Background Technology
[0002] Nitrite (NO2) - Nitrites are nitrogen dioxide salts found in food and are widely used in the food industry as preservatives and colorants. However, excessive addition of nitrites can lead to health problems, and long-term excessive intake may cause cancer. Therefore, sensitive detection of NO2 in food is crucial. - The content of NO2 is very important for human health. my country also targets the levels of NO2 in different types of food. - Standard testing methods and strict limits have been established for the content.
[0003] Nanozymes, as a novel type of nanomaterial with enzyme-like catalytic activity, have attracted widespread attention. Compared with natural enzymes, they have stronger stability, excellent catalytic performance, and lower cost.
[0004] Currently, a method using Mn3O4 nanoparticles to catalyze the oxidation of colorless 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to blue TMBox has been developed, utilizing a dual-mode diazotization reaction for NO2 detection. - The experiment showed that this method achieves a relatively small detection range (0-300) μM and is highly dependent on the equipment.
[0005] There is currently a method for detecting nitrite in food based on Fe single-atom nanozymes (patent number 2022115943309). This invention relates to the preparation of a dodecahedral Fe single-atom nanozyme and its application in nitrite detection. The detection reagent consists of a catalytic substrate (chromogenic) reagent, a catalyst, and a buffer solution. The method involves: adding the catalyst onto test paper to form a test strip; then preparing a solution of the catalytic substrate (chromogenic agent) and the collected sample to be tested; and then dropping these solutions onto dried test paper and incubating for a certain period of time until the test strip changes color. Finally, an app (ColorDetector) on a smartphone is used to read the RGB value of the test strip color. This patent uses a single-mode detection method, and the Fe single-atom nanozyme is a metal nanozyme, resulting in higher production costs.

[0068] 1) Preparation of PNC nonmetallic nanozymes
[0069] Washed and dried green tea (GT) was soaked in a 7% potassium hydroxide solution for 6 hours, then carbonized at 400°C for 2 hours. 0.9 g of activated carbon and 55 mg of NaH₂PO₂·H₂O were added, followed by 10 ml of deionized water.

The synthesized product was dried in a vacuum oven at 60°C for 13 hours; the final material was defined as PNC nonmetallic nanozyme (PNC).
[0070] 2) Optimization of experimental conditions
[0071] Furthermore, to ensure that the PNC non-metallic nanozyme achieves the best catalytic effect, screening experiments were conducted, as follows:
[0072] Before the experiment, the PNC nonmetal nanozyme was sonicated for 30 min to ensure its uniform dispersion in the solution. The experimental conditions included the pH value of the NaAc-HAc buffer (1.0-8.0), PNC (0.04-0.28 mg / ml), TMB concentration (0.0-4.0 mM), and reaction temperature (25-55℃).
[0073] Through single-factor experiments, while keeping other experimental conditions constant, one experimental condition is changed to optimize the experiment: such as... Figure 2 As shown, keeping other experimental conditions unchanged (PNC concentration 0.2 mg / ml, TMB concentration 2 mM, temperature 30℃), the pH was changed (1-8). It was found that the maximum absorbance value was reached at pH 4, indicating that the PNC nanozyme activity was the greatest at pH 4.
[0074] like Figure 3 As shown, the pH of the reaction solution was controlled at 4, the TMB concentration at 2 mM, and the reaction temperature at 30℃. The concentration of PNC non-metallic nanozyme was varied (0.04-0.28 mg / ml). It was found that the absorbance value reached its maximum at 0.24 mg / ml, so this concentration is the optimal reaction concentration.
[0075] like Figure 4 As shown, the pH of the reaction solution was controlled at 4, the concentration of PNC non-metallic nanozyme was 0.24 mg / ml, the concentration of TMB was 2 mM, and the reaction temperature was changed (25-55℃). It was found that the absorbance value reached the maximum at 35℃, so the enzyme activity was optimal under this condition.
[0076] like Figure 5 As shown, the pH of the reaction solution was controlled at 4, the concentration of PNC non-metallic nanozyme was 0.24 mg / ml, the reaction temperature was 35℃, and the TMB concentration was changed (1-4 mM). It was found that the absorbance value basically did not increase when the TMB concentration was 3 mM, so this concentration was the optimal concentration.
[0077] In summary, the optimal conditions for PNC nonmetallic nanozymes to achieve the best catalytic effect are: pH 4, concentration 0.24 mg / ml, reaction temperature 35℃, and TMB concentration 3 mM.
[0078] 3) Construction of multi-mode sensors
[0079] Under the optimal conditions described above, 25 μL of TMB solution (3 mM) was added to a mixture of 25 μL of PNC suspension (0.24 mg / mL) and 75 μL of NaAc-HAc buffer (pH 4.0, 0.2 M), and incubated at 35 °C for 15 min. Then, 25 μL of NO2 at different concentrations was added. - The solution was reacted at room temperature. UV-Vis was used to scan the absorbance range of 550-750 nm with 5 nm intervals, recording the wavelength data and separately recording the absorbance values at 445 nm and 650 nm. Under the same conditions, in an electrochemical workstation, DPV mode was used to record changes in the electrical signal within the range of 0.1-1.0 V, and separately recording the electrical signal values at 0.43 V and 0.72 V. Simultaneously, the experimental phenomena were photographed with a mobile phone under stable light conditions, and the RGB data were analyzed using image processing tools.

In colorimetric mode, NO2... - The concentration showed a linear correlation with the ratio of absorbance values at 650 and 445 nm, with the linear relationship being y = 1.9219x + 5.6892 (LOD = 0.24 μM), where y is the ratio of absorbance at 650 and 445 nm, and x is the concentration of NO2. - Logarithm of concentration; NO2 in electrochemical mode -Concentration and NO2 - The ratio of the generated electrical signal to the electrical signal reduced by TMB itself shows a linear correlation, with the linear relationship being y = 0.0051 + 0.0041x (LOD = 0.21 μM), where y is NO2. - The ratio of the increasing electrical signal to the decreasing electrical signal in TMB, where x is NO2. - concentration.
[0082] When the concentration of NO2 is unknown - When performing the test, under optimal conditions, add 25 μL of TMB solution (3 mM) to a mixture of 25 μL of PNC suspension (0.24 mg / mL) and 75 μL of NaAc-HAc buffer (pH 4.0, 0.2 M), incubate at 35°C for 15 min, and then add an unknown concentration of NO2. - The absorbance value of the solution (A650 / A445) was measured, and then substituted into the linear equation of the colorimetric mode to obtain NO2. - Concentration.

Then, it was mixed with 5mL of Zn(Ac)₂ solution (220mg / mL) and stirred. After standing for 30min, the mixture was filtered to obtain the supernatant.
[0085] The aforementioned mixture refers to a mixture of 25 μL TMB solution (3 mM) added to 25 μL PNC suspension (0.24 mg / mL) and 75 μL NaAc-HAc buffer (pH 4.0, 0.2 M) under optimal conditions, incubated at 35°C for 15 min, followed by the addition of an unknown concentration of NO2. - The absorbance value of the solution (A650 / A445) was measured, and then substituted into the linear equation of the colorimetric mode to obtain NO2. - Concentration.
