Abstract

Glycinin is one of the most nutritious ingredients in soybean, but it is also an allergen that can cause allergic reactions in humans and animals, and even endanger life in severe cases. Therefore, it is imperative to develop a rapid and ultrasensitive detection method for glycinin. In order to achieve this goal, this experiment combined surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) technology with an economical, simple, fast and easy-to-carry immunochromatographic test strip, and successfully constructed an efficient sandwich immunochromatographic test strip. The immunoprobe of the test strip was covalently coupled by gold nanostars (AuNSs), Raman molecule 4-aminothiophenol (4-PATP) and rabbit polyclonal antibody. In this experiment, a gold nanostar immunochromatographic test strip for detecting glycinin was established. The detection limit of the test strip was 0.23 ng / mL, the recovery rate was 91.5–96.6 %, and the coefficient of variation was 1.61–6.15 %. In addition, the test strip had no cross reaction with whey protein, wheat protein, peanut protein, sesame protein and β-conglycinin, indicating that the detection method had good specificity and the ability to avoid false positive results. Hence, this experiment successfully prepared a rapid and sensitive test strip for glycinin.
