Development of films based on tapioca starch/gold nanoparticles for the detection of organophosphorus pesticides

Organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) are used in crops to eradicate pests, but are of concern to the public, attributable to their potential toxicity to human health. In the present study, a biodegradable composite film containing citrate-stabilized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) was developed to detect pe...

Development of films based on tapioca starch/gold nanoparticles for the detection of organophosphorus pesticides
description Organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) are used in crops to eradicate pests, but are of concern to the public, attributable to their potential toxicity to human health.

The proposed composite film has distinctive structural and functional characteristics as a colorimetric recognition indicator for detecting OPs (malathion, fenthion, dimethoate, and chlorpyrifos). The developed film was morphologically and spectroscopically characterized through electron microscopy and UV–Vis spectrometry, respectively. The spherical-shaped and monodispersed AuNPs were obtained with an average particle size of 20 nm.
