Abstract
Mycotoxins can accumulate in different organs or tissues by ingestion or skin contact and cause several health problems to humans. Thus, developing a rapid detection method for mycotoxins is important. Lateral flow immunoassay (LFI), with outstanding advantages of convenience and rapidity, is especially suitable for on-site monitoring of mycotoxin contamination in food. Some existing LFI have been considerably improved by combining different kinds of nanosensors or strategies for increasing sensitivity or efficiency. In this review, we summarized nanoparticles-based LFI (e.g., colored, luminescent, or magnetic nanoparticles) for mycotoxins detection. Enzyme, enhancement, or specific recognition elements-based LFI are also briefly explained. The LFI, which allows multiple detections, has paid more attention to mycotoxins preliminary screening. This review focuses on examples of developed LFI for mycotoxins to illustrate novel concepts as screening tools. We believe this review will attract considerable attention and stimulate more distinctive studies for the rapid detection of mycotoxins.
