Summary: A chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay (CLEIA) based on a single-chain variable fragment (scFv)-alkaline phosphatase (AP) fusion protein was developed to determine malachite green (MG) and its major metabolite, leucomalachite green (LMG) residual levels in tilapia fish. The validation results of this novel competitive CLEIA were consistent with those obtained by classical HPLC method for determination of total MG in spiked and field incurred samples.

Summary: Green synthesis of iron nanoparticles using plant extract is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to chemically synthesized iron nanoparticles. This study synthesized iron nanoparticles from ethanolic seed coat extracts of Strychnos nux vomica and Abrus precatorius and investigated their efficiency in removing malachite green dye. The results showed that the iron nanoparticles synthesized from Abrus precatorius were more effective in removing malachite green dye.

Summary: The performance of a nanocomposite adsorbent, comprised of nickel ferrite, zinc oxide, and alpha alumina nanoparticles on a graphene oxide substrate, was investigated for the removal of malachite green. The composites were characterized using various spectroscopy and imaging techniques, confirming the presence of particles and preservation of particle structure in COM4. The adsorption efficiency was examined under various conditions, showing maximum adsorption using the Langmuir model at pH 7 and ambient temperature. The adsorption mechanism was proposed to involve surface functional groups, electrostatic interactions, H-bonding, 7C-7C interactions, and permeation of dye molecules into the pores of the adsorbent. The adsorbent exhibited good performance for multiple cycles after washing with ethanol.

Summary: Due to insufficient capacity of Croatian hatcheries, marine aquaculture heavily relies on imported fry from different countries, which carries the risk of spreading pathogenic agents. An outbreak of Viral Nervous Necrosis (VNN) occurred in Croatia in 2014, where the virus spread from sea bass fry imported from the same hatchery to multiple marine farms. The virus was found to spread horizontally within the affected farm and to feral fish around the farm cages.

Summary: This study investigates the factors influencing at-home fish consumption, including sociodemographic characteristics, perceived risks, health and nutritional motives, and taste preference. The findings reveal that health and nutritional motives, taste preference, and the maritime nature of the living region are common positive determinants of fish consumption in Croatia and Italy. On the other hand, financial risk is a common negative determinant. Other country-specific determinants are also observed.

Summary: Food safety and quality are increasingly important in our society, driving the development of novel optical food sensing technologies. However, current optical sensing technologies are often limited in their sensitivity and product variability. In this study, we developed a novel pistachio nut screening methodology using fluorescence spectroscopy and advanced chemometrics to simultaneously detect shells, tree parts, and aflatoxins. By optimizing hardware and software parameters, we achieved a high classification accuracy for healthy pistachio kernels.

Summary: This study used bibliometric visualisation map analysis to explore the publication outputs, trends, and hotspots for endocrine disruptors (EDMs) biosensor development in relation to mycotoxins. The analysis showed that the current literature primarily focuses on developing biosensors for detecting highly toxic and widely distributed mycotoxins in food, but there needs to be more focus on biosensors for detecting mycotoxins known as endocrine disruptors.

This study developed a quantitative analysis method for PAH4 using the back propagation neural network (BPNN) algorithm and constant wavelength synchronous fluorescence (CWSF) spectra as the data sets. The method can predict the concentrations of PAH4 in edible oil samples without preprocessing or pre-separation. It has been proven to be a powerful tool for the rapid detection of PAH4.

Summary: Food spoilage is primarily caused by microbial contamination. Curcumin has shown moderate antimicrobial activity as a food preservative. This study formulates curcumin with zinc acetate to enhance its efficacy, resulting in Cur-Zn with increased antimicrobial activity against multiple food-contaminating bacteria and fungi. With light illumination, the antimicrobial activity of Cur-Zn is further enhanced due to the photodynamic inactivation (PDI) effect.
