Abstract:Patulin is a mycotoxin produced by a number of fungal species.In recent years，advanced pretreatment technology and nanomaterial-based sensors have become hot research topics related to patulin detection.This paper reviews the body of patulin research，focusing on pretreatment techniques，molecular imprinting techniques，and aptasensors.Disadvantages and future prospects of each are discussed.This paper can provide a reference for patulin monitoring within China's food safety network.
