Article Abstract

Allura red (AR) is a member of azo dyes is commonly used as an additive in foods and soft drinks. However, due to the special harm of the azo structure to the human body, the dosage control of AR becomes particularly necessary. The present detection methods are time-consuming, expensive and complicated. In order to address the above issues, a core-shell nanocubes constructed sensor has been developed to determine the ultrawide detection range and selective recognition of AR with a long-term reusability. The core-shell architecture is composed of carbon material of 12.64 nm thickness covering 600 nm MnO nanocube. This nanocomposite combines the advantages of MnO@C, possessing high electrocatalysis and chemical stability. As confirmed in using sports drinks as real samples, the as-prepared AR sensor exhibites excellent selectivity with an ultra-wide linear range from 0.1 to 1748.4 μM, and meanwhile, this sensor can also meet the requirements of remarkable anti-interference and reusability over 30 days.

Food Additives Inhibit Intestinal Drug Transporters but Have Limited Effect on In Vitro Drug Permeability.

Food additives are chemical substances that are added to processed food to improve its flavor, texture, or appearance. Food additives can inhibit intestinal transporters, such as breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), multidrug resistance associated protein 2 (MRP2), organic anion transporting polypeptide 2B1 (OATP2B1), and P-glycoprotein (P-gp). This inhibition could potentially affect the absorption of their substrate drugs and cause unwanted food-drug interactions.

This work investigated the effect of structural characteristics of five food dyes on adsorption onto chitosan-based biopolymeric sponges, using statistical physics models, experimental results, and FT-IR analyses to propose a detailed adsorption mechanism. Statistical physics models showed high predictive capacity. The multilayer model was the most effective for predicting the adsorption isotherms of the Indigo carmine, Allura red, and Amaranth.

A sulfonamide derivative synthesized from 1,8-naphthalimide-based amine and 4-methoxy-benzenesulfonyl chloride has been enwrapped into the micelles of a neutral surfactant TX-100 to form highly emissive nanomicelles MXL@TX- 100. The proposed sensor offered highly sensitive turn-off detection of Allura red (linear range = 0.66-224 µM) with the limit of detection (LOD) of 0.
