liquid chromatography with two columns tandem can effectively determine vitamin B3. Graphical Abstract

Phoxim, extensively utilized in agriculture as an organothiophosphate insecticide, has the potential to cause neurotoxicity and pose human health hazards. In this study, an electrochemical enzyme biosensor based on Ti 3 C 2 MXene/MoS 2 @AuNPs/AChE was constructed for the sensitive detection of phoxim. The two-dimensional multilayer structure of Ti 3 C 2 MXene provides a robust framework for MoS 2 , leading to an expansion of the specific surface area and effectively preventing re-stacking of Ti 3 C 2 MXene. Additionally, the synergistic effect of self-reduced grown AuNPs with MoS 2 further improves the electrical conductivity of the composites, while the robust framework provides a favorable microenvironment for immobilization of enzyme molecules. Ti 3 C 2 MXene/MoS 2 @AuNPs electrochemical enzyme sensor showed a significant response to phoxim in the range of 1 × 10 −13 M to 1 × 10 −7 M with a detection limit of 5.29 × 10 −15 M. Moreover, the sensor demonstrated excellent repeatability, reproducibility, and stability, thereby showing its promising potential for real sample detection.

Nine kinds of carbon dots (CDs) were synthesized by using fruits with different varieties as carbon sources; meanwhile, the fluorescence characteristics, quantum yield, and response ability to different metal ions and free radicals were systematically studied. These CDs showed similar excitation and emission spectral ranges ( λ ex ≈ 345 nm, λ em ≈ 435 nm), but very different fluorescence quantum yield (QY), in which orange and cantaloupe CDs have the highest QY around 0.25 and green plum CDs showed the lowest quantum yield around 0.1. Interestingly, the fluorescence of all of these CDs can be significantly quenched by hydroxyl radical (•OH) and iron ion (Fe 3+ ); however, these CDs showed very different response characteristics to other metal ions (e.g., Co 2+ , Ni 2+ , Cu 2+ , Ce 3+ , Mn 2+ , Ag + , and Fe 2+ ). Through in-depth analysis, we found some interesting patterns of the influence of carbon sources on the fluorescence characteristics of CDs. Finally, by using white pitaya CDs as fluorescence probe, we realized sensing of Fe 3+ and •OH with limits of detection (LOD) of 19.4 μM and 0.7 μM, respectively. Moreover, the CDs were also capable for sensitive detection in immune cells and even in zebrafishes. Our work can provide valuable guidance for the rational design of functional CDs for biological applications. Graphical abstract

BACKGROUND Penicillic acid (PA) is produced by Aspergillus spp. and Penicillium spp., which are common postharvest and storage fungi of fruits. PA can be of concern for human health because of its toxicity and high fruit consumption by the population. However, no data on PA occurrence in various fruits have yet been reported. A quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged and safe (QuEChERS) approach for PA determination in various fruits was developed and applied to explore PA incidence in fruits. RESULTS The modified QuEChERS procedure with extraction by ethyl acetate and purification by multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), primary secondary amine (PSA) and octadecyl silane (C18) was established to determine PA in various fruits by high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). The average recoveries were 72.9–102.2% and relative standard deviations (RSDs) were 1.3–7.9%. A total of 161 fruits samples, including kiwi, apple, peach, grape and mandarin/orange, were collected in southern China. The incidence of PA in fruits was 14.9% and the levels of PA contamination were 0.200–0.596 μg kg −1 . Our results suggested that orange/mandarin, grape and kiwi were favorable matrices for Aspergillus spp. and Penicillium spp. to produce PA, rather than peach and apple. CONCLUSION To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report about PA contamination in various fruits in China. Our study emphasizes the necessity of the current established method, which could be used for continuous monitoring of PA and reducing the health risk to Chinese consumers. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry

Evaluation of total antioxidant capacity (TAC) in fruits is essential for dietary guidance and health monitoring. Here, we have exploited light-response carbon dots (CDs) as oxidase-like nanozyme to determine the TAC of fruits. The CDs possess excellent oxidase-like activity with light stimulation due to the accelerated intramolecular charge transfer caused by abundant electron donating/drawing groups in precursors. The scavenger experiment reveals that the catalytic intermediate could be hydroxyl radical, which can oxidize the colorimetric substrate. With the introduction of antioxidants, the oxidization of colorimetric substrate will be alleviated due to the scavenging of this intermediate by antioxidants. Based on this, we have successfully detected three antioxidants and obtained TAC of fruits with desirable results. This work affords a rapid, cost-effective and convenient analysis tool for TAC, as well as building a strong bridge between CDs and the development of photo-responsive oxidase-like nanozymes.

The development of water treatment materials using environmentally friendly natural biomasses as substitutes plays an increasingly important role in environmental protection. Zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) is often used for the catalytic degradation of dye wastewater, but due to its small particle size, its disadvantage of easy agglomeration prevents it from being fully functional. Herein, we report an efficient method for synthesizing biomasses/ZIF-8 using four different fruit peels as carriers. ZIF-8 nanoparticles are in-situ grown uniformly on their surface. The Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area of shaddock peel/ZIF-8 was found to be 752.15 m2g–1. After catalytic activity comparison, the loose shaddock peel/ZIF-8 showed the fastest and most significant degradation efficiency of 94% in methylene blue aqueous solution and could be used multiple times through a simple washing process.

Furan, which has been identified as possibly carcinogenic for humans, can be induced to different food items by thermal treatment. In accordance with the previous studies and risks associated with prevalence of furan in food, it is necessary to be acknowledged of amounts of furan formed in different thermally processed foods for human awareness. In this study, Headspace Solid-Phase Microextraction Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC/MS) was optimized for simultaneous determination of furan, furfural, 2-methylfuran and 2-pentylfuran for the first time from different dried fruits and roasted nuts. The method was proved to be valid for determination of all analytes at 50 °C for 25 min, stirring at 700 rpm and 20% NaCl (W/V) using 50/30 μm divinlybenzene/carboxen/polysimethylsiloxane (DVB/CAR/PDMS) fibre. All analytes were baseline-separated at HP 5-MS column in less than 13 min and obtained results have shown prevalence of furan, furfural and 2-pentylfuran in the studied matrices; however, 2-pentylfuran was more prevalent in the roasted nuts than dried fruits and 2-methylfuran has not shown considerable prevalence in both matrices. Moreover, this method was validated in terms of linearity, precision, recovery, specificity, limit of detection and limit of quantification depending on analytes and sample matrices. Hence, the present method was proved to be highly sensitive, specific and robust with good precision and accuracy and suitable for monitoring these furan derivatives in the studied matrices.

In order to develop environmentally friendly, economical and facile preparation method of carbon aerogels (CAs), the waste printing paper as the raw material was combined with graphene oxide and carboxylic multi-walled carbon nanotubes to produce CAs (ρ = 44 mg cm −3 ). The CAs with different composition were investigated, the addition of graphene oxide led to the reduction of adsorption sites and the reduction of extraction performance. But the carbon nanotubes made CAs have a better pore structure. The CAs as adsorbent were loaded into a pipette-tip for solid-phase extraction of hexaconazole and diniconazole. Coupled with gas chromatography, an analytical method was established under the optimized conditions. The limits of detection were between 0.08 and 0.32 mg kg −1 , the linear ranges were 0.96–200.0 mg kg −1 and 0.24–200.0 mg kg −1 . The relative recoveries were in the range of 81.0–119%. The results indicated that the method had potential application for the determination of triazole fungicides.

Food security is an important global public health issue, which will not only endanger consumers’ life and health, but also cause serious food waste. Herein, antibacterial dialdehyde sodium alginate/ ε -polylysine microspheres (DSA-PL MPs) were developed to effectively prolong the shelf life of fruit. DSA was prepared by periodate oxidation of sodium alginate. Then the PL was conjugated onto DSA backbone via the Schiff’s base reaction to synthesize DSA-PL conjugates, followed by the emulsification and Ca 2+ ions crosslinking to obtain DSA-PL MPs. The results indicate that DSA-PL MPs show smooth spherical particle, relatively narrow size distribution and good dispersity. In vitro degradation rate of DSA-PL MPs is higher in acetate buffer (pH = 5.0) than that in PBS buffer (pH = 7.4), showing acid-sensitive degradation property. Significantly, DSA-PL MPs possess strong broad-spectrum antibacterial activity, which can effectively extend the shelf life of fruit. Overall, DSA-PL MPs possess promising application as antibacterial agents for fruit preservation.

Purpose This study is to develop an effective method for separating, identifying, and quantifying suspected illegal additives from fruit and vegetable plums. Methods Ultra performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF/MS) was employed to perform non-targeted screening of illegal additives from more than 10 batches of fruit and vegetable plums. A diesterified oxyphenisatin analog never detected before in foodstuffs was identified from a batch of fruit and vegetable plum. This analog was separated and purified by column chromatography, and its molecular structure was analyzed and identified using one dimension and two dimension-nuclear magnetic resonance spectra (1D and 2D NMR). After obtaining the synthesized reference standard, an UPLC-PDA detection method for the quantitative analysis of this analog in real samples was established. Results The results showed that the characteristic fragment ions with mass/charge ratio ( m/z ) of 224.07 and 196.07 appeared in the MS 2 spectrum, indicating that the analog had the skeleton of oxyphenisatin. Combining the fitted molecular formula of suspected compound, its degree of unsaturation, and the fragment ions with mass/charge ratios of 428.18, 334.14, 83.08 in the secondary mass spectrum, we speculated that the anhydride of esterified oxyphenisatin might be cyclohexanecarboxylic anhydride, which was in good consistent with NMR spectroscopic analysis. Based on these findings, the analog was eventually named dicyclohexylformyl oxyphenisatin. UPLC-PDA test results showed that the content of this analog in a batch of fruit and vegetable plum was 614.0 mg/kg. Conclusion As far as we know, dicyclohexylformyl oxyphenisatin is not a food additive. Structurally, it is the product from dicyclohexylformylation of oxyphenisatin. The illegal addition of this analog to food will cause unknown harm to uninformed consumers and requires the attention of relevant departments.

Electrochemical detection is an applicable rapid detection technology, but it is always limited by sample treatment and matrix interference. In this study, two gel/graphite paper electrodes were obtained by drop coating of sodium alginate gel and chitosan gel onto 0.1 mm graphite paper. Comparations of anti-interference performance and stability indicated that sodium alginate gel/graphite paper electrode (GGPBE) was the preferred term for establishing a rapid determination method for Pb in fruits. Based on the contents of organic acids and main metal ions in fruits, analysis and control of matrix interference were conducted. Organic acids, such as ascorbic acid, citric acid and quinic acid, caused greater interferences than metal ions. Mg(II) and Fe(III) were the notable factors of co-interference with organic acids. Matrix interference could be controlled in 3.92% by chemical oxidation using H 2 O 2 combined with HNO 3 ultrasonic extraction. The established linear range of Pb(II) was 0.1 ∽ 21.0 µg/L and LOD was 0.0274 µg/L under square wave anodic stripping voltammetry method. In the detection of 9 fruits, the contents of Pb were below 0.1 mg/kg. This work developed an easily prepared gel/graphite paper electrode and provided a rapid sample treating-detection method of lead in fruits.
