RESUMO
Peanut allergen monitoring is currently an effective strategy to avoid allergic diseases, while food matrix interference is a critical challenge during detection. Here, we developed an antifouling surface plasmon resonance sensor (SPR) with stratified zwitterionic peptides, which provides both excellent antifouling and sensing properties. The antifouling performance was measured by the SPR, which showed that stratified peptide coatings showed much better protein resistance, reaching ultralow adsorption levels (<5 ng/cm2). Atomic force microscopy was used to further analyze the antifouling mechanism from a mechanical perspective, which demonstrated lower adsorption forces on hybrid peptide coatings, confirming the better antifouling performance of stratified surfaces. Moreover, the recognition of peanut allergens in biscuits was performed using an SPR with high efficiency and appropriate recovery results (98.2-112%), which verified the feasibility of this assay. Therefore, the fabrication of antifouling sensors with stratified zwitterionic peptides provides an efficient strategy for food safety inspection.

In order to improve the effectiveness of the active packaging, we aimed to develop an active packaging film with unidirectional sustained release, high barrier protection, and seamless attachment between the layers. An active film based on glutenin/tamarind gum loaded with the binary microemulsion of melatonin/pummelo essential oil (G/T-M-E) with sustained release and combination effects of internal and external layers was prepared. The outer barrier layer exerted an excellent protective barrier effect after adding (3-chloropropyl) triethoxysilane, which effectively reduced external interference and the ineffective diffusion of active substances in the inner layer. The effective attachment of melatonin and essential oil layer in the G/T-M-E film enhanced antioxidation, microorganism inhibition, and free-radical-scavenging properties, which effectively delayed the senescence of post-harvest white mushrooms. Furthermore, the G/T-M-E exhibited excellent tensile strength, barrier capacity, and load-bearing strength, which had a potential, positive effect on food preservation. Therefore, this film is highly recommended for packaging purposes.
