Abstract:
Aflatoxin B
1 (AFB
1) is the most common class of contaminants in natural foods, and it is also the most toxic and carcinogenic. In this work, metal organic framework nanoenzyme (Mn MOF) with catalase-like properties were synthesized. The Mn MOF-C was obtained after high-temperature carbonization, and the composite Pt NPs@Mn MOF-C was obtained by doped platinum nanoparticles, which was found that its catalytic capacity could be further enhanced. The composite was used as a marker to prepare the AFB
1 aptamer sensor. The aptamer with high affinity and high specificity can be specifically bind to AFB
1 and dissociates from the electrode surface, resulting in a reduced current signal catalyzed by Pt NPs@Mn MOF-C, thus achieving quantitative detection of AFB
1 in food. In the range of 0.001 to 100 ng/mL, the response signal gradually decreased as the mass concentration of the target AFB
1 increased. The aptasensor constructed in this work has high sensitivity and short time consuming, and can be used for AFB
1 detection in real rice samples, showing good application prospects.
