Abstract
L) as well as a molar ratio of 1:1 by the Benesi-Hildebrand plot equation. Corn and almond food samples showed the total AFs LOD of 2.74 and 4.34 ppb, respectively. The results are validated with standard LC/MS-MS in compliance with MRL value as per the regulatory standard (EU).The NP-based method is facile and rapid and hence can be utilized for onsite detection of total AFs in foods.
