Directly determining trace compounds in actual sample by ambient ionization mass spectrometry (AIMS) has always been a challenge. Due to the excellent adsorption and desorption properties of nanomaterials, AIMS combined with nanomaterials can improve the adsorption and desorption properties of MS....

Vegetables can contain co-formulants derived from the use of plant protection products (PPPs) in crops. Thus, in the current study co-formulants were determined in different fruits and vegetables and their leaves by gas and liquid chromatography coupled to Q-Orbitrap high-resolution mass...

Amoxicillin is a beta-lactam group of antibiotics used against bacterial infections. The growth of the antibiotic market and abuse of amoxicillin led to its accumulation in nature, especially in foods. Thus, rapid amoxicillin tests are needed to protect human health and increase food safety. In...

Antimicrobial bacterial cellulose (BC) membranes incorporated with carbon dots (CDs) were developed to improve the shelf life and ensure the safety of minced beef during 9 days of storage at 4°C. An ex-situ method was used to develop BC-CDs with different CDs loading capacities (16.50, 22.50, and...

The development of different matrix adsorbents is a research focus in the multiresidue analysis of veterinary drugs in foods. In this study, a novel elastic matrix adsorbent based on a reduced graphene oxide-coated melamine sponge was prepared and applied in matrix purification for the simultaneous ...

Emerging pollutants such as natural and manufactured chemicals, insecticides, pesticides, surfactants, and other biological agents such as personal care products, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and many industrial discharges hamper the aquatic environment. Nanomaterials and microplastics, among the...

Bromadiolone and brodifacoum, the most frequently used anticoagulant rodenticides, are highly toxic and pose a threat to public health by causing food poisoning incidents. Here, we developed a fluorescence microplate immunoassay for facile and sensitive detection of bromadiolone and brodifacoum by...

Developing a platform for the selective detection and effective monitor of toxic contaminants is a major challenge to address organic contaminants contamination in environmental science. Here, for the first time, the thickness-controllable Fe₃O₄@MIL-100(Fe) heterogeneous materials with special...

The pure beta emitter ⁹⁰Sr (T_1/2 = 28.8 y) is a typical contaminant released by nuclear accidents and nuclear explosions. In the event of a nuclear disaster, it is crucial to identify radioactive pollutants quickly, to expedite the public's awareness of radiation exposure. In this work, a rapid ...

Milk has a high nutritional value. However, milk is easily contaminated in the production, processing, and storage processes, which harms consumers' health. Therefore, the harmful substances' detection in milk is important. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have proven high potential in food safety...
