The monitoring of foodborne bacterial contamination requires simple and convenient biosensors. This work describes a novel paper-based colorimetric biosensor for the rapid and sensitive bacteria detection. The biosensor was constructed via the encapsulation of D-alanyl-D-alanine capped gold nanoparticles (DADA-AuNPs) in a modified paper that was fabricated by the freeze-drying of TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibers/cationic guar gum composite hydrogel-modified filter paper. The results indicated that the size of DADA-AuNPs largely determined the color of their aqueous system and they exhibited light red to dark red as their size increased from around 6 to 36 nm. All these different sized DADA-AuNPs turned into colorless when encountered with either S. aureus or E. coli. In particular, the smaller the DADA-AuNPs size, the faster the discoloration. The encapsulation of DADA-AuNPs into modified paper negligibly changed their responsiveness towards bacteria. In comparison to the original filter paper and oven-dried hydrogel-modified filter paper, the freeze-dried hydrogel-modified paper was demonstrated to be a better substrate for the encapsulation of DADA-AuNPs since they could be loaded with a larger amount of DADA-AuNPs in a faster way and showed a better perceivable color. This work demonstrated a promising paper-based colorimetric biosensor for the facile and rapid detection of bacteria.

Quantitative analysis of As(V) in rice is of great significance for food safety and heavy metal pollution control. Here, a facile colorimetric method for As(V) detection was constructed by using immobilized acid phosphatase (ACP) in hollow metal-organic frameworks hybrid. Metalloporphyrin and gold nanoparticles modified hollow zeolite imidazole framework-8 [Au/HZIF-8@TCPP(Fe)], named AuHT, was chosen here as ACP immobilizing carrier with peroxidase-like activity.

Typical biosensing platforms are based on the "lock-and-key" approach, providing high specificity and sensitivity for environmental and food safety monitoring. However, they are limited in their ability to detect multiple analytes simultaneously. With the use of pattern identification methods, biosensor arrays can detect faint fluctuations caused by multiple analytes with similar properties in complex systems.

Here, a green poly(ionic liquid)-regulated one-pot method is developed for the synthesis of Au@Pt core-shell nanospheres (PNSs) under mild reaction conditions in water. It is found that the poly(ionic liquid) poly[1-methyl-3-butyl (3-hydroxy) imidazole] chloride (PIL-Cl) is very vital to guide the construction of Au@Pt PNSs. The as-obtained Au@Pt-1 PNSs have perfect spherical outlines, porous core-shell structures and large specific surface area by which they exhibit excellent peroxidase-like activity in acidic media and can be used to develop a simple and reliable colorimetric sensing platform.

To advance the biological understanding of heat shock protein (HSP) in different types of cancers, it is crucial to achieve its accurate determination. Herein, a dual-mode self-powered photoelectrochemical (PEC) and colorimetric platform was proposed by integrating enzymatic catalysis and a chemical redox cycling amplification strategy. In this system, ascorbic acid (AA), as the signal reporter for PEC and colorimetric assay, can be regenerated during the tris(2-carboxyethyl) phosphine-mediated chemical redox cycling process.
