Shellfish toxins, mainly derived from phytoplankton, cause diarrhea and poisoning in humans who consume contaminated seafood. Many studies suggest that diarrheal shellfish toxins cause functional changes in various cells. In order to protect shellfish products, it is becoming increasingly important to remove these contaminants from the ocean. Public attention plays a crucial role in reducing the risk of acute intoxication caused by contaminated seafood. Monitoring algal toxins is the best way to ensure that seafood is safe and clean. In order to attain these objectives, a variety of technologies were developed and constructed for the purpose of detecting and decontaminating algal toxins in aquatic environments. A review of the current literature regarding the detection and detoxification of diarrheal shellfish toxins is presented in this article.","PeriodicalId":21090,"journal":{"name":"Reviews in Analytical Chemistry","volume":"CE-32 1","pages":"314 - 323"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84574415","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I–III–VI QDs also have a size-dependent luminescence in the visible and near-infrared ranges, and their fluorescence quantum yields can exceed 50% especially when coated with ZnS shells, thus offering great potential for applications in illumination, display, and bioimaging. The review focuses on the synthesis of group I–III–VI QDs, their properties, and applications. In the first part, we discuss the approaches to synthesize these QDs. In the second section, we provide an overview of the applications of I–III–VI QDs in food safety detection, with emphasis on the detection of heavy metal ions, foodborne pathogens, food additives, pesticide, and veterinary drug residues.

The fabricated electrode’s surface morphology and composition were characterised by scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope. The poly(r-o-NBA)/GQDs/CPE showed high electrocatalytic activity towards the oxidation of naproxen (NPX) using cyclic and differential pulse voltammetric methods. The effect of scan rate on the oxidation peak of NPX suggests that the electrode process was typically diffusion-controlled. In addition, the effect of pH reflects the participation of protons in the oxidation process of NPX. The peak current is linearly proportional to the concentration of NPX ranging from 1.0 to 100.0 µM, with the correlation coefficient (R 2), sensitivity, limit of detection (3σ), and limit of quantification (10σ) being 0.9995, 0.419 µA·µM−1·cm−2, 0.672, and 2.241 µM, respectively. Using chronoamperometry, the diffusion coefficient of NPX at the poly(r-o-NBA)/GQDs/CPE was estimated to be 5.36 × 10−6 cm2·s−1. The proposed electrode has good reproducibility, stability, and high selectivity for NPX oxidation. The obtained recovery range (96.7–102.0%) means that the proposed sensor performed satisfactorily when applied for the detection of NPX in its pharmaceutical formulations.","PeriodicalId":21090,"journal":{"name":"Reviews in Analytical Chemistry","volume":"1 1","pages":"168 - 179"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80577307","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The current study presents two novel methods: first is a micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (MEKC). Background electrolyte is borate buffer (40 mM, pH 9.2) containing 30 mM sodium dodecyl sulfate and methanol (ratio 80:20%, v/v), measured at 210 nm. Second is a direct double A max spectrophotometric method; minor component, TCC, is measured directly at its distant λ max (373 nm), at zero absorption of ETXB. Then, a ten-fold dilution step is carried out to eliminate TCC spectral interference and ETXB is determined at its λ max (282 nm). Both drugs’ concentrations disclose obedient linearities at 2–100 μg·mL−1 in MEKC, versus 3–25 and 40–350 μg·mL−1 for TCC and ETXB, respectively, in spectrophotometry.
