“…Advanced and efficient sample pretreatment methods for electrochemical sensing are still a major requirement nowadays. Recent reviews [72,78] report advanced methods for food sample preparation, but, generally, the analyte determination is further performed via conventional chromatographic methods. Sufficient enrichment of and efficient reduction in the matrix interference must be achieved to improve the accuracy and sensitivity of the electrochemical assays to address the food analysis requirements.…”

Food contaminants represent possible threats to humans and animals as severe food safety hazards. Prolonged exposure to contaminated food often leads to chronic diseases such as cancer, kidney or liver failure, immunosuppression, or genotoxicity. Aflatoxins are naturally produced by strains of the fungi species Aspergillus, which is one of the most critical and poisonous food contaminants worldwide. Given the high percentage of contaminated food products, traditional detection methods often prove inadequate. Thus, it becomes imperative to develop fast, accurate, and easy-to-use analytical methods to enable safe food products and good practices policies. Focusing on the recent progress (2018–2023) of electrochemical aptasensors for aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) detection in food and beverage samples, without pretending to be exhaustive, we present an overview of the most important label-free and labeled sensing strategies. Simultaneous and competitive aptamer-based strategies are also discussed. The aptasensors are summarized in tabular format according to the detection mode. Sample treatments performed prior analysis are discussed. Emphasis was placed on the nanomaterials used in the aptasensors’ design for aptamer-tailored immobilization and/or signal amplification. The advantages and limitations of AFB1 electrochemical aptasensors for field detection are presented.

“…Food safety is one of the main public health concerns worldwide, which is placed at the top of the priorities of the World Health Organization (WHO) and is included as part of the sustainable development goal (SDG) no. 2 of the 2030 Agenda. , For these reasons, special attention should be paid to the presence of trace-level contaminants in food due to the short/long-term risks that their intake may entail for the health of consumers. , Contaminants that may be present in food can be chemical or biological. Among chemical contaminants, natural toxins have aroused increasing interest in recent years because of their potential hazards for human health related to their underestimated occurrence in different foodstuffs .…”

“…Accordingly, several authors have evaluated the occurrence of PAs and TAs in honey samples. − However, all of these works performed conventional sample preparation techniques, such as solid-phase extraction (SPE) or QuEChERS, leading to relatively high volumes of organic solvents, the use of different types of reagents that increase the cost and the waste residues, and the need for multiple steps, which are usually time-consuming. In this context, in the food analysis field, there is currently a demand to improve sample preparation methods, replacing traditional ones for other approaches with better advantages, such as fewer time requirements, higher extraction efficiency, a lower level of chemical consumption, good affordability, and cost-effectiveness, among others . Moreover, considering the worldwide concern to prevent environmental pollution, which has reached serious dimensions globally, there is a current trend toward green chemistry to develop more sustainable processes, which also involves a commitment with other SDGs, such as SDG no.…”

Currently, the analysis of trace-level contaminants in food must be addressed following green analytical chemistry principles and with a commitment to the sustainable development goals. Accordingly, a sustainable and ecofriendly microextraction procedure based on μ-SPEed followed by ultrahigh liquid chromatography coupled to ion-trap tandem mass spectrometry analysis was developed to determine the occurrence of pyrrolizidine and tropane alkaloids in honey samples. The μ-SPEed procedure took approximately 3 min per sample, using only 100 μL of organic solvent and 300 μL of diluted sample. The method was properly validated (overall recoveries 72−100% and precision RSD values ≤15%), and its greenness was scored at 0.61 out of 1. The method was applied to different honey samples, showing overall contamination levels from 32 to 177 μg/kg of these alkaloids. Atropine was found in all the samples, whereas retrorsine N-oxide, lasiocarpine, echimidine, and echimidine N-oxide were the main pyrrolizidine alkaloids in the samples analyzed.

Commiphora gileadensis (C. gileadensis) has been identified and linked with various health benefits and pharmaceutical potential for its phytochemical activities and chemical constituents. This study aimed to evaluate ultrasonic‐assisted extraction (USE) technique for total phenols content from C. gileadensis leaf compared to the hydrodistillation extraction (HDE). Our results showed that the USE operating conditions were identified as: MeOH·H2O solvent‐to‐fresh sample ratio of 80:20 (v/v); ultrasonic power/frequency at 150 W/20 kHz; and a temperature of 40 ± 1°C; subjected to acoustic waves intermittently for a calculated time (5 min) during the total programmed time of 12 min. The USE exhibited (118.71 ± 0.009 mg GAE/g DM) more amounts of all phenols than HDE (101.47 ± 0.005 mg GAE/g DM), and antioxidant (77.78 ± 0.73%, 75.27 ± 0.59% scavenging inhibition of DPPH), respectively. Anti‐aging and Cytotoxicity activities were investigated. The results of biological evaluations showed that the crude extracts of C. gileadensis significantly extended the replicative lifespan of K6001 yeast. In addition, in vitro cytotoxicity against the HepG2 cell line showed significant anticancer activity, and approximately 100 μg/mL is required to decrease viability compared with that of the control. This study is proven for a larger scale to extract and isolate compounds of C. gileadensis for potential utilization in the pharmaceutical industry. In conclusion, advanced methods afford an extract with high activity in the biological properties of the extract.
