Abstract
Avidin is a glycoprotein with antinutritional property, which should be limited in daily food. We developed an affinity biosensor system based on resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) and using affinity biotin labeling Au nanoparticles (AuNPs). This method was selective and sensitive for quick avidin detection due to the avidin–biotin affinitive interaction. Under optimal conditions, RRS intensity of biotin–AuNPs increase linearly with an increasing concentration of avidin from 5 to 160ng/mL. The lower limit of detection was 0.59ng/mL. This rapid and selective avidin detection method was used in synthetic samples and egg products with recoveries of between 102.97 and 107.92%, thereby demonstrating the feasible and practical application of this assay.
