A Molecularly Imprinted Polymer Electrochemiluminescence Sensor Based on AuNPs@Ru-ZIF-8 for the Rapid Detection of Cyhalothrin Residues in Lycium barbarum L. Kaili Liu, Chengqiang Li, Yuchen Cai, Jiashuai Sun, Nortoji A. Khujamshukurov, Peisen Li, Yemin Guo, Xia Sun Sensors, 2026 Lycium barbarum L. is a widely used medicinal and edible Chinese medicinal material. However, with consumers’ heightened concern for health and food safety, pesticide residues have become one of the major challenges affecting its quality and safety. Cyhalothrin is a pyrethroid insecticide and a typical type of pesticide with excessive pesticide residues in Lycium barbarum L. Rapid detection of pesticide residues is an effective way to ensure the quality and safety of traditional Chinese medicinal materials. In this work, a molecularly imprinted polymer electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor based on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs)@Ru-ZIF-8 was constructed for rapid detection of cyhalothrin residues. The prepared cyhalothrin molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) were used as a recognition element and modified on the surface of a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) by an electrochemical polymerization method. AuNPs were utilized to promote the excitation of Ru(bpy)32+ and TPrA in the ECL system, which improved the observability of the light signal. The GCE modified with the metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) ZIF-8 was employed to increase the specific surface area and enhance the electron transfer capacity on the electrode, thereby improving the sensing sensitivity of the sensor. In addition, the luminescent reagent of Ru(bpy)32+ was introduced into the synthesis process of ZIF-8, which caused Ru(bpy)32+ to be tightly bound around it and enhanced the stability of the sensor. Under optimal conditions, the linear detection range of the sensor is 1 × 10−1~1 × 104 nM, with a limit of detection (LOD) of 10 pM. The accuracy of the ECL-MIP sensor has been verified through spiked recovery experiments and actual sample detection. This study has opened up a new approach to rapid detection of pesticide residues in traditional Chinese medicinal materials used for both food and medicine.

Chemical Composition and Antimicrobial Activity of Essential Oils from Horse Chestnut Flowers Isomiddin Boboev, Shakhnoza Iskhakova, Anvar Normatov, Nortoji Khujamshukurov, Asadjon Otajonov E3s Web of Conferences, 2024 Essential oil of brown color was obtained by hydro-distillation from fresh flowers of horse chestnut. All major components of the corresponding oils were identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The microorganisms most sensitive to the studied essential oil of flowers were revealed: Staphylococcus aureus, Serratia marcescens, and Bacillus subtilis. Extensive documentation on the antimicrobial properties of essential oils and their constituents has been carried out by several workers. Although the mechanism of action of a few essential oil components has been elucidated in many pioneering works in the past, detailed knowledge of most of the compounds and their mechanism of action is still lacking. This knowledge is particularly important for the determination of the effect of essential oils on different microorganisms, how they work in combination with other antimicrobial compounds, and their interaction with food matrix components. Also, recent studies have demonstrated that nanoparticles (NPs) functionalized with essential oils have significant antimicrobial potential against multidrug-resistant pathogens due to an increase in chemical stability and solubility, decreased rapid evaporation and minimized degradation of active essential oil components.
Utilizing novel Aspergillus species for bio-flocculation: A cost-effective approach to harvest Scenedesmus microalgae for biofuel production Gyanendra Tripathi, Vinay Kumar Pandey, Suhail Ahmad, Irum, Nortoji A. Khujamshukurov, Alvina Farooqui, Vishal Mishra Current Research in Microbial Sciences, 2024 The present study aimed to isolate a bioflocculating fungal strain from wastewater collected from a local bike garage. The isolate showed maximum similarity to Aspergillus species. The fungus was identified as Aspergillus flavus species F_GTAF1 IU (accession no. OP703382. The isolated fungus was evaluated in terms of biomass recovery efficiency in Scenedesmus Sp. GTAF01. The extent of algal fungal co-pelletization was evaluated as a function of the algae-to-fungi ratio, volume of fungal culture in broth, agitation rate, and pH. results showed that at fungal culture volume of 60 %v/v, fungal culture volume of 1:3 %w/w, 100 rpm, and pH 3, 93.6 % biomass was obtained during the initial 5 h. At wavenumbers 1384 and 1024 cm-1 a significant alteration in the transmission percentage was observed in co-pellet compared to algae and fungal cells. This shows the significant role of C-H–H and C-N stretches in co-pellet formation. This study provides deep insight into effective microalgal harvesting along with the simultaneous extraction of lipids that can be used for the sustainable production of biodiesel.
Quality assurance framework for smart drug delivery systems in pharmaceutical industries and its applications Sara Khan, Juber Akhtar, Muhammad Farhan, Nortoji A. Khujamshukurov, Badruddeen, Mohammad Irfan Khan, Mohammad Ahmad, Zainab Fatima Smart Systems Methodological Approaches and Applications, 2024 Quality assurance is a key term used in manufacturing industries to ensure the safety, efficacy, stability, reliability, potency, purity, and quality of the products that are delivered to the customers. It ensures that the final product is physically, chemically, and biologically fit for the purpose for which it is developed.

Smart systems refer to novel systems or approaches to design and deliver desired drugs/products with minimum side effects, maximum therapeutic potency, and improved patient compliance/acceptability. Hence, the quality-assured framework in smart systems is intended to assure that established quality standards of the final product are met when novel approaches are employed in the development/production of drug delivery systems.
Impact of biohumus on soil agrochemical characteristics, fertilty, and plant performance under greenhouse conditions Nortoji A. Khujamshukurov, Muhammad Farhan, Sh.A. Eshkobilov, D.X. Kuchkarova, Tufail Ahmad, Zainab Fatima, Sara Khan, Juber Akhtar Smart Systems Methodological Approaches and Applications, 2024 This research work examines how biohumus affects the agrochemical characteristics of the soil, fertility, and cucumber productivity under greenhouse conditions. The addition of bio humus to the soil alters the nutritional content of the soil since it stores a significant quantity of nutrients. Because biohumus includes humic acids and trace elements, it can improve plant development in cucumber farming. In the experiment, mineral fertilizer-treated greenhouse soil served as the control group. Based on the nutrient supply of the greenhouse soil as measured by agrochemical analysis, the quantity of mineral fertilizer supplied to the soil in various years was calculated. Every 30 days, the plant underwent feedings with the prescribed dosage of organic and mineral fertilizer for all alternatives. Two phases comprised the application of mineral fertilizers. The quantity of mineral fertilizers applied was determined by the Fourier analysis of the soil performed in the first step. Various choices were considered when determining the amount of organic fertilizer/biohumus to be added in the second stage. The feeding alternatives all employ the same mineral fertilizer. To get a high yield under closed soil conditions, a very high quality of mineral fertilizers is often needed in such instances. Consequently, the crop begins to amass an excessive number of toxic compounds. When bio humus is used during feeding, such undesirable circumstances.

Use of Microalgae in the Production of Feed for Aquaculture Hasanboy K. Abdinazarov et al. Egyptian Journal of Aquatic Biology and Fisheries, 2023 This paper analyzed the dry mass output of microalgae from wet biomass in terms of their genus. The amount of dry mass outputs of microalgae was determined as follows: 27.6% in Ankistrodesmus strains, 25.2% in Scenedesmus strains, 23.4% in Botryococcus strains, 26.2% in Chlorella strains and 27.5% in Chlorococcum strains. Protein and fat content of microalgae were observed to differ sharply from each other when grown in Chu-13 nutrient medium. At the same time, it was noted that microalgae of the genus Ankistrodesmus contain 43.2-46.4% protein and 27.4-32.2% fat. In the same nutrient medium, microalgae of the species Scenedesmus retain 48.8-52.8% protein and 27.4-28.6% fat, respectively. Representatives of the species Botryococcus retain relatively less protein (46.2–46.8%) and fat (26.2–26.4%). While representatives of the species Chlorococcum and Chlorella retain high protein (46.4–48.8%) but low-fat synthesis (15.6–18.4%).
