Abstract
The abuse or misuse of fleroxacin (FLE) in aquaculture and livestock may elevate FLE residues in foods, posing a serious threat to human health. Consequently, FLE detection has garnered extensive attention in food science. This study developed a magnetic separation-assisted colorimetric aptasensor for ultrasensitive FLE detection, leveraging the enhanced nanozyme activity of CoOOH nanoflakes with hairpins and dual cascade amplification (CHA-HCR). Under optimal experimental conditions, the proposed aptasensor exhibited high specificity for FLE with a wide linear range (1–100 nM) and a detection limit as low as 758 pM. Furthermore, the colorimetric aptasensor demonstrated robust performance in FLE-spiked honey analysis, achieving 96.70–101.06 % recoveries with 2.42–5.45 % RSDs, which showed strong agreement with commercial ELISA results. This study establishes a simple and effective platform for sensitive FLE detection in honey samples, demonstrating significant potential for practical food safety monitoring.
期刊介绍:
Food Control is an international journal that provides essential information for those involved in food safety and process control.
Food Control covers the below areas that relate to food process control or to food safety of human foods:
• Microbial food safety and antimicrobial systems
• Mycotoxins
• Hazard analysis, HACCP and food safety objectives
• Risk assessment, including microbial and chemical hazards
• Quality assurance
• Good manufacturing practices
• Food process systems design and control
• Food Packaging technology and materials in contact with foods
• Rapid methods of analysis and detection, including sensor technology
• Codes of practice, legislation and international harmonization
• Consumer issues
• Education, training and research needs.
The scope of Food Control is comprehensive and includes original research papers, authoritative reviews, short communications, comment articles that report on new developments in food control, and position papers.
