Abstract

Mycotoxins are a group of toxic metabolites produced by fungi that infect agricultural products. Consuming mycotoxin-contaminated foods and feeds can cause various adverse health effects in humans and animals. Therefore, developing rapid and sensitive analytical methods for detecting mycotoxins is an urgent task. The molecularly imprinted technique is an advanced analytical tool for the specific recognition and selective enrichment of target molecules. For the development of rapid detection methods for mycotoxins, synthesized molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) can serve as specific recognition elements. By integrating MIPs with various sensing platforms, such as solid-phase extraction, electrochemical sensors, fluorescence sensors, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, and surface plasmonic resonance sensors, remarkable progress has been made in the detection of mycotoxins in foods. This review focuses on the advances in the application of MIPs for the rapid detection of various mycotoxins over the past five years. The development of new MIP synthesis methods is categorized and summarized. Moreover, the future potential of MIP-based methods for mycotoxin detection is also discussed and highlighted.
