Food safety is an important consideration for the food industry and for daily life, and food additives are essential in the modern food industry. Graphene-based metamaterial sensors are of great value and have potential applications in the detection of food additives, due to their ultra-sensitivity. This paper proposes a metasurface sensor consisting of graphene and dual elliptical ring resonators (Gr-DERRs) sensor for the detection of two common food additives. The limit of detection (LOD) for Sudan I solution is 581.43 fg/ml and, for taurine, 52.86 fg/ml. This ultra-sensitive detection is achieved by exploiting the unique electromagnetic properties of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) resonance, together with the Fermi energy level of graphene moving to the Dirac point, resulting in a dramatic change in the dielectric environment. The Gr-DERRs sensor has brings significant improvement in the detection of food additives with detection limits reduced to the femtogram level.

Tire wear particles (TWP) are one of the main sources of microplastic (MP) pollution in the marine environment, causing adverse effects on marine life and attracting increasing attention. This study aimed to investigate the chemical composition of TWP (particles and leachate) and their toxic effects on Brachionus plicatilis. The results showed that Zn and acenaphthene were the most frequently detected compounds in the three TWP treatments.

This study systematically assessed the performance of a newly developed solid-phase extraction (SPE) material, cellulose-supported aminated β-cyclodextrin polymer (amine-β-CDP@Cellulose), in determining 44 xenobiotics, encompassing endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), pharmaceuticals, and food additives in urine samples. The primary objective of the research was to synthesize a new sorbent, optimize the extraction protocol, and elucidate the underlying adsorption and desorption mechanisms. Following optimization, it was observed that amine-β-CDP@Cellulose achieved recoveries ranging from 80 % to 120 % for 28 of the 44 targeted xenobiotics, with only three compounds showing recoveries below 50 %.

Inorganic phosphori are widely used in food, whose quantitative detection method is of significance. This work presents a Sm-DDB (HDDB = 1,3-di(3',5'-dicarboxylphenyl)benzene), which acts as a ratiometric fluorescence sensor to monitor PO, HPO, and (PO) with high sensitivity. The determination factors of pH, MOF dosage, and fluorescence response time are optimized as 7.
