BPA detection nanoplatforms: toward an eco-friendly and cost-effective strategy

Abstract

BPA is a chemical compound found in many food containers, including baby bottles. It is an endocrine disruptor that may cause many health risks. This work aims to show a comparative study for the detection of BPA using on one side, commercialized silver nanoparticles/f-MWCNT/GCE nanoplatform, and on the other side, green AgNPs from Moringa Oleifera plant extract /functionalized MWCNT/GCE nanoplatform. Both nanoplatforms showed good performances in terms of limit of detection, reproducibility and repeatability. A reduction in cost and environmentally friendly strategy were provided using biosynthesized AgNPs compared to commercialized silver nanoparticles.
