Enrichment and detection of aflatoxin B1 in feed samples using magnetic solid-phase extraction materials with GMA as...

A novel magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) material, ferroferric oxide@UIO-66@ glycidyl methacrylate (Fe₃O₄@UIO-66@GMA), was developed for the rapid and efficient enrichment and detection of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) in feed samples. The Fe₃O₄ core provides magnetic properties for easy separation, while UIO-66, a zirconium-based metal-organic framework (MOF), offers a high surface area and abundant active sites for adsorption. The introduction of GMA enhances the interaction between the target toxin and the adsorbent material, improving the selectivity and sensitivity of the extraction process. Under optimized conditions, Fe₃O₄@UIO-66@GMA exhibited unparalleled adsorption performance, achieving efficient adsorption of AFB1 within 15 min and demonstrating an adsorption capacity as high as 18.51 mg/g. More importantly, spike recovery experiments indicated that this novel material could effectively enrich and detect AFB1 in complex feed matrices, providing a promising approach for AFB1 monitoring in the food and feed industry.
