“…Zearalenone (ZEN) is a metabolite produced by fusarium. It is a common pollutant in cereals such as corn, wheat, oats, etc. − Meanwhile, ZEN has hepatotoxicity, immunotoxicity, teratogenicity, and carcinogenicity, posing a great threat to human health. ,, The International Agency for Research on Cancer classified it as a Group III carcinogen. , There are several methods available for ZEN detection, such as high-performance liquid chromatography, gas chromatography–mass spectrometry, ultra-performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry, , and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. , But these methods require expensive equipment, skilled operators, and so on . Consequently, it is urgently necessary to develop a simple operation, low-cost, and easy-to-control approach for ZEN detection.…”
