This study introduces a novel magnetic solid-phase microextraction coupled with HPLC system for detecting chloramphenicol in food. Machine learning optimizes the process, enhancing detection accuracy and efficiency for food safety.
Area of Science:
- Analytical Chemistry
- Nanotechnology
- Biotechnology
Background:
- Detecting chloramphenicol (CAP) in complex food matrices presents significant analytical challenges.
- Existing methods often lack sensitivity, specificity, or efficiency for real-world food samples.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop an advanced analytical system for sensitive and accurate CAP detection in food.
- To integrate machine learning and molecular recognition for optimizing the extraction and detection process.
Main Methods:
- Fabrication of a nanocomposite material (AC-MSF) using magnetic nanoparticles, carboxylated pillar[5]arene, and aptamers for dual molecular recognition.
- Application of Bayesian optimization and six machine learning models (XGBoost, SVM) to optimize polymerization and extraction parameters.
- Utilizing SHAP analysis to identify critical parameters and kinetic simulations to elucidate the recognition mechanism.
Main Results:
- Optimized conditions using ML reduced cross-linker usage by 22.2% and polymerization time by 57%.
- Demonstrated synergistic dual recognition mechanism between CAP, pillararene, and aptamer.
- Achieved a low detection limit of 0.69 μg/L with high recoveries (85.0%-96.2%) in honey, milk, and egg samples.
Conclusions:
- The developed Apt-MIP-CP[5]A@SiO2@Fe3O4 (AC-MSF) system offers a highly efficient and sensitive method for CAP detection in food.
- Machine learning integration significantly improves analytical method optimization, reducing resource consumption.
- The synergistic dual recognition strategy provides a robust platform for detecting small molecules in complex matrices.
