In this paper, a sensitive biomimetic enzyme-linked immunoassay (BELISA) method based on an Au@Pt@Au composite nanozyme label was developed for histamine (HA) detection. A molecular imprinted polymer prepared directly on the 96-well plate served as a biomimetic antibody. A BELISA method was developed for HA standard solutions at concentrations ranging from 0.01 to 100.00 mg/L. Under optimal conditions, the novel BELISA method had a low limit of detection (0.069 mg/L) and high sensitivity (7.20 mg/L). The HA spiked in yellow rice wine and liqueur samples were detected by this BELISA method with the recoveries ranging from 84.28% to 108.82%. There was no significant difference of the results between the BELISA method and HPLC for the detection of HA in the red and white grape wine samples.

This study reports a fluorescence ratio immunosensor method for detecting dibutyl phthalate (DBP) sensitively and specifically using dual-emission carbon quantum dots labelled with amino-modified nucleic acid aptamers. Under optimal experimental conditions, the linearity range of the method for detecting DBP was from 12.5 to 1500 μg/L, with a limit of detection of 5.0 μg/L. Compared with detection results for two structural analogues, this method showed good specificity for DBP. Liquor samples spiked with DBP measured by this method exhibited a standard recovery of 93.2% to 112.4% with a relative standard deviation of 1.59% to 4.54%. The method was used to determine the DBP content in edible oil samples, providing results not significantly different from those obtained by gas chromatography. Compared with the single wavelength emission method, this method had a stronger anti-interference ability and provided more accurate results, so can be used for highly sensitive detection of DBP in food samples.
