Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
The development of new sensors for on-site food toxin monitoring that combine extraction, analytes distinction and detection is important in resource-limited environments. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based signal readout features fast response and high sensitivity, making it a powerful method for detecting mycotoxins. In this work, a SERS-based assay for the detection of multiple mycotoxins is presented that combines extraction and subsequent detection, achieving an analytically relevant detection limit (similar to 1 ng/mL), which is also tested in corn samples. This sensor consists of a magnetic-core and mycotoxin-absorbing polydopamine-shell, with SERS-active Au nanoparticles on the outer surface. The assay can concentrate multiple mycotoxins, which are identified through multiclass partite least squares analysis based on their SERS spectra. We developed a strategy for the analysis of multiple mycotoxins with minimal sample pretreatment, enabling in situ analytical extraction and subsequent detection, displaying the potential to rapidly identify lethal mycotoxin contamination on site.
