RESUMO
Mycotoxin contamination is an important issue for food safety and the environment. Removing mycotoxins from food without losing nutrients and flavor components remains a challenge. In this study, a novel strategy was proposed for the targeted removal of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) from peanut oil using an amphipathic enzyme-metal hybrid nanoreactor (PL-GOx-Fe3O4@COF) constructed with covalent organic frameworks (COFs) which can selectively adsorb AFB1. Due to the confined space provided by COFs and the proximity effect between GOx and Fe3O4, the detoxification of AFB1 is limited in the nanoreactor without affecting the composition and properties of the oil. The detoxification efficiency of AFB1 in the chemoenzymatic cascade reaction catalyzed by PL-GOx-Fe3O4@COF is six times higher than that of the combination of free GOx and Fe3O4. The AFB1 transformation product has nontoxicity to kidney and liver cells. This study provides a powerful tool for the targeted removal of mycotoxins from edible oils.
