Abstract
Biosensors have been widely applied in tests for allergens, but on-site detection remains a challenge. Herein, we proposed a detection procedure for peanut Ara h 1 as a representative allergen, which was extracted from a cookie, thereby minimising the need for any complex pretreatment that was difficult to perform, and enabling the visual detection of the target without the use of analytical equipment. The extraction procedure was performed in less than 30 min using a syringe and filter (0.45 μm). The detection method for Ara h 1 was based on the aggregation of switchable linkers (SL) and gold nanoparticles (AuNP), and the presence of 0.19 mg peanut protein per 30 g of cookie could be confirmed within 30 min based on the AuNP/SL concentration ratio by the precipitation. This proposed procedure could be successfully applied to the detection of a wide range of food allergens.
