Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) have been widely studied in environmental protection and food industry, owing to their excellent specific recognition and structural stability. However, MIPs prepared by conventional methods suffer from low adsorption capacity and slow mass transfer rate. To date, the combination of electrostatic spinning technology and molecular imprinting technology has been proposed to prepare molecularly imprinted membranes (MIMs) with specific recognition capability, and has shown great attraction in the separation and detection of food additives, as well as the extraction and release of active ingredients. In recent years, MIPs and electrostatic spinning technologies have been investigated and evaluated. However, there is no review of electrostatically spun MIMs for food field. In this review, we focus on the fabrication methods and applications of electrostatically spun MIMs in the food, discuss the challenges in practical food applications, and emphasize the promising applications of electrostatically spun MIMs in food field.

Background: Viral epidemics have long endangered human health and had dramatic impacts on environment and society. The currently known viruses and the rapid emergence of previously unknown viruses lead to an urgent need for effective virus detection strategies. It is important to develop methods that can detect multiple related viruses simultaneously in order to improve detection efficiency and to avoid treatment delays due to misdiagnoses.

Background: Glycholic acid (GCA) can dynamically reflect the process of liver injury, and can be used for early diagnosis and curative effect evaluation of early hepatitis and cirrhosis. The highly sensitive detection of liver injury markers is conducive to a more accurate and effective auxiliary diagnosis of liver diseases. In addition, the low trigger potential helps to avoid more chemical interference and improve the detection sensitivity.

Herein, we report the development and characterisation of an electrochemical biosensor with a polypyrrole (Ppy)-based molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) for the serological detection of the recombinant nucleocapsid protein of SARS-CoV-2 (rN). The electrochemical biosensor utilises a Ppy-based MIP formed on a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) at the gold interface to enhance Ppy layer stability on the screen-printed electrode (SPE). Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and square wave voltammetry (SWV) were employed for the electrochemical characterisation of screen-printed gold electrodes (SPGEs) modified with MIP or non-imprinted polymer (NIP) layers.

Although fluorescence analysis methods are widely used in pesticide residue detection, improving their sensitivity and selectivity remains a challenge. This paper presents a novel ratio fluorescence sensor based on the molecular imprinting polymers (MIPs) and metal-enhanced fluorescence for visual detection of dicamba (DIC). Calcium fluoride (CaF) quantum dots (QDs) were immobilized on the surface of Ag@MIPs, resulting in a blue fluorescence response signal (Ag@MIPs-CaF).

Mycotoxins are detectable in 60-80% of food crops, posing significant threats to human health and food security, and causing substantial economic losses. Most mitigation approaches focus on detecting mycotoxins with standard methods based on liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Typical MS methods require extensive sample preparation and clean-up due to the matrix effect, followed by time-consuming LC separation, complicating the analysis process and limiting analytical throughput.
