Thylakoid-based green preparation of porous microneedles for antibiotic residues detection in food samples

Antibiotic residues in food chain have raised concerns regarding their toxicity and involvement in antimicrobial resistance. However, most existing antibiotic biosensors are primarily applicable to liquid food samples. Given the complex matrix characteristics of foods, there is an urgent need for the development of effective antibiotic detection platforms that exhibit high universality and flexibility. Porous microneedles (PMN) are microdevice structures with needle-like shapes and microscale pores throughout their composition, which facilitate rapid sampling. Consequently, the integration of PMN with biosensors holds significant promise for the detection of antibiotic residues in complex food samples.
