Abstract:
Casein Phosphopeptide (CPP), a peptide for calcium absorption enhancement and bone mineralization, is a key nutritional fortification of infant formula. However, rapid and accurate detection of CPP remains challenging. In this study, the first external blank matrix-free, on-site fluorescence sensing platform for CPP is proposed. The method relies on the collaboration of CuFe2O4 magnetic particles (MPs) and TiO2@PDA@Fe3O4 MPs. CuFe2O4 MPs exhibit oxidase-like activity, catalyzing the oxidation of o-phenylenediamine (OPD) and emitting fluorescence, while CPP can inhibit its oxidation. Meanwhile, TiO2@PDA@Fe3O4 MPs can selectively adsorb CPP and phosphate impurities during pretreatment, reducing matrix interference. The platform was verified by unknown milk powder samples and demonstrated excellent selectivity, sensitivity, and accuracy (limit of detection: 1.04 μg mL-1, linear range: 5-100 μg mL-1, recovery rates: 96.2-108.5%, relative standard deviations: < 4.6%). Moreover, a self-designed portable device was constructed, enabling on-site CPP detection.
