Recent advances in carbon nanomaterials-based electrochemical sensors for food azo dyes detection

Hassan Karimi-Maleh, Hadi Beitollahi, P. Senthil Kumar, Somayeh Tajik, Peyman Mohammadzadeh Jahani, Fatemeh Karimi, Ceren Karaman, Yasser Vasseghian, Mehdi Baghayeri, Jalal Rouhi, Pau Loke Show, Saravanan Rajendran, Li Fu, Najmeh Zare

Summary: Azo dyes are widely used food colorants for their stability and affordability. However, they can have harmful impacts on living organs, necessitating the control of their content in food. Electro-analytical techniques have been favored for detecting azo dyes due to their sensitivity, selectivity, reproducibility, miniaturization, green nature, low cost, short sample preparation and detection time, and electrode modification capabilities. Carbon-based nanomaterials, such as carbon nanotubes (CNT) and graphene (Gr), have shown satisfactory results in the fabrication of electrochemical sensing systems for detecting the levels of azo dyes in various specimens.

Yingjie Wang, Fangju Liu, Mengru Liu, Xin Zhou, Min Wang, Kexin Cao, Sanjun Jin, Anshan Shan, Xingjun Feng

Summary: This study investigated the protective effects of curcumin against AFB1-induced liver injury in mice. Curcumin was found to attenuate AFB1-induced weight loss and liver damage by mitigating alterations in pathology and liver function. It reduced the accumulation of AFB1-DNA adducts in the liver and alleviated hepatotoxicity by inhibiting oxidative stress and potentiating detoxification enzymes. Additionally, curcumin reduced AFB1-induced pyroptosis and modulated the NLRP3 inflammasome and Nrf2 signaling pathways.
