“…Many methods for the detection of AOZ have been developed, such as highperformance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet (Hu, Xu, & Yediler, 2007) and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) (Hu et al, 2007;Valera-Tarifa, Plaza-Bolaños, Romero-González, Martínez-Vidal, & Garrido-Frenich, 2013;Wilasinee, Sutthivaiyakit, & Sutthivaiyakit, 2015;Zhang, Qiao, Chen, Wang, & Xia, 2016), high-performance liquid chromatography diode array detection (Fernando, Munasinghe, Gunasena, & Abeynayake, 2017) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (Chang, Peng, Wu, Wang, & Yuan, 2008;Cheng et al, 2009;Cooper, Caddell, Elliott, & Kennedy, 2004;Franek et al, 2006;Jester, Abraham, Wang, EI Said, & Plakas, 2014;Le & Yu, 2015;Liu et al, 2010;Vass et al, 2005;Zhu et al, 2010). These analytical methods have many advantages of quantitative nature, precision and accuracy; however, they are time-consuming, expensive and unsuitable for analysis of large number of samples and also require expensive equipment and the procedure involves multiple steps.…”
