The stability test showed that the color parameters of the CuNPs-based indicator had no significant color changes during 30 d of storage. The prepared indicator had an excellent and selective sensitivity to H₂S gas produced during beef spoilage. The prepared indicator was used in the beef package to monitor its shelf life. The CuNPs-based colorimetric indicator showed noticeable color changes from white to brown due to the reaction of CuNPs with sulfide gases and the production of Cu₂S and CuS compounds, confirmed by XPS analysis. The pH and total viable count results indicated a perfect correlation between the colorimetric indicator and the qualitative parameters determining spoilage. The results of the color change of the indicator used in the damaged package showed that not only was the color change of the indicator irreversible, but it also clearly showed the stage of spoilage of the beef during its storage. The CuNPs-based colorimetric indicator provides a promising approach in intelligent packaging systems of meat products to monitor their freshness with the naked eye.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":382,"journal":{"name":"LWT - Food Science and Technology","volume":"212 ","pages":"Article 116949"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142554731","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study presents a novel ratiometric electrochemical paper-based aptasensor for AFB₁ detection that utilizes a structure-switching aptamer. The sensor detects AFB₁ by folding the DNA aptamer, reducing the electron transfer efficiency between the methylene blue (MB) molecules attached to the DNA and the electrode surface. An inner reference element modified with ferrocene (Fc) is co-assembled on the electrode surface of the paper-based biosensor to enhance the accuracy of AFB₁ detection. In the presence of target AFB₁, a folded target–aptamer complex is formed, distancing the MB molecules from the electrode and generating a low current signal in a differential pulse voltammetry mode. The ratio of oxidation currents for MB and Fc serves as the metric for monitoring AFB₁ levels. The detection range spans from 20.0 to 1000.0 ng mL⁻¹, with a limit of detection of 7.6 ng mL⁻¹. The paper-based aptasensor exhibits excellent specificity and stability.

The principles of circular economy offer a sustainable solution by valorizing this waste and transforming it into valuable products. This study investigates the potential of avocado by-products, particularly peels and seeds, as a source of procyanidins. Pulsed electric field (PEF) technology has been shown to increase the extraction yield of valuable compounds from food waste/losses. In our study, we optimized the PEF treatment of avocado peels and seeds for the extraction of procyanidins by using Box-Behnken designs with response surface methodology and desirability functions. The effects evaluated were the frequency (1, 50, 100 Hz), the electric field strength (0.8, 1.1, 1.5 kV/cm) and the number of pulses (100, 150, 200) for avocado peel, while for the avocado seeds were the frequency (50, 100, 150 Hz), the electric field (0.6, 0.7, 0.8 kV/cm) and the total operating time (1, 5, 10 s). Our study showed that the procyanidin content measured by HPLC-FLD significantly increased in PEF-pretreated avocado peel and seeds. The optimized treatment conditions include a frequency of 50 Hz, an electric field strength of 1.31 kV/cm, and 175 electric pulses for the avocado peels, resulting in a procyanidin content of 9798.32 ± 103.83 μg CE/g d.w. For avocado seeds, the optimal conditions include a frequency of 100 Hz, an electric field strength of 0.75 kV/cm, and total operating time of 5.5 s, resulting in a procyanidin content of 21103.12 ± 234.76 μg/g d.w.
