Rigidity-Responsive Fluorescence Polarization Detection of Aflatoxin B
PubMed · 2026-04-17
Scientists developed a new fluorescence-based method to detect aflatoxin B1, a dangerous mold toxin that contaminates crops like corn and peanuts. The technique uses changes in light polarization to signal the toxin's presence quickly and sensitively.
1
The fluorescence polarization method can detect aflatoxin B1 by sensing changes in molecular rigidity when the toxin binds to a probe molecule
2
The approach offers a rapid, sensitive alternative to traditional detection methods that require extensive lab processing
3
Rigidity-responsive signaling enables detection without complex equipment, potentially supporting field-level food safety testing
