Fingerprinting and tagging detection of mycotoxins in agri-food products by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy: Principles and recent applications

Environment and food safety: a novel integrative review

“…Generally, the research topics disclosed by the most cited papers included food inspection/detection technique, heavy metal pollution, food additives, food packaging, food allergy, food pesticide, foodborne pathogen and diseases, microplastics, food processing, and production. Various food inspection/detection techniques have been reported, including electrochemical strategies to detect gallic acid in food (Badea et al 2019), thermal imaging technique coupled with chemometrics (Mohd Ali et al 2020), paper-based analysis device for rapid food safety detection (Qi et al 2020), linescan spatially offset Raman spectroscopy technique for subsurface inspection of food (Qin et al 2017), surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy for detection of mycotoxins in food (Wu et al 2021b), chromatography, and mass spectrometry (Pauk et al 2021;Suman et al 2021). In addition, heavy metal pollution has posed great threats on food safety, and a lot of studies are conducted, including the soil heavy metal pollution and food safety (Qin et al 2021) and the impacts of various heavy metals (e.g., cadmium, lead, arsenic) on food safety and human health (Corguinha et al 2015;Suhani et al 2021).…”

Seed/ligand-cooperative growth of dense Au nanospikes on magnetic microparticles for SERS applications

“…[1][2][3] Plasmonic nanoparticles (Au and Ag) with different sizes, shapes and compositions have been extensively studied as SERS substrates and applied widely in environmental monitoring, food inspection and biological diagnosis. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10] Their welldispersed features in solution make the capture of analytes efficient; however tedious centrifugation processes often have to be performed to separate them out for SERS analysis. Recently, magnetic/plasmonic core/shell microparticles became a kind of attractive colloidal SERS substrate for integrated separation and sensing properties.…”

Development of core‐satellite‐shell structured MNP@Au@MIL‐100(Fe) substrates for surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy and their applications in trace level determination of malachite green in prawn

“…Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) attracts great attention among them owing to its excellent finger-print spectrum property and single-molecule detection capacity. [14,19,20] As a consequence, the SERS technique displays great application potential in the food industry, especially in the detection and identification of harmful substances in food. [21][22][23][24] In recent years, the SERS technique combined with different SERS substrates has been exploited in the monitoring of MG residues and achieved some infusive results.…”
