Area of Science:

* Nanomaterials Science
* Analytical Chemistry
* Food Science

Background:

* Mycotoxins pose a significant threat to food safety and human health.
* Existing detection methods often lack the sensitivity or specificity for complex mixtures.
* Development of rapid, accurate, and versatile detection tools is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

* To develop a nanozyme sensor array for discriminating multiple mycotoxins.
* To utilize single-stranded DNA (ssDNA)-functionalized C3N4 nanosheets as sensor elements.
* To demonstrate the array's capability in identifying individual and mixed mycotoxins in food samples.

Main Methods:

* Fabricated sensor elements using C3N4 nanosheets with ssDNA (A40, T40, C40) for catalyzing TMB oxidation.
* Investigated the differential catalytic activity of nanozymes in the presence of five mycotoxins.
* Employed absorbance measurements and principal component analysis (PCA) for data interpretation and visualization.

Main Results:

* The sensor array successfully differentiated five mycotoxins with 100% accuracy at concentrations as low as 1 nM.
* Response patterns generated by PCA allowed for clear separation of individual mycotoxins.
* The array effectively discriminated mycotoxin mixtures with varying ratios and demonstrated practicality in spiked corn samples.

Conclusions:

* The developed nanozyme sensor array offers a sensitive and selective platform for mycotoxin detection.
* This technology holds promise as a flexible tool for ensuring food safety and quality control.
* The ssDNA-distensible C3N4 nanosheet-based array provides a robust approach for complex mycotoxin analysis.
