“…In a separate study, Lau et al proposed using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) on disposable screenprinted carbon electrodes to detect plant pathogen Pseudomonas syringae in mouse-ear cress (Arabidopsis thaliana L.) [93]. Magnetic nanoparticles have been investigated for use in food safety applications, where contaminants such as food allergens, mycotoxins, and pesticide residue have been analyzed using magnetic nanoparticles integrated immunoassays [94]. Various enzyme-based biosensors have been used in pesticide detection in conjunction with various nanomaterials.…”

Global food demand has increased in tandem with the world’s growing population, prompting calls for a new sustainable agricultural method. The scarcity of fertile soil and the world’s agricultural land have also become major concerns. Soilless and microgreen farming combined with nanotechnology may provide a revolutionary solution as well as a more sustainable and productive alternative to conventional farming. In this review, we look at the potential of nanotechnology in soilless and microgreen farming. The available but limited nanotechnology approaches in soilless farming include: (1) Nutrients nanoparticles to minimize nutrient losses and improve nutrient uptake and bioavailability in crops; (2) nano-sensing to provide real-time detection of p H, temperature, as well as quantifying the amount of the nutrient, allowing desired conditions control; and (3) incorporation of nanoparticles to improve the quality of substrate culture as crop cultivation growing medium. Meanwhile, potential nanotechnology applications in soilless and microgreen farming include: (1) Plant trait improvement against environmental disease and stress through nanomaterial application; (2) plant nanobionics to alter or improve the function of the plant tissue or organelle; and (3) extending the shelf life of microgreens by impregnating nanoparticles on the packaging or other preservation method.

“…The optical biosensors on the platform of biomolecular-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles are broadly categorized into four types-surface plasmon resonance (SPR), surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), fluorescence spectroscopy (FS), and near-infrared spectroscopy and imaging (NIRS)-that are commonly used in various bioanalytical applications. The use of biosensors based on magnetic nanoparticles specifically for food safety monitoring is highlighted in the review by Khan et al [15]. Due to the expanding occurrence of marine toxins, and their potential impact on human health, there is an increased need for tools for their rapid and efficient detection.…”

“…The presence of functional groups in polymers makes them ideal for their combination with m-NPs [46]. This fact, together with the stability of polymers in a wide range of pH, has become that combination very popular for the extraction of food samples [7]. It should be noted that, in contrast, the polymers are relatively unstable at high temperatures (a problem which is exacerbated by the possible catalytic behaviour of the metallic core) [47].…”

“…In this regard, the development of very sensitive, rapid and selective methodologies results essential and the use of nanomaterials is a cornerstone to achieve these goals [4]. In recent years, nanotechnology has played an important role in many areas, including food analysis as it has been shown in many reports in the literature [1,[4][5][6][7]. Particular attention has been paid to the use of nanoparticles (NPs) and, especially, in magnetic-NPs (m-NPs) [1,8].…”

Nanotechnology has become a topic of interest due to the outstanding advantages that the use of nanomaterials offers in many fields. Among them, magnetic nanoparticles (m-NPs) have been one of the most widely applied in recent years. In addition to the unique features of nanomaterials in general, which exclusively appear at nanoscale, these present magnetic or paramagnetic properties that result of great interest in many applications. In particular, in the area of food analysis the use of these nanomaterials has undergone a considerable increase since they can be easily separated from the matrix in sorbent-based extractions, providing a considerable simplification of the procedures. This allows reducing cost and giving fast responses, which is essential in the food trade to guarantee consumer safety. These materials can also be easily tunable, providing higher selectivity. Moreover, their particular electrical, thermal and optical characteristics allow enhancing sensor signals, increasing the sensitivity of the approaches based on this type of device. The aim of this review article is to summarise the most remarkable applications of m-NPs in food analysis in the last five years (2016–2020) showing a general view of the use of such materials in the field.
