High Throughput Detection Methods for Multiplex Mycotoxins

Abstract

Mycotoxins are toxic low-molecular-weight compounds which produced by the metabolism of certain fungi species. Due to their toxicity, chemistry stability, diversity and co-occurrence in agriculture products, it is urgently needed to develop the rapid, simple and effective detection technique methods to monitor and prevent mycotoxin contamination in whole food chain. This article gives a review about high throughput detection methods for multiplex mycotoxins which mainly includes chromatographic instrument techniques, microarray chip, suspension array, lateral flow biosensors, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and nanoparticle-based biosensors. The advantages and disadvantages and the key steps of them have been discussed. The insight and evaluation of the technique progress were given, which would be helpful to further develop this filed.
