Abstract
Contamination of foods and feeds by aflatoxins is a universal yet serious problem all over the world. Particularly, aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is the most primary form and readily leads to terrible damages to human health. In this work, we construct a sensitive aptasensor based on single-particle detection (SPD) to analyze AFB1 in peanut samples with luminescence resonance energy transfer (LRET) between the aptamer modified upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs-aptamer) and gold nanoparticles (GNPs). The UCNP-aptamer plays as the luminescence donor, while GNP acts as the energy acceptor. In the absence of AFB1, GNPs would adsorb onto the surface of UCNPs-aptamer because of the association between aptamers and GNPs, leading to luminescence quenching. However, the luminescence of UCNPs-aptamer is recovered gradually in the presence of AFB1 because the aptamers possess stronger affinity toward AFB1 than GNPs. Through statistically counting the number of luminescent particles on the glass slide surface, the concentration of AFB1 in solution is accurately determined. The linear dynamic range for AFB1 detection is from 3.13 to 125.00 ng/mL. The limit-of-detection (LOD) is 0.17 ng/mL, which is much lower than the allowable concentration in foods. As a result, this method would provide promising application for the sensitive detection of AFB1 in foods and feeds, which might make a meaningful contribution to food safety and public health in the future.
