    Development of a New Electrochemical Sensor Based on Molecularly Imprinted Biopolymer for Determination of 4,4'-methylene Diphenyl Diamine
    (MDPI, 2023) Ghaani, Masoud; Büyüktaş, Duygu; Carullo, Daniele; Farris, Stefano
    A new molecularly imprinted electrochemical sensor was proposed to determine 4,4' methylene diphenyl diamine (MDA) using molecularly imprinted polymer-multiwalled carbon nanotubes modified glassy carbon electrode (MIP/MWCNTs/GCE). GCE was coated by MWCNTs (MWCNTs/GCE) because of their antifouling qualities and in order to improve the sensor sensitivity. To make the whole sensor, a polymeric film made up of chitosan nanoparticles was electrodeposited by the cyclic voltammetry method on the surface of MWCNTs/GCE in the presence of MDA as a template. Different parameters such as scan cycles, elution time, incubation time, molar ratio of template molecules to functional monomers, and pH were optimized to increase the performance of the MIP sensor. With a detection limit of 15 nM, a linear response to MDA was seen in the concentration range of 0.5-100 mu M. The imprinting factor (IF) of the proposed sensor was also calculated at around 3.66, demonstrating the extremely high recognition performance of a MIP/MWCNT-modified electrode. Moreover, the sensor exhibited good reproducibility and selectivity. Finally, the proposed sensor was efficiently used to determine MDA in real samples with satisfactory recoveries ranging from 94.10% to 106.76%.

    Decontamination of Seeds Destined for Edible Sprout Production From Listeria by Using Chitosan Coating With Synergetic Lysozyme-Nisin Mixture
    (Elsevier, 2020) Sözbilen, Gözde Seval; Yemenicioğlu, Ahmet
    This study aimed at decontamination of seeds destined for edible sprout production from Listeria using chitosan (CS) coatings incorporated with synergetic lysozyme-nisin (LYS-NIS) mixtures. Low molecular weight (LMW) CS coating showed the highest potency against Listeria innocua, followed by medium molecular weight (MMW) and high molecular weight (HMW) CSs. The LMW CS film with LYS-NIS also caused almost 1.5-fold greater log reduction (similar to 5 log) in initial L. innocua load of broth culture than MMW and HMW CS films with LYS-NIS within 6 days. Moreover, LMW CS coating with LYS-NIS reduced the initial Listeria loads of inoculated mung beans, lentils, and wheats by 3.3, 3.4 and 4.1 log, respectively. Antimicrobial coating did not affect seed germination rates considerably. The LYS-NIS addition increased yellowness and opacity of films, and caused limited changes in their mechanical and morphological properties. LMW CS coating with LYS-NIS reduces risk of listeriosis from sprouted seeds.
