Aptamer-functionalized stir bar sorptive extraction for selective isolation, identification, and determination of concanavalin A in food by MALDI-TOF-MS

© 2023. The Author(s)..

An aptamer-functionalized stir bar sorptive extraction (SBSE) coating is described for the first time devoted to selective isolation and preconcentration of an allergenic food protein, concavanalin A (Con A), followed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) determination. For this purpose, the polytetrafluoroethylene surface of commercial magnetic stir bars was properly modified and vinylized to immobilize a thiol-modified aptamer against Con A via straightforward "thiol-ene" click chemistry. The aptamer-functionalized stir bar was employed as SBSE sorbent to isolate Con A, and several parameters that can affect the extraction efficiency were investigated. Under the optimized conditions, Con A was extracted and desorbed during 30 and 45 min, respectively, at 25 °C and 600 rpm. The SBSE MALDI-TOF-MS method provided limits of detection of 0.5 μg mL-1 for Con A. Furthermore, the SBSE coating was highly selective to Con A compared to other lectins. The developed method was successfully applied to the determination of low levels of Con A in several food matrices (i.e., white beans as well as chickpea, lentils, and wheat flours). Recoveries ranged from 81 to 97% with relative standard deviations below 7%. The aptamer-based stir bars presented suitable physical and chemical long-term stability (1 month) and a reusability of 10 and 5 extraction cycles with standards and food extracts, respectively. The developed aptamer-affinity extraction devices open up the possibility of developing novel highly selective SBSE coatings for the extraction of proteins and peptides from complex samples.
