“…The results in our study are in agreement with the study by Phromkunthong et al (2014). In addition, this study agrees with the report by Rai et al (2014), where they suggest that melamine induces oxidative stress and inflammatory responses in fish. However, with MEL alone in the feed (diet 6), the liver GPx activity significantly decreased.…”

“…Complete blood count (mean ± SD; n = 2 fish from each of the 4 replicate tanks) Red blood cells ( cyanurate containing diets is caused by the damage to erythrocyte membranes (Rai et al, 2014). Moreover, the hemolysis of erythrocyte that is induced by melamine-cyanurate particles is a complex process, as demonstrated by the sigmoidal pattern time-course of hemoglobin release.…”

Aptamers are short and functional single-stranded oligonucleotide sequences selected from systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX) process, which have the capacity to recognize various classes of target molecules with high affinity and specificity. Various analytical aptamers acquired by SELEX are widely used in many research fields, such as medicine, biology, and chemistry. However, the application of this innovative and emerging technology to food safety is just in infant stage. Food safety plays a very important role in our daily lives because varieties of poisonous and harmful substances in food affect human health. Aptamer technique is promising, which can overcome many disadvantages of existing detection methods in food safety, such as long detection time, low sensitivity, difficult, and expensive antibody preparation. This review provides an overview of various aptamer screening technologies and summarizes the recent applications of aptamers in food safety, and future prospects are also discussed.

“…For consumers, food adulterations have caused growing concern about health risks, as well as the food quality and nutrition value. A notorious and common phenomenon is the adulterations of raw food materials, which can not only influence the quality of raw materials but also cause potential crisis in further processed foods [3, 4]. …”

This paper developed a rapid and nondestructive method for quantitative analysis of a cheaper adulterant (wheat flour) in oat flour by NIR spectroscopy and chemometrics. Reflectance FT-NIR spectra in the range of 4000 to 12000 cm−1 of 300 oat flour objects adulterated with wheat flour were measured. The doping levels of wheat flour ranged from 5% to 50% (w/w). To ensure the generalization performance of the method, both the oat and the wheat flour samples were collected from different producing areas and an incomplete unbalanced randomized block (IURB) design was performed to include the significant variations that may be encountered in future samples. Partial least squares regression (PLSR) was used to develop calibration models for predicting the levels of wheat flour. Different preprocessing methods including smoothing, taking second-order derivative (D2), and standard normal variate (SNV) transformation were investigated to improve the model accuracy of PLS. The root mean squared error of Monte Carlo cross-validation (RMSEMCCV) and root mean squared error of prediction (RMSEP) were 1.921 and 1.975 (%, w/w) by D2-PLS, respectively. The results indicate that NIR and chemometrics can provide a rapid method for quantitative analysis of wheat flour in oat flour.
