农产品中脱氧雪腐镰刀菌烯醇的表面增强拉曼检测

利用便携式拉曼光谱仪建立了一个快速筛查与检测谷物中真菌毒素脱氧雪腐镰刀菌烯醇(DON)的表面增强拉曼散射(SERS)方法。首先利用实验室前期开发的方法制备了具有高活性的水凝胶SERS芯片。该SERS芯片是将预先制备的高SERS活性的单层碳基点(CDs)包裹的银纳米颗粒团聚体(a-AgNPs/CDs)与聚乙烯醇(PVA)水溶液混合均匀后,再利用循环冷冻-解冻的物理交联法制备而成的。实验优化了影响水凝胶SERS芯片对DON的SERS响应的实验条件,包括溶剂、浸泡温度和浸泡时间。在最佳的SERS检测条件下(溶剂为水-乙醇(1:1, v/v),浸泡温度为40 ℃,浸泡时间为5 min), DON的线性响应范围为1~10000 μg/kg(相关系数(R²)=0.9967),检出限(LOD)为0.14 μg/kg,表明该SERS基底具有较高的灵敏度。得益于水凝胶特殊的孔径结构,实际样品基质中常见的糖、蛋白质、油脂、色素等干扰物质都被阻隔在水凝胶外。因此,在复杂样品检测中仅需要简单的提取,而不需要复杂的分离处理。将该方法用于小麦粉中DON的检测,所得回收率为97.3%~103%,相对标准偏差为4.2%~5.0%。实验结果表明所建立的检测DON的SERS方法具有响应范围宽、灵敏度高、重复性好、响应迅速、操作简单、抗干扰能力强等优点,这说明本实验室所构建的水凝胶SERS芯片在粮食中生物毒素的快速筛查与检测方面具有良好的应用潜力。     

Simultaneous and rapid determination of deoxynivalenol and its acetylate derivatives in wheat flour and rice by ultra high performance liquid chromatography with photo diode array detection

A simple and reliable method of ultra high performance liquid chromatography coupled with photo‐diode array detection has been proposed for the simultaneous determination of deoxynivalenol and its acetylated derivatives in wheat flour and rice, especially focusing on the optimization of sample extraction, cleanup, and chromatographic separation conditions. Sample pretreatment consisted of a first step using a quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe based extraction procedure and a subsequent cleanup step based on solid‐phase extraction. The method was extensively validated in wheat flour and rice, obtaining satisfactory analytical performance with good linearity (R² ≥ 0.999), acceptable recoveries (80.0–104.4%), and repeatability (RSDs 1.3–10.7%). The limits of detection (21.7–57.4 μg/kg) and quantitation (72.3–191.4 μg/kg) for deoxynivalenols were lower than those usually permitted by various countries’ legislation in these food matrices. The method was applied to 34 wheat and rice samples. The results were further compared with results of ultra high performance liquid chromatography with electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry.     

Incidence of Fusarium Mycotoxins in Wheat and Maize from Albania

In this study, ten Fusarium toxins were analysed in wheat and maize commodities from Albania. In total, 71 samples of wheat and 45 samples of maize were collected from different producing regions. The analytical procedure consisted of a simple one-step sample extraction followed by the determination of toxins using liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry. Fusarium toxins were found in 23% of the analysed wheat samples and in 78% of maize samples. In maize samples, most often fumonisins B₁ (FB1) and B₂ (FB2) were found. They were present in 76% of samples. They were detected in all positive samples except in one with concentrations ranging from 59.9 to 16,970 μg/kg. The sum of FB1 and FB2 exceeded the EU maximum permitted level (4000 μg/kg) in 31% of maize samples. In wheat samples, the only detected Fusarium mycotoxin was deoxynivalenol (DON), present in 23% of samples. In one sample with the concentration of 1916 μg/kg, the EU maximum permitted level (1250 μg/kg) was exceeded. This is the first report on the presence of Fusarium toxins in wheat and maize grains cultivated in Albania.     

脱氧雪腐镰刀菌烯醇与人免疫球蛋白的相互作用研究

利用分子模拟技术结合荧光猝灭法、紫外光谱(UV)、傅立叶红外光谱(FTIR)和圆二色性光谱(CD)在模拟生理条件下研究了脱氧雪腐镰刀菌烯醇(DON)和人免疫球蛋白(H IgG)的结合常数、主要作用力以及DON对HIgG二级结构的影响。在304、310、318 K温度下,测得DON和H IgG的结合常数分别为2.069×104、0.754 9×104、0.523 8×104L.mol-1;其焓变(ΔH)和熵变(ΔS)分别为-78.52 kJ.mol-1、-176.9 J.(mol.K)-1,研究表明其主要作用力为氢键和范德华力。根据F rster能量非辐射转移理论测得结合位置与色氨酸残基间的距离r为4.62 nm。同步荧光、CD和FTIR研究表明,DON使HIgG的二级结构发生了变化。分子模拟显示DON与HIgG的相互作用力主要是氢键和疏水作用,与实验测得的热力学参数提供的作用力信息一致。该研究为DON在人体内的储存、运输、作用机理及毒理学研究提供了理论依据。

A Multifunctional N-Doped Cu–MOFs (N–Cu–MOF) Nanomaterial-Driven Electrochemical Aptasensor for Sensitive Detection of Deoxynivalenol

Deoxynivalenol (DON) is one of the most common mycotoxins in grains, causing gastrointestinal inflammation, neurotoxicity, hepatotoxicity and embryotoxicity, even at a low quantity. In this study, a facile electrochemical aptasensor was established for the rapid and sensitive determination of DON based on a multifunctional N-doped Cu-metallic organic framework (N–Cu–MOF) nanomaterial. The N–Cu–MOF, with a large specific surface area and good electrical conductivity, served not only as an optimal electrical signal probe but also as an effective supporting substrate for stabilizing aptamers through the interactions of amino (-NH₂) and copper. Under the optimal conditions, the proposed sensor provided a wide linear concentration range of 0.02–20 ng mL⁻¹ (R² = 0.994), showing high sensitivity, with a lower detection limit of 0.008 ng mL⁻¹, and good selectivity. The sensor’s effectiveness was also verified in real spiked wheat samples with satisfactory recoveries of 95.6–105.9%. The current work provides a flexible approach for the rapid and sensitive analysis of highly toxic DON in food samples and may also be easily extended to detect other hazardous substances with alternative target-recognition aptamers.     

Simultaneous Detoxification of Aflatoxin B1, Zearalenone and Deoxynivalenol by Modified Montmorillonites

Raw Ca-based montmorillonite (MMT) was treated by H₂SO₄, calcination and organic compounds (hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (HTAB), cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) and chitosan (CTS)), respectively. The modified montmorillonites were characterized by different methods and their adsorption performances for three mycotoxins (Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), zearalenone (ZEA) and deoxynivalenol (DON)) were evaluated at pH = 2.8 and 8.0, respectively. The results indicate that surfactants (CPC and HTAB) intercalation is the most efficient modification, which obviously improves the adsorption performance of montmorillonite for mycotoxins, with adsorption efficiency of above 90% for AFB1 and ZEA whether under acid or alkaline conditions, due to the increase in basal spacing and the improvement of hydrophobicity. Moreover, the adsorption efficiencies of AFB1 and ZEA over CPC-modified montmorillonite (CPC-AMMT-3) coexisting with vitamin B6 or lysine are still at a high level (all above 94%). All modified montmorillonites, however, have low adsorption efficiency for DON, with somewhat spherical molecular geometry.     

高性能CdTe/CdS核壳型量子点的制备及应用于小麦面粉中呕吐毒素的荧光免疫检测研究

量子点荧光免疫法的广泛应用迫切需要提高量子点的发光强度和抗体的稳定性. 分别采用巯基乙酸和谷胱甘肽作稳定剂, 水相合成CdTe量子点, 再包覆CdS制备核壳型CdTe/CdS量子点. 以EDC/NHS作交联剂将CdTe/CdS量子点标记到呕吐毒素抗体上, 然后用牛血清蛋白封闭抗体. 研究发现, 谷胱甘肽稳定剂优于巯基乙酸. 与CdTe量子点相比, 谷胱甘肽修饰的CdTe/CdS量子点其荧光的强度和稳定性分别提高6倍和2倍以上. 谷胱甘肽碳链较长, 减少了量子点对抗体尤其是活性位点处的空间构型影响, 从而大大提高抗体的稳定性. 监测不同储藏时间(4 ℃)的CdTe/CdS量子点-抗体偶联复合物与呕吐毒素免疫反应前后荧光强度变化值, 结果显示抗体至少可以稳定7 d. 基于谷胱甘肽稳定的高性能CdTe/CdS量子点, 我们建立了一种新的呕吐毒素荧光免疫检测方法. 呕吐毒素浓度在0～0.9 ng•mL^－1之间相对荧光强度呈线性关系, 相关系数(R²)为0.9992, 检出限是0.038 ng•mL^－1. 方法的灵敏度高于文献报道的其它方法, 如GC-ECD, HPLC和HPLC-MS, 已成功应用于小麦面粉样品中痕量呕吐毒素的测定.
