Abstract
In this study, a gold nanoparticles colorimetric probe (AuNPs) with direct response to mercury ions (Hg2+) were developed using treated N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) and chloroauric acid (HAuCl4) as precursors. NMP showed good reducibility after high temperature hydrolysis and could be used as reducing and stabilizing agent to synthesize AuNPs. The prepared AuNPs have obvious characteristic absorption peaks and appear wine-red. At the same time, it was found that the presence of Hg2+ can cause the aggregation of AuNPs, increased the absorbance at 700 nm, and changed the color of the solution into blue-gray. This method is capable of sensitive and specific determination of Hg2+ ranging from 1 to 30 μM, with the limit of detection (LOD) at 0.3 μM. The method showed good specificity for the determination of Hg2+ and has the potential to be applied to Hg2+ detection in sewage samples in the environment.

Abstract
Electrochemical immunosensors have shown great potential in clinical diagnosis, food safety, environmental protection, and other fields. The feasible and innovative combination of enzyme catalysis and other signal-amplified elements has yielded exciting progress in the development of electrochemical immunosensors. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is one of the most popularly used enzyme reporters in bioassays. It has been widely utilized to design electrochemical immunosensors owing to its significant advantages (e.g., high catalytic activity, high turnover number, and excellent substrate specificity). In this work, we summarized the achievements of electrochemical immunosensors with ALP as the signal reporter. We mainly focused on detection principles and signal amplification strategies and briefly discussed the challenges regarding how to further improve the performance of ALP-based immunoassays.

Abstract
The increasing incidence of diseases caused by highly carcinogenic aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) in food demands a simple, fast, and cost-effective detection technique capable of sensitively monitoring AFM1. Recent works predominantly focus on the electrochemical aptamer-based biosensor, which still faces challenges and high costs in experimentally identifying an efficient candidate aptamer. However, the direct electrochemical detection of AFM1 has been scarcely reported thus far. In this study, we observed a significant influence on the electrochemical signals of ferric ions at a gold nanoparticle-modified glassy carbon electrode (AuNPs/GCE) by adding varying amounts of AFM1. Utilizing ferricyanide as a sensitive indicator of AFM1, we have introduced a novel approach for detecting AFM1, achieving an unprecedentedly low detection limit of 1.6 × 10-21 g/L. Through monitoring the fluorescence quenching of AFM1 with Fe3+ addition, the interaction between them has been identified at a ratio of 1:936. Transient fluorescence analysis reveals that the fluorescence quenching process is predominantly static. It is interesting that the application of iron chelator diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) cannot prevent the interaction between AFM1 and Fe3+. With a particle size distribution analysis, it is suggested that a combination of AFM1 and Fe3+ occurs and forms a polymer-like aggregate. Nonetheless, the mutual reaction mechanism between AFM1 and Fe3+ remains unexplained and urgently necessitates unveiling. Finally, the developed sensor is successfully applied for the AFM1 test in real samples, fully meeting the detection requirements for milk.

Abstract
The assessment of the risks of mycotoxins to humans through consuming contaminated foods resulted in specific legislation that evaluates the presence, quantities, and type of mycotoxins in agricultural commodities and foodstuffs. Thus, to ensure compliance with legislation, food safety and consumer health, the development of suitable analytical procedures for identifying and quantifying mycotoxins in the free or modified form, in low-concentration and in complex samples is necessary. This review reports the application of the modern chemical methods of analysis employed in mycotoxin detection in agricultural commodities and foodstuffs. It is reported extraction methods with reasonable accuracy and those present characteristics according to guidelines of Green Analytical Chemistry. Recent trends in mycotoxins detection using analytical techniques are presented and discussed, evaluating the robustness, precision, accuracy, sensitivity, and selectivity in the detection of different classes of mycotoxins. Sensitivity coming from modern chromatographic techniques allows the detection of very low concentrations of mycotoxins in complex samples. However, it is essential the development of more green, fast and more suitable accuracy extraction methods for mycotoxins, which agricultural commodities producers could use. Despite the high number of research reporting the use of chemically modified voltammetric sensors, mycotoxins detection still has limitations due to the low selectivity from similar chemical structures of mycotoxins. Furthermore, spectroscopic techniques are rarely employed due to the limited number of reference standards for calibration procedures.

Abstract
Aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) is detected in the milk of animals after ingestion of aflatoxin B1-contaminated food; since 2002, it has been categorized as a group I carcinogen. In this work, a silicon-based optoelectronic immunosensor for the detection of AFM1 in milk, chocolate milk, and yogurt has been developed. The immunosensor consists of ten Mach-Zehnder silicon nitride waveguide interferometers (MZIs) integrated on the same chip with the respective light sources, and an external spectrophotometer for transmission spectra collection. The sensing arm windows of MZIs are bio-functionalized after chip activation with aminosilane by spotting an AFM1 conjugate with bovine serum albumin. For AFM1 detection, a three-step competitive immunoassay is employed, including the primary reaction with a rabbit polyclonal anti-AFM1 antibody, followed by biotinylated donkey polyclonal anti-rabbit IgG antibody and streptavidin. The assay duration was 15 min with limits of detection of 0.005 ng/mL in both full-fat and chocolate milk, and 0.01 ng/mL in yogurt, which are lower than the maximum allowable concentration of 0.05 ng/mL set by the European Union. The assay is accurate (% recovery values 86.7-115) and repeatable (inter- and intra-assay variation coefficients <8%). The excellent analytical performance of the proposed immunosensor paves the way for accurate on-site AFM1 determination in milk.

Abstract
Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a nephrotoxic and carcinogenic mycotoxin frequently found in coffee, which directly impacts human health and the economy of many countries. For this reason, there has been a growing need for simple and sensitive tools for the on-site detection of this mycotoxin. In this study, we developed a label-free impedimetric immunosensor to detect OTA. The biosensor was built on a thin-film gold electrode evaporated on glass substrtes, modified with a self-assembled cysteamine monolayer and anti-OTA antibodies. Atomic force microscopy and Microspectroscopy RAMAN confirmed the successful functionalization of the electrodes. The biosensor performance was evaluated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and the measurements indicated a linear relationship between the change in the impedance values and the OTA concentration in the range from 0.5 to 100 ng mL-1 with a limit of detection of 0.15 ng mL-1. The biosensor was highly selective and did not suffer matrix interference when analyzed in coffee samples. Furthermore, considering the small sample volumes, the short time required for analysis, and the possibility of miniaturization, the developed biosensor represents a promising analytical device for on-site coffee quality analyses.

Abstract
This study aimed to devise a nontoxic electrochemical immunosensor to quantitatively determine aflatoxin M1 by chronoamperometry with novel anti-idiotypic nanobody-functionalized screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs). Anti-idiotype nanobodies (AIdnb) were developed to replace the high toxic chemically synthesized antigen. AIdnb was immobilized on the surface of SPCE via covalent coupling as capture reagent. The functionalized SPCEs were followed by characterization using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy mapping, and atomic force microscopy. After optimizing experimental parameters, the assembled immunosensor exhibited a good linearity range of 0.25-5.0 ng/mL, with the limit of detection of 0.09 ng/mL. The immunosensor showed a satisfactory selectivity to AFM1, without interference from analogs, including zearalenone, ochratoxin, and fumonisin B1. For practical application, the developed immunosensor was validated using real spiked samples with the recovery range 82.0%-108.0% and relative standard deviation (RSD) 10.1%-13.0%, indicating that it could be used in milk samples.

Abstract
Accurate and rapid detection of Aflatoxins as one of the most hazardous compounds in foodstuffs is very important. In this study, a label-free electrochemical aptasensor was developed to identify aflatoxin M1 using a reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs)-based pencil graphite electrode (PGE). The morphological characteristics of the electrode surface were investigated using SEM and rGO functional groups were confirmed by FTIR. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques were used to characterize various stages of electrode modification. In order to optimize the impedimetric response of the aptasensor, aptamer immobilization time, aptamer concentration, and binding aflatoxin M1 with aptamer time were optimized. Under optimal conditions, the linear concentration range of 0.5-800 ng/L and limit of detection (LOD) of 0.3 ng/L were obtained for aflatoxin M1 by measuring the resistance charge transfer data. Finally, the fabricated aptasensor was successfully used to measure AFM1 compared to HPLC method.

Abstract
A rapid detection method is introduced for residual trace levels of triazophos in water and agricultural products using an immunoassay based on catalytic hairpin self-assembly (CHA). The gold nanoparticle (AuNPs) surface was modified with triazophos antibody and sulfhydryl bio-barcode, and an immune competition reaction system was established between triazophos and its ovalbumin-hapten (OVA-hapten). The bio-barcode served as a catalyst to continuously induce the CHA reaction to achieve the dual signal amplification. The method does not rely on the participation of enzymes, and the addition of fluorescent materials in the last step avoids interfering factors, such as a fluorescence burst. The emitted fluorescence was detected at 489/521 nm excitation/emission wavelengths. The detection range of the developed method was 0.01-50 ng/mL for triazophos, and the limit of detection (LOD) was 0.0048 ng/mL. The developed method correlates well with the results obtained by LC-MS/MS, with satisfactory recovery and sensitivity. In sum, the designed method is reliable and provides a new approach to detect pesticide residues rapidly and quantitatively.

Abstract
The coexistence of mycotoxins in agricultural products poses a serious threat to food safety. This study developed a dual immunochromatographic test strips (DICTS) method based on double antibodies labeled with time-resolved fluorescent microspheres (TRFM) to realize simultaneous rapid detection of aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) and ochratoxin A (OTA) in milk. As bridge antibody, the polyclonal antibody (pAb) was first conjugated with the TRFM and then with the monoclonal antibody (mAb). Meanwhile, a biotin-streptavidin system was introduced to replace the traditional goat anti-mouse Immunoglobulin G, thus providing a stable signal on the control line. After optimization, the detection limit of AFM1 and OTA in milk was respectively 0.018 and 0.036 ng/mL. The recoveries of intraassay and interassay experiments ranged from 89.65% to 103.99%. The accuracy, repeatability, and specificity of the developed TRFM-DICTS were estimated. The results of TRFM-DICTS showed a high consistency with those of the ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.

Abstract
Safety and quality are key issues for the food industry. Consequently, there is growing demand to preserve the food chain and products against substances toxic, harmful to human health, such as contaminants, allergens, toxins, or pathogens. For this reason, it is mandatory to develop highly sensitive, reliable, rapid, and cost-effective sensing systems/devices, such as electrochemical sensors/biosensors. Generally, conventional techniques are limited by long analyses, expensive and complex procedures, and skilled personnel. Therefore, developing performant electrochemical biosensors can significantly support the screening of food chains and products. Here, we report some of the recent developments in this area and analyze the contributions produced by electrochemical biosensors in food screening and their challenges.

Abstract
A label-free electrochemical aptasensor was constructed for the sensitive and selective determination of AFM1. For preparation of the aptasensor, the AFM1 aptamer was immobilised on the surface of a glassy carbon electrode modified with hemin encapsulated in Fe-based metal-organic frameworks (hemin@Fe-MIL-101). The morphology and the structure of Fe-MIL-101 and hemin@Fe-MIL-101 were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller-N2 sorption methods. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry were performed to monitor the fabrication process of the electrochemical aptasensor. The electrochemical reduction current of hemin encapsulated in Fe-MIL-101 serves as a signal for the quantitative determination of AFM1. Differential pulse voltammetry was done to determine the AFM1 concentration in the linear range of 1.0×10-1-100.0 ng/ml. The detection limit of AFM1 was estimated to be 4.6×10-2 ng/ml. Finally, the fabricated aptasensor was applied to determine AFM1 in raw and boiled milk samples.

Abstract
Simultaneous detection of patulin (PAT) and ochratoxin A (OTA) in food products is in great demand, which can prevent toxins from being exposed to human and animal bodies. However, simultaneous detection of multiple targets still faces a challenge. Herein, we developed a novel electrochemical aptasensor for the simultaneous detection of PAT and OTA in apple juice based on gold nanoparticles decorated black phosphorus (AuNPs-BP) nanomaterial. AuNPs-BP function?/work? as a sensing platform for loading much different electrochemical signal molecules functionalized aptamers. In this context, methylene blue functionalized PAT aptamers (Mb-PAT-aptamers) and ferrocene functionalized OTA aptamers (Fc-OTA-aptamers) have been introduced here to fabricate the aptasensor. Fc close to electrode surface showed a strong signal, whereas Mb was far away from electrode surface so exhibited a weak signal in the absence of OTA and PAT. Two kinds of electrochemical signal changes have been recorded dependent on target of OTA and PAT concentrations. So, simultaneous detection of OTA and PAT is achieved. Under the optimum conditions, using this developed biosensor, PAT and OTA can be quantified at a linearity range of 0.01 × 10-7 μg·mL-1 ~ 0.10 μg·mL-1. In addition, it also has good selectivity, stability and repeatability. For the practical application, it shows promising performance for the simultaneous detection of PAT and OTA in apple juice.

Abstract
Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites of filamentous fungi that can cause toxic effects in human and animal health. Most of the filamentous fungi that produce these mycotoxins belong to four genera, namely, Aspergillus, Penicillium, Fusarium, and Alternaria. Mycotoxigenic fungi, along with mycotoxins, create a constant and serious economic threat for agriculture in many terms, counting product losses due to crop contamination and food spoilage, as well malnutrition when considering nutritional quality degradation. Given the importance of robust and precise diagnostics of mycotoxins and the related producing fungi in the grape food chain, one of the most important agricultural sectors worldwide, the present review initially delivers a comprehensive presentation of mycotoxin reports on grape and derived products, including a wide range of commodities such as fresh grapes, raisins, wine, juices, and other processed products. Next, based on worldwide regulations’ requirements for mycotoxins, and referring to the relative literature, this work presents methodological approaches for mycotoxin determination, and stresses major methods for the detection of fungal species responsible for mycotoxin production. The principle of function and basic technical background on the available analytical and molecular biology techniques developed—including chromatography, mass spectrometry, immunochemical-based assays, biosensors, and molecular assays—is briefly given, and references for their application to grape and derived product testing are highlighted.

Abstract
A new extraction procedure based on combination of a solvent extraction and deep eutectic solvent based dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction has been introduced for the extraction of aflatoxin M1 from cheese samples. In this method, acetonitrile, deionized water, and n-hexane are added onto the sample and vortexed. Owning to different affinities of the substances in cheese toward the mentioned solvents, an efficient and selective extraction of the analyte is done in the acetonitrile phase. After centrifugation, the acetonitrile phase is removed and mixed with a new hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent prepared from N,N-diethanol ammonium chloride and carvacrol as an extraction solvent. The mixture is injected into deionized water, and a cloudy solution is obtained. Eventually, an aliquot of the organic phase is injected into high-performance liquid chromatography-fluorescence detection. After optimizing the effective parameters with the response surface methodology and a quadratic model, limits of detection and quantification were 0.74 and 2.56 ng/kg, respectively. The obtained extraction recovery and enrichment factor were 94% and 94, respectively. Also, intra- (n = 6) and interday (n = 4) precisions were less than or equal to 8.6% at a concentration of 5 ng/kg. The suggested method was applied to determine aflatoxin M1 in different cheese samples.

Abstract
Blueberry (BB) and cherry pomace were investigated as new biosorbents for aflatoxins (AFs) sequestration from buffered solutions, gastrointestinal fluids and model wine. Among the tested biosorbents, BB exhibited the maximum adsorption performance for AFs and hence was further selected for the optimization of experimental parameters like pH, dosage, time and initial concentration of AFs. Material characterizations via scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, N2 adsorption-desorption isothermal studies, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and X-ray photon spectroscopy (XPS) techniques revealed useful information about the texture and chemical composition of the biosorbents. The fitting of isothermal data with different models showed the model suitability trend as: Sips model > Langmuir model > Freundlich model, where the theoretical maximum adsorption capacity calculated from the Sips model was 4.6, 2.9, 2.7 and 2.4 mg/g for AFB1, AFB2, AFG1 and AFG2, respectively. Kinetics study revealed the fast AFs uptake by BB (50-90 min) while thermodynamics studies suggested the exothermic nature of the AFs adsorption from both, single as well as multi-toxin buffer systems, gastrointestinal fluids and model wine. Accrediting to the fast and efficient adsorption performance, green and facile fabrication approach and cost-effectiveness, the newly designed BB pomace can be counted as a promising contender for the sequestration of AFs and other organic pollutants.

Abstract
Mycotoxins are the most widely studied biological toxins, which contaminate foods at very low concentrations. This review describes the emerging extraction techniques and the current and alternatives analytical techniques and methods that have been used to successfully detect and identify important mycotoxins. Some of them have proven to be particularly effective in not only the detection of mycotoxins, but also in detecting mycotoxin-producing fungi. Chromatographic techniques such as high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with various detectors like fluorescence, diode array, UV, liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry, and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, have been powerful tools for analyzing and detecting major mycotoxins. Recent progress of the development of rapid immunoaffinity-based detection techniques such as immunoassays and biosensors, as well as emerging technologies like proteomic and genomic methods, molecular techniques, electronic nose, aggregation-induced emission dye, quantitative NMR and hyperspectral imaging for the detection of mycotoxins in foods, have also been presented.

Abstract
In the present work, a novel biocompatible scaffold was fabricated for the DNA aptamer immobilization. For the first time, amino-functionalized dendritic fibrous nanosilica (KCC-1-nPr-NH2 ) and gold nanoparticle supported by chitosan (AuNPs-CS) were synthesized and electrodeposited successfully on the surface of the glassy carbon electrode by chronoamperometry technique. Unique oligonucleotide of aflatoxin M1 (5'-ATC CGT CAC ACC TGC TCT GAC GCT GGG GTC GAC CCG GAG AAA TGC ATT CCC CTG TGG TGT TGG CTC CCG TAT) labeled by toluidine blue was immobilization on the prepared interface. Hence, a novel aptamer-based bioassay was formed for highly sensitive quantitation of AFM1 using cyclic voltammetry and differential plus voltammetry. The structure and morphology of GQDs-CS/KCC-1-nPr-NH2 were investigated by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, atomic force, scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The achieved low limit of quantification of apta-assay for detection of AFM1 was 10fM. Also, calibration curve was linear from 0.1μM to 10fM in real samples. The proposed apta-assay has acceptable long-term stability. Designed aptasensor has a lot of remarkable advantages including excellent selectivity, sensitivity, and stability that could be used as facile bio-device for the determination of AFM1 in milk samples.

Abstract
This paper proposes a fluorescent aptasensor for the detection of carbendazim (CBZ) in aqueous solution using CBZ-specific aptamer as sensing probe, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and Rhodamine B (RhoB) as indicator, respectively. In the absence of CBZ, CBZ aptamer could wrap AuNPs and maintained it dispersed in NaCl solution basically. Contrarily, the aptamer could specifically combine with CBZ and form a stable aptamer-CBZ complex, leaving AuNPs exposed to be aggregated by NaCl solution. The dispersed AuNPs could efficiently quench the fluorescence of RhoB, but those aggregated AuNPs have poor capability to impair the fluorescent indicator. Thus, the concentration of CBZ could be detected quantitatively through the distinction of the fluorescence intensity. This convenient fluorescent assay for CBZ had a wide linear range from 2.33 to 800 nM and a 2.33 nM limit of detection (LOD). Furthermore, it had high selectivity over pesticides, antibiotics, metal ions and other disrupting chemicals. As for application, the method could determine CBZ in water samples with recoveries in the range of 96.3-111.2%. This fluorescent aptasensor possessed great potential application for CBZ detection in actual aquatic environment.

Abstract
Aflatoxins are potential food pollutants produced by fungi. Among them, aflatoxin M1 (AF M1) is the most toxic. A great deal of concern is associated with AF M1 toxicity. Aflatoxins are potential food pollutants produced by fungi. Among them, aflatoxin M1 (AF M1) is the most toxic. A great deal of concern is associated with AF M1 toxicity. In the present work, a novel aptamer-based bioassay was developed for monitoring aflatoxin M1 (AF M1) in real samples. A chitosan-modified graphene quantum dot (GQD-CS) nanocomposite was used as a biocompatible substrate coated with dendritic fibrous nanosilica functionalized by amine groups (KCC-1-NH2-Tb). Accordingly, an innovative biocompatible polymeric matrix was prepared for aptamer immobilization. The unique oligonucleotide of AF M1 (5'-ATC CGT CAC ACC TGC TCT GAC GCT GGG GTC GAC CCG GAG AAA TGC ATT CCC CTG TGG TGT TGG CTC CCG TAT) labelled by toluidine blue was immobilized on the engineered interface. Hence, a novel aptamer-based bioassay was formed for the highly sensitive quantitation of AF M1 using cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry techniques. The structure and morphology of GQDs-CS/KCC-1-NH2-Tb was investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, atomic force and scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The toxicity tests, which were performed by MTT assays, revealed the biocompatible nature of KCC-1-NH2-Tb. The engineered aptasensor demonstrated excellent behaviour toward the determination of AF M1, where the low limit of quantification was 10 fM. The proposed aptamer-based bioassay was successfully used for the monitoring of AF M1 in milk samples. This work provides a beneficial reference for the sensing of other toxins in food/pharmaceutical assays and veterinary medicine.

Abstract
Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a class of mycotoxin mainly produced by the genera Aspergillus and Penicillium. OTA can cause various forms of kidney, liver and brain diseases in both humans and animals although trace amount of OTA is normally present in food. Therefore, development of fast and sensitive detection technique is essential for accurate diagnosis of OTA. Currently, the most commonly used detection methods are enzyme-linked immune sorbent assays (ELISA) and chromatographic techniques. These techniques are sensitive but time consuming, and require expensive equipment, highly trained operators, as well as extensive preparation steps. These drawbacks limit their wide application in OTA detection. On the contrary, biosensors hold a great potential for OTA detection at for both research and industry because they are less expensive, rapid, sensitive, specific, simple and portable. This paper aims to provide an extensive overview on biosensors for OTA detection by highlighting the main biosensing recognition elements for OTA, the most commonly used nanomaterials for fabricating the sensing interface, and their applications in different read-out types of biosensors. Current challenges and future perspectives are discussed as well.

Abstract
A novel signal-on portable sensing system has been developed for OTA detection using personal glucose meter (PGM) as signal transducer. In the study, we explore the potential of using a short dsDNA as template to trigger the "click" ligation of two DNA strands, further improve the stability of DNA strand on the magnetic beads (MBs) surface, and thereby reduce the background signal. Compared with no "click" ligation, the background signal decreases 7.5 times. Both the sensitivity and selectivity are greatly promoted. A high sensitivity with OTA detection down to 72 pg/mL is achieved, which is comparable with several existing detectors, such as fluorescence-based detectors and electrochemical detectors. The feasibility of the strategy in real samples is well verified and evaluated by detecting OTA in feed samples, indicating the potential application in the food safety field.

Abstract
We reported a carbon nanohorns/gold nanoparticles composites-based impedimetric aptasensor for carbendazim (CBZ) detection in lettuce and orange juice at picogram levels. The increased electron-transfer resistance, resulting from the formation of CBZ-aptamer complex, was recorded by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy as the aptasensor response for CBZ. Under the optimal conditions, the proposed aptasensor displayed a linear response for CBZ ranging from 1 to 1000 pg mL-1 with a detection limit of 0.5 pg mL-1. Noteworthy, the as-developed aptasensor displayed the lowest detection limit for CBZ among the previously reported methods. Common pesticides (atrazine, thiamethoxam, etc.) with 100-fold concentration did not interfere the CBZ detection. For CBZ detection in lettuce and orange juice, satisfactory recoveries were obtained with standard addition method. Statistics demonstrated that no significant differences were found between the data provided by standard HPLC-MS reference method and developed aptasensing method in term of accuracy and precision. We believe that the proposed aptasensor possesses a potential application for CBZ monitoring in agricultural product and food.

Abstract
Mycotoxins are a group of secondary metabolites produced by different species of filamentous fungi and pose serious threats to food safety due to their serious human and animal health impacts such as carcinogenic, teratogenic and hepatotoxic effects. Conventional methods for the detection of mycotoxins include gas chromatography and high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry or other detectors (fluorescence or UV detection), thin layer chromatography and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. These techniques are generally straightforward and yield reliable results; however, they are time-consuming, require extensive preparation steps, use large-scale instruments, and consume large amounts of hazardous chemical reagents. Rapid detection of mycotoxins is becoming an increasingly important challenge for the food industry in order to effectively enforce regulations and ensure the safety of food and feed. In this sense, several studies have been done with the aim of developing strategies to detect mycotoxins using sensing devices that have high sensitivity and specificity, fast analysis, low cost and portability. The latter include the use of microarray chips, multiplex lateral flow, Surface Plasmon Resonance, Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering and biosensors using nanoparticles. In this perspective, thin film sensors have recently emerged as a good candidate technique to meet such requirements. This review summarizes the application and challenges of thin film sensor devices for detection of mycotoxins in food matrices.

Abstract
As a simple and feasible method for acute biotoxicity assessment, personal glucose meter (PGM) can be successfully applied in the early warning of environmental pollutants in sewage. In this paper, the acute biotoxicity of single and joint heavy metals in sewage and real sludge samples was systematically described based on the glucose metabolism of Escherichia coli (E. coli). Results indicated that the biotoxicity order of five single heavy metals in sewage was Hg2+ > As3+ > Cu2+ > Zn2+ > Cd2+. The joint heavy metals of Cu2+ + Zn2+, Cu2+ + Cd2+, and Cu2+ + Hg2+ produced synergistic effects, while Cu2+ + As3+ and Cd2+ + Zn2+ possessed antagonistic effects for the combined biotoxicity. In spiked sludge, Cd2+ and Zn2+ owned higher biotoxicity than Cu2+ and As3+. Notably, the electroplate factory and housing estate sludge respectively showed the highest and lowest inhibition rates as 57.4% and 17.7% under the real sludge biotoxicity assessment. These results demonstrated that PGM was a sensitive and portable method, which could be widely used for acute biotoxicity assessment of heavy metals in sewage sludge.

Abstract
We performed a comparative analysis of the sensitivity of aptamer-based biosensors for detection mycotoxin aflatoxin M₁ (AFM1) depending on the method of immobilization of DNA aptamers and method of the detection. Label-free electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) for ferrocene labeled neutravidin layers were used for this purpose. Amino-modified DNA aptamers have been immobilized at the surface of polyamidoamine dendrimers (PAMAM) of fourth generation (G4) or biotin-modified aptamers were immobilized at the neutravidin layer chemisorbed at gold surface. In the first case the limit of detection (LOD) has been determined as 8.47 ng/L. In the second approach the LOD was similar 8.62 ng/L, which is below of allowable limits of AFM1 in milk and milk products. The aptasensors were validated in a spiked milk samples with good recovery better than 78%. Comparative analysis of the sensitivity of immuno- and aptasensors was also performed and showed comparable sensitivity.

A FRET-based dual-color evanescent wave optical fiber aptasensor for simultaneous fluorometric determination of aflatoxin M1 and ochratoxin A. Mikrochim Acta 2018; 185:508.

Abstract
A dual-color fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) based aptasensor is described for simultaneous determination of the mycotoxins aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) and ochratoxin A (OTA). Aptamers against AFM1 and OTA were labeled with two fluorophores with different excitation wavelengths (Cy5.5; 675 nm; and Alexa 405; 401 nm), respectively. They were used as the signalling probes. A compact dual-color evanescent wave all-fiber detection system with two lasers (635 nm; red; and 405 nm; purple) was used for the simultaneous collection of two-wavelength fluorescence signals. The hybridization of labeled aptamers with complementary sequences (Q-cDNA) labeled with a dark quencher (BHQ3 or dabcyl) causes fluorescence to be strongly reduced because of the fluorescence resonance energy transfer. In the presence of AFM1 and OTA, they bind to their respective aptamer and result in the dissociation of double stranded DNA, which induce fluorescence recovery. Under the optimum conditions, AFM1 and OTA can simultaneously and selectively be determined ranged from 1 ng·L-1 to 1 mg·L-1. The detection limits of AFM1 and OTA are 21 and 330 ng·L-1, respectively (S/N = 3). The FRET-based dual-color detection scheme was applied to the simultaneous detection of AFM1 and OTA in milk with good recovery, precision, and accuracy. Graphical abstract Aptamers against AFM1 and OTA were labeled with two fluorophores with different excitation wavelengths (Cy5.5; 675 nm; and Alexa 405; 401 nm) and then used as signalling probes. A FRET-based aptasensor is described for simultaneous determination of AFM1 and OTA using dual-color evanescent wave system with two lasers (635 nm; red; and 405 nm).

Abstract
We designed a competitive aptamer chemiluminescence assay for ochratoxin A (OTA) on the surface of a single silica photonic crystal microsphere (SPCM) in cereal samples. The structural color of SPCMs is used to recognize and trace the microspheres during process of detection. Anti-aptamer was immobilized on the surface of SPCM. OTA and anti-aptamer competed to bind to aptamer when OTA and its aptamer (labeled by biotin at 5'end) were added in the system. The chemiluminescence signal was developed by the horseradish peroxidase (HRP), luminol and H2O2. The molecules on the single SPCM can produce enough chemiluminescence signal intensity for quantitative detection for OTA. The linear detection range for OTA was from 1 pg/mL to 1 ng/mL and recovery rates were 89%-95%, 81%-92% and 94%-105% in rice, wheat and corn, respectively. The results showed that the developed method for OTA using a single SPCM has a great application potential in cereal samples.

Abstract
Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a potent mycotoxin that poses a risk in food and feed moieties and subject to worldwide regulation. Laboratory-based analytical methods are traditionally employed for reliable OTA quantification, but these methods cannot provide rapid and on-site analysis, where biosensors fill this gap. In this study a label-free quartz crystal microbalance (QCM)-based immunosensor for the detection of OTA, which is one of the most important small molecule contaminants, was developed by direct immobilization of OTA to amine-bearing sensor surfaces using 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDC)/N-Hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) chemistry. The protein-free sensor surface enabled regeneration of sensor surface with 50 mM NaOH and 1% SDS up to 13 times without loss of performance, which would disrupt a protein-containing sensor surface. We developed a QCM immunosensor using the developed sensor surface with a 17.2–200 ng/mL detection range which can be used for on-site detection of feedstuffs.

Abstract
Aflatoxins are potential food pollutants produced by fungi. One of important toxins is aflatoxin M1 (AFM1). A great deal of concern is associated with AFM1 toxicity. In the present study, an innovative electrochemical interface for quantitation of AFM1 based on ternary signal amplification strategy was fabricated. In this work, silver nanoparticles was electrodeposited onto green and biocompatible nanocomposite containing α-cyclodextrin as conductive matrix and graphene quantum dots as amplification element. Therefore, a multilayer film based on α-cyclodextrin, graphene quantum dots, and silver nanoparticles was exploited to develop a highly sensitive electrochemical sensor for detection of AFM1. Fully electrochemical methodology was used to prepare a transducer on a glassy carbon electrode, which provided a high surface area toward sensitive detection of AFM1. The surface morphology of electrode surface was characterized by high-resolution field emission scanning electron microscope. The proposed sensing platform provides a simple tool for AFM1 detection. Under optimized condition, the calibration curve for AFM1 concentration was linear in 0.015mM to 25mM with low limit of quantification of 2μM. The practical analytical utility of the modified electrode was illustrated by determination of AFM1 in unprocessed milk samples.

Abstract
Aflatoxins, which are mainly produced by Aspergillus flavus and parasiticus growing on plants and products stored under inappropriate conditions, represent the most studied group of mycotoxins. Contamination of human and animal milk with aflatoxin M₁, the hydroxylated metabolite of aflatoxin B₁, is an important health risk factor due to its carcinogenicity and mutagenicity. Due to the low concentration of this aflatoxin in milk and milk products, the analytical methods used for its quantification have to be highly sensitive, specific and simple. This paper presents an overview of the analytical methods, especially of the electrochemical immunosensors and aptasensors, used for determination of aflatoxin M₁.

Visual electrochemiluminescence biosensing of aflatoxin M1 based on luminol-functionalized, silver nanoparticle-decorated graphene oxide. Biosens Bioelectron 2017; 100:382-388. [PMID: 28950248 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2017.09.035] [Citation(s) in RCA: 94] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2017] [Revised: 08/11/2017] [Accepted: 09/18/2017] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
A sensitive electrochemiluminescence (ECL) aptasensor for aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) detection by a closed bipolar electrode (BPE) array has been introduced. The thiolated AFM1 aptamer was immobilized on gold nanoparticle-coated magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles (Apt-GMNPs). Luminol-functionalized silver nanoparticle-decorated graphene oxide (GO-L-AgNPs) participates in π-π interactions with the unpaired bases of the immobilized aptamer (Apt-GMNPs-GO-L-AgNPs). After the Apt-GMNPs-GO-L-AgNPs were introduced to a gold anodic BPE array, the individual electrodes were subjected to different concentrations of AFM1. Upon the interaction of AFM1 with the aptamers, the GO-L-AgNPs detach from the aptamer; the resulting ECL of luminol and H2O2 at the anodic poles is monitored using a photomultiplier tube (PMT) or smartphone, and the images are analyzed using ImageJ software. This process triggers thionine reduction at the cathodic poles. Under the optimal conditions obtained by a face-centered central composite design (FCCD), the PMT-based detection of the BPE-ECL aptasensor exhibit a linear response over a wide dynamic range from 5 to 150ngmL-1, with a detection limit of 0.01ngmL-1. Additionally, smartphone-based detection shows a linear relationship between the ECL image gray value and the logarithmic concentration of the AFM1 target over a range of 10-200ngmL-1, with a detection limit of 0.05ngmL-1. Furthermore, the BPE-ECL aptasensor was successfully used to detect AFM1 in milk complex media without any serious interferences with reliable reproducibility (average relative standard deviation (RSD = 2.3%)). This smartphone-based detection opens a new horizon for bioanalysis that does not require a trained technician to operate and is a promising technology for point-of-care testing.
