Abstract

A 2D platform was designed and validated for fast screening of milk for deoxynivalenol. The qualitative and quantitative assay of deoxynivalenol in the milk samples was done using a 2D stochastic sensor based on single walled carbon nanotubes modified with [N-(pyridine-4-yl-methyl)]octadec-9-enamide. The working concentration range was between 10-15 and 10-6 g mL-1, with a sensitivity of 5.48 × 105 s-1g-1mL, and a limit of determination of 1 fg mL-1. Recovery values higher than 99.00 % with RSD values lower than 1.00 % were recorded for the determination of deoxynivalenol in cow's and in the vegetarian (coconut milk, soy milk, almond milk) milk.
