ABSTRACT
In this work, a sea urchin gold nanoparticles-zearalenone aptamer- tetramethylrhodamine sensor was constructed. Sea urchin gold nanoparticles, prepared using the seed-mediated growth method, were used as Raman substrates. Nucleic acid aptamers were mainly used as specific recognition molecules. Zearalenone detection in miscellaneous beans was accomplished using the principle of conformational change in aptamer. In addition, we evaluated the linear range, sensitivity, and selectivity of our sensor. We observed that at the displacement of 814 cm-1, for Zearalenone concentrations of 0.01-60 ng/mL, the Raman signal intensity linearly correlated with the zearalenone concentration, with a limit of detection of 0.01 ng/mL, and recoveries of 91.7% to 108.3%. The optimum detection time was 30 min. Thus, our sensor exhibited great potential in zearalenone detection in food products.
