TL;DR: An innovative approach based on a surface functional monomer-directing strategy for the construction of a sensitive and selective molecularly imprinted electrochemical sensor for patulin recognition is described, providing novel tactics for the rational design of MIP-based electrochemical sensors to detect a growing number of deleterious substances.

TL;DR: The results showed that the investigated rural dwellers were exposed to multiple mycotoxins, especially to carcinogenic mycotoxin AFB1 with a mean daily intake of 0.41 μg/kg·bw/day, thereby underlining a potential public health concern.

TL;DR: In this article, a simple and rapid magnetic solid-phase extraction (M-SPE) procedure using multi-walled carbon nanotube-magnetic nanoparticles (MWCNT-MNPs) as sorbents was established for purification of zearalenone (ZEA), α-zearal enol (α-ZOL), β-Zearal alenol (β-Zol), zearalanone, ZAN, α-ZAL and β- ZAL in maize.

TL;DR: Satisfactory linearity, high sensitivity, adequate recovery, acceptable precision, and acceptable precision were obtained when the optimal sample pretreatment protocol was combined with ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry detection.

TL;DR: The findings indicated that the proposed MoS2-Thi composite-based electrochemical sensing platform provides a new approach for the rapid and sensitive bioanalysis of ZEA, and it may also be extended to other mycotoxins for multiplex detection.
