Abstract
The abuse and misuse of fleroxacin (FLE) has led to its concerning accumulation in food and environment, posing potential health risks that demand a rapid, reliable, and sensitive determination method for FLE in complex matrices. Herein, a novel electrochemical sensing platform based on α-zirconium phosphate/reduced graphene oxide (α-ZrP/rGO) nanocomposites was firstly established for sensitive detection of trace FLE residues in tap water and honey. The synergistic interaction between α-ZrP and rGO significantly enhanced the system's electrochemical performance through both enlarged electroactive surface area and accelerated electron transfer kinetics. As a result, the optimized ZrP/rGO modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) exhibited excellent sensing performance for FLE, with a wide linear response range (0.1 – 10 μM) and a low limit of detection (0.02 μM). In addition, the α-ZrP/rGO/GCE demonstrated high selectivity against potential interferents, and showed good reproducibility and stability (92.12 % response retention after 15 days). Finally, practical applications in real samples yielded satisfactory recoveries of 98.1 % − 103.4 % in tap water and 98.8 % − 104.3 % in honey. These results highlight the potential of α-ZrP/GO nanocomposite as an efficient, reliable platform for real-time, on-site detection of FLE residues in food and environmental matrices.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Food Composition and Analysis publishes manuscripts on scientific aspects of data on the chemical composition of human foods, with particular emphasis on actual data on composition of foods; analytical methods; studies on the manipulation, storage, distribution and use of food composition data; and studies on the statistics, use and distribution of such data and data systems. The Journal''s basis is nutrient composition, with increasing emphasis on bioactive non-nutrient and anti-nutrient components. Papers must provide sufficient description of the food samples, analytical methods, quality control procedures and statistical treatments of the data to permit the end users of the food composition data to evaluate the appropriateness of such data in their projects.
The Journal does not publish papers on: microbiological compounds; sensory quality; aromatics/volatiles in food and wine; essential oils; organoleptic characteristics of food; physical properties; or clinical papers and pharmacology-related papers.
