High Throughput Detection Methods for Multiplex Mycotoxins

Abstract

Mycotoxins are toxic low-molecular-weight compounds which produced by the metabolism of certain fungi species. Due to their toxicity, chemistry stability, diversity and co-occurrence in agriculture products, it is urgently needed to develop the rapid, simple and effective detection technique methods to monitor and prevent mycotoxin contamination in whole food chain. This article gives a review about high throughput detection methods for multiplex mycotoxins which mainly includes chromatographic instrument techniques, microarray chip, suspension array, lateral flow biosensors, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and nanoparticle-based biosensors. The advantages and disadvantages and the key steps of them have been discussed. The insight and evaluation of the technique progress were given, which would be helpful to further develop this filed.

Mycotoxin Contamination of Beverages Obtained from Tropical Crops

“…A significant amount of multi-toxin analysis is increasingly being based on HPLC-MS, HPLC-MS/MS and UPLC-MS/MS [184]. As shown in Table 5, electrospray ionization (ESI) interface is commonly used for mycotoxin analysis.…”

Current Understanding of Toxins and Toxicity Associated With Novel Detection Methods

“…Zhang et al [2], investigated the nanotoxicity of dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) coated iron oxide nanoparticles. Li et al [3], reviewed the currently available high throughput methods of mycotoxin detection. Bais et al [4], authored a review on Jellyfish toxins, and treatment strategies in response to the sting of a jellyfish.…”

“…Due to their toxicity, stability, and extensive use in agriculture, there is a pressing need to develop large-scale, rapid yet simple and effective mycotoxin detection techniques. Li et al [3], have reviewed the currently available high throughput methods of mycotoxin detection. They have focused on both the advantages as well as disadvantages of these methods.…”
