Efficient conversion and highly sensitive detection of PAEs in milk based on hydrazinolysis reaction and hydrogen bonding using SERS technique. Anal Chim Acta 2025; 1345:343737. [PMID: 40015779 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2025.343737] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/24/2024] [Revised: 01/22/2025] [Accepted: 01/27/2025] [Indexed: 03/01/2025]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Phthalate esters (PAEs), a diverse group of plasticizers with reproductive and developmental toxicity, have their residues in milk packaging increasing with lipid solubility as the storage time elapses, thereby posing a serious threat to human health. Detection methods based on chromatography and mass spectrometry are technically mature, with high sensitivity. However, their sample pretreatment is complicated, the instruments used are expensive, and they have high environmental requirements, making them unsuitable for on-site detection. RESULTS The SERS technique is more portable, rapid, highly sensitive, and low-cost in substance detection. We used Au@Ag@IP6 NPs as the SERS substrate to conduct precise quantitative detection of PAEs residues in milk. In this method, PAEs first need to react with hydrazine hydrate to generate phthalhydrazide. Taking advantage of the strong metal complexing ability of IP6, an ultra-thin coating is formed on the silver shell. Through the hydrogen bonding effect between phthalhydrazide and IP6, phthalhydrazide is tightly adsorbed in the "hot spots" among Au@Ag@IP6 NPs, thus obtaining an extremely enhanced signal, enabling rapid detection within 15 min. This method elaborated the preparation process of Au@Ag@IP6 NPs, verified the stability of the substrate, optimized the reaction conditions of PAEs, and conducted spiked tests on milk. The spiked recovery rate ranges from 85 % to 115 %, and the relative standard deviation (RSD) value is less than 10 %. SIGNIFICANCE This scheme can achieve rapid detection of plasticizers in milk within 15 min by uniformly converting various PAEs molecules into phthalhydrazide and utilizing the strong adsorption of nanoparticles to phthalhydrazide. The synthesized nanoparticles have a strong hydrogen bonding effect with most substances containing the N element, and it is expected that this scheme can be extended to the detection of other systems with high nitrogen content.

Abstract
The widespread occurrence of endocrine disruptor compounds in wastewater has garnered significant attention owing to their toxicity, even at low concentrations, and their persistence in the water body. Among various analytical techniques, electrochemical sensors become popular for the environmental monitoring of water pollutants due to their low cost, rapid detection, high sensitivity, and selectivity. In this study, the mesoporous Ni (MNi) material was synthesized with an innovative method using Pluronic™ F-127 as a soft template and applied as a modifier for the simultaneous electrochemical sensing of hydroquinone (HQ), catechol (CC), bisphenol A (BPA), and bisphenol S (BPS). MNi with high porosity efficiently enhanced the redox-active surface area and conductivity of the glassy carbon electrode contributing to a significantly improved sensitivity in the detection of target chemicals. The pore size and surface area of MNi were estimated based on atomic force microscopy and Brunauer Emmett and Teller techniques to be ∼14.2 nm and 31.1 m2 g-1, respectively. The limit of detection for HQ, CC, BPA, and BPS was determined to be 5.3, 5.7, 5.6, and 61.5 nM, respectively. The electrochemical sensor presented in this study holds promise as a platform for developing portable and miniaturized tools offering the rapid and sensitive detection of these hazardous phenolic compounds in environmental water samples.

Abstract
With rapidly increasing environmental pollution, there is an urgent need for the development of fast, low-cost, and effective sensing devices for the detection of various organic and inorganic substances. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are well known for their superior optoelectronic and physicochemical properties, and have, therefore, attracted a great deal of interest in the sensor arena. The introduction of AgNPs onto the surface of two-dimensional (2D) structures, incorporation into conductive polymers, or within three-dimensional (3D) nanohybrid architectures is a common strategy to fabricate novel platforms with improved chemical and physical properties for analyte sensing. In the first section of this review, the main wet chemical reduction approaches for the successful synthesis of functional AgNPs for electrochemical sensing applications are discussed. Then, a brief section on the sensing principles of voltammetric and amperometric sensors is given. The current utilization of silver nanoparticles and silver-based composite nanomaterials for the fabrication of voltammetric and amperometric sensors as novel platforms for the detection of environmental pollutants in water matrices is summarized. Finally, the current challenges and future directions for the nanosilver-based electrochemical sensing of environmental pollutants are outlined.

Abstract
Nanozymes have been widely used to construct colorimetric sensors due to their advantages of cost-effectiveness, high stability, good biocompatibility, and ease of modification. The emergence of nanozymes greatly enhanced the detection sensitivity and stability of the colorimetric sensing platform. Recent significant research has focused on designing various sensors based on nanozymes with peroxidase-like activity for colorimetric analysis. However, with the deepening of research, nanozymes with peroxidase-like activity has also exposed some problems, such as weak affinity and low catalytic activity. In view of the above issues, existing investigations have shown that the catalytic properties of nanozymes can be improved by adding surface modification and changing the structure of nanomaterials. In this review, we summarize the recent trends and advances of colorimetric sensors based on several typical nanozymes with peroxidase-like activities, including noble metals, metal oxides, metal sulfides/metal selenides, and carbon and metal-organic frameworks (MOF). Finally, the current challenges and prospects of colorimetric sensors based on nanozymes with peroxidase-like activity are summarized and discussed to provide a reference for researchers in related fields.

Abstract
Phenolic compounds are widely spread in surface water, mainly in developing countries, where sewage and wastewater treatment are still reduced. Thus, this work quantified these pollutants in the Doce River analyzing the associated risk for the environment and human health. This river is in the state of Minas Gerais in Brazil and was recently impacted by the collapse of a mining dam that compromised the resilience of the entire watershed. For that purpose, a methodology for simultaneous identification and quantification of 17 different phenols was developed. It was possible to verify phenolic compounds' occurrence with concentration ranging from 0.13 to 24.16 µg·L-1. 2-Nitrophenol and bisphenol A appeared in all samples analyzed. The analytical method was processed using solid-phase extraction (SPE) (C18 cartridge), gas chromatography with FID, and mass spectrometry to define the analytes' retention time. For case validation, the selectivity, linearity, detection and quantification limits, sensitivity, precision, accuracy, resolution, matrix effect, and peak quality were assessed. Four different solvents were tested in the recovery-grade trials, which were dichloromethane, methanol, acetonitrile, and ethyl acetate. Among them, methanol had a better performance and was used throughout all analyses. The phenolic compounds had a recovery degree higher than 50% after SPE, regardless of the matrices.

Abstract
Fabrication of temperature-influenced nanoparticles over the superficial region of glassy carbon electrode (GCE) stimulates the electrocatalytic activity owing to their morphology, defective sites, and higher active surface area, etc. In this regard, we have fabricated annealed magnesium stannate nanoparticles (Mg2SnO4 NPs) on GCE for nanomolar level detection of hazardous flavoring and pharmaceutical compound Rutin (RT). To analyze the impact of temperature, we have compared annealed Mg2SnO4 NPs with unannealed magnesium stannate hydrate (MgSnO3·3H2O) particles. The physicochemical properties of synthesized materials were characterized with different microscopic and spectroscopic techniques. From these studies, annealed Mg2SnO4 NPs formed purely without any flith and existence of water molecules as compared to unannealed MgSnO3·3H2O. Moreover as fabricated, Mg2SnO4 NPs/GCE outcomes with higher redox behavior compared to other electrodes in presence of RT at optimized working buffer (pH = 7.0). Interestingly, the electrode successfully established a dual wider linear response (0.062-34.8 & 34.8-346.8 µM) with a nanomolar detection limit (1 nM) and higher sensitivity. The practicability analysis of the proposed sensor also affords excellent selectivity, reproducibility, repeatability, reversibility, and storage stability. Furthermore, the real sample analysis was carried out in blood and orange samples fallout with better recovery results.

Abstract
A multilayered iron oxide/reduced graphene oxide (ION-RGO) nanocomposite electrode is reported for the voltammetric sensing of bisphenol-A (BPA). Structural characterizations reveal the nanocomposite features RGO sheets decorated with nanometric spherical ION in a mixture of maghemite and magnetite phases. ITO substrate modified with the ION-RGO multilayered film exhibits strong electrocatalytic effect toward BPA oxidation, which is made possible by Fe(III) catalysts generated at the ION's surface after scanning the electrode potential from below 0 V (vs Ag/AgCl) and followed by the RGO phase conducting the transferred electrons. Under optimized differential pulse voltammetry conditions, the proposed sensor shows three linear working ranges 0.09-1.17 (r2 = 0.999), 1.17-3.81 (r2 = 0.995) and 3.81-8.20 (r2 = 0.998), with the highest sensitivity equaling 7.76 μA cm-2/μmol L-1 and the lowest limit of detection of 15 nmol L-1. A single electrode can be used for at least twenty consecutive runs loosing less than 15% of sensitivity, whereas electrodes fabricated in different bacthes exhibit almost identical perfomances. Determination of BPA in a thermal paper sample shows no difference (at 95% confidence level) between the proposed sensor and HPLC/UV. The sensor is neither influenced by the matrix composition nor by other emerging contaminants.

Highly sensitive determination of endocrine disrupting chemicals in foodstuffs through magnetic solid-phase extraction followed by high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2021; 101:1666-1675. [PMID: 32888325 DOI: 10.1002/jsfa.10787] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2020] [Revised: 08/15/2020] [Accepted: 09/05/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), proved to be potential carcinogenic threats to human health, have received great concerns in food field. It was essential to develop effective methods to detect EDCs in food samples. The present study proposed an efficient method to determine trace EDCs including estrone (E1), 17β-estradiol (E2), estriol (E3) and bisphenol A (BPA) based on magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) coupled high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) in meat samples. RESULTS Fe3 O4 @COF(TpBD)/TiO2 nanocomposites were synthesized via functionalization of magnetic covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with titanium dioxide (TiO2 ) nanoparticles, and used as absorbents of MSPE to enrich EDCs. The efficient EDCs enrichment relies on π-π stacking interaction, hydrogen bonding, and the interaction between titanium ions (IV, Ti4+ ) and hydroxyl groups in EDCs, which improves the selectivity and sensitivity. Under the optimized conditions, target EDCs were rapidly extracted through MSPE with 5 min. Combining Fe3 O4 @COF(TpBD)/TiO2 based MSPE and HPLC-MS/MS to determine EDCs, good linearities were observed with correlation coefficient (R2 ) ≥ 0.9989. The limits of detection (LODs) and limits of quantification (LOQs) were 0.13-0.41 μg kg-1 and 0.66-1.49 μg kg-1 , respectively. Moreover, the proposed method was successfully applied to real samples analysis. CONCLUSIONS The established MSPE-HPLC-MS/MS method was successfully applied to determine EDCs in meat samples with rapidness, improved selectivity and sensitivity. It shows great prospects for EDCs detection in other complicated matrices. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
This work presents the association of cloud point extraction (CPE) and electroanalysis for the selective and sensitive determination of methyl parathion (MP) in honey. The CPE step provided the pre-concentration of MP from a complex sample, in which the optimized extraction parameters (Triton X-100 concentration of 0.75% w/v, NaCl concentration of 1.0% w/v and heating time of 30 min) were investigated using a factorial design (23). The detection of MP was performed using a cathodically pre-treated boron-doped diamond (BDD) working electrode and square wave voltammetry (SWV), after a suitable dilution of the CPE extract in Britton-Robinson buffer pH 6.0 as the supporting electrolyte. MP presented three electrochemical processes over the BDD surface, but only the reduction peak at around -0.7 V was monitored for the MP determination (higher detectability). Improved reproducibility was reached by applying an in situ cleaning step (+2.0 V for 15 s) followed by a re-activation process (-2.0 V for 15 s) between measurements. Using the optimized variables, a linear range between 0.1 and 2.0 μmol L-1 was obtained for MP with a limit of detection of 0.006 μmol L-1, a 6-fold lower value when compared with the value attained without the CPE step. The experimental enrichment factor of MP was 6.1. Also, the optimized CPE allowed the determination of MP in honey samples with good accuracy (recovery between 94 and 106%), which was not possible using direct detection (without CPE) due to the matrix interference. This is the first paper that demonstrates the combination of CPE and electroanalysis for the determination of an organic compound.

Abstract
Because of its high surface area and combination of various functional groups, graphene oxide (GO) is currently one of the most actively studied materials for electroanalytical applications. It is not practical to utilize self-supported GO on its own and thus it is commonly integrated with different supporting carriers. Having a large lateral size, GO can only wrap the particles of the support and thus can significantly reduce the surface area of porous materials. To achieve synergy from the high surface area and polyfunctional nature of GO, and the rigid structure of a porous support, the lateral size of GO must essentially be decreased. Recently reported graphene oxide quantum dots (GOQDs) can fulfil this task. Here we report the successful preparation of an SiO2-GOQDs hybrid, where GOQDs have been incorporated into the mesoporous network of silica. The SiO2-GOQDs emit a strong luminescence with a band maximum at 404 nm. The Raman spectrum of SiO2-GOQDs shows two distinct peaks at 1585 cm−1 (G-peak) and 1372 cm−1 (D-peak), indicating the presence of a graphene ordered basal plane with aromatic sp2-domains and a disordered oxygen-containing structure. Covalent immobilization of GOQDs onto aminosilica via such randomly structured oxygen fragments was proven with the help of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, solid-state cross-polarization magic angle spinning 13C nuclear magnetic resonance, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. SiO2-GOQDs were used as a modifier of a carbon paste electrode for differential pulse voltammetry determination of two antibiotics (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) and two endocrine disruptors (diethylstilbestrol (DES) and estriol (EST)). The modified electrodes demonstrated a significant signal enhancement for EST (370%) and DES (760%), which was explained by a π–π stacking interaction between GOQDs and the aromatic system of the analytes. Graphene oxide quantum dots incorporated into a mesoporous silica network have been used as a modifier of a carbon paste electrode for the determination of antibiotics and hormones.![]()

Abstract
An integrated study was conducted to determine the presence of six types of endocrine disrupting chemicals (bisphenol A, triclosan, two alkylphenols, two phenylphenols, eleven organophosphorus pesticides and seven parabens) in the fish and seafood samples from Europe and North Africa. The proposed method involves ultrasound-assisted extraction followed by continuous solid-phase extraction prior to GC-MS analysis. Analytical quality parameters such as linearity, accuracy, precision, sensitivity and selectivity were all good. Limits of detections ranged from 0.5 to 20.0 ng/kg. The relative standard deviation was lower than 7.5% and recoveries ranged from 84 to 105%. The method was successfully used to determine the target analytes in 20 fish and seafood samples from different fish shops and supermarkets in Europe and North Africa. Analyte contents spanned the range 4.6-730 ng/kg and were all below the maximum legally allowed limits. EDCs most frequently found in the samples analysed were dichlorvos, 2-phenylphenol and nonylphenol.
