Study on novel fluorescent carbon nanomaterials in food analysis

Abstract

One of the most significant nanobiotechnology and nanomaterial science areas today is the production of novel sensors and biosensors with applications in the food industry. Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) are a new generation of carbon nanoparticles with a lot of potential for food analysis. CQDs with robust physicochemical properties are one of the most recently researched carbon nanomaterials. This material has outstanding optical properties such as light persistence, photobleaching tolerance, photoluminescence, and the advantages of fast functionalization and strong biocompatibility, rendering it an excellent raw material for sensing devices. Thanks to its considerable features such as fast result outputs, low expense, ease of service, and high sensitivity, fluorescence analysis has tremendous potential for food protection. The aim of this article is to familiarise yourself with carbon points, their synthesis methods, and their optical properties. Finally, fluorescence sensors can be used to detect food additives, heavy metals, bacteria, insecticide residues, antibiotics, and nutritional components in food samples. CQDs' problems and opportunities in the area of food safety were also addressed.

RETRACTED ARTICLE: Serum level estimation of some biomarkers in diabetic and non-diabetic COVID-19 infected patients

“…A D-dimer test is the ultimate solution in such cases. Therefore, the present research is in agreement with the study of Mishra et al, patients with diabetes exhibited higher D-dimer levels that were statistically significant (Ngafwan et al 2021;Mishraa et al 2020), with peak D-dimer levels of 1509 2420 ng/mL (mean SD) versus 515 624 ng/ mL (mean SD) in adults without diabetes. When clinical characteristics and risk factors are unclear, clinicians face a substantial challenge in improving outcomes in patients with COVID-19 and underlying diabetes mellitus (Jalil et al 2021c;Zhang et al 2021).…”

RETRACTED: Advanced Binder-Free Electrode Based on CuCo2O4 Nanowires Coated with Polypyrrole Layer as a High-Performance Nonenzymatic Glucose Sensing Platform

“…Due to insulin deficiency, people with diabetes have high blood glucose degree that leads to the failure of various organs and long-term damage [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28]. Among various strategies used for determination of glucose degree or concentration [29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42], electrochemical based approaches have got great attention because of their low production cost, rapid response, high sensitivity, and simple instrumentation [43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55]. Regularly, the enzymatic glucose sensors based on glucose oxidase can provide high sensitivity and selectivity.…”

“…A study in Iraq reported nearly similar results, where the resistant rates for penicillin antibiotics including ticarcillin, piperacillin and minocycline and trimethoprim+ sulfamthoxazole were 76.7%, 81.0%, 91.0% and 93.5%, respectively (26). Also, Abdul-Wahid, (24,(40)(41)(42)(43)(44)(45)(46)(47)(48)(49)(50)(51) in Iraq reported similar results where the resistant rates for ceftazidime, cefepime, ciprofloxacin, pefloxacin, gentamicin and aztreonam (64.0%, 63.5%, 59.0%, 58.5%, 63.0% and 57.0%), respectively. While, the other study in Iraq by Alkazrage (27) reported the resistant rates for imipenem, meropenem and colistin (35.0%, 31.0% and 21.8%), respectively.…”
