This study built a fluorescent sensor from an amino-functionalized zirconium metal-organic framework coated with a molecularly imprinted polymer and used it to detect the antibiotic oxytetracycline in milk. The analyte is oxytetracycline; zirconium was not measured in milk.
Key numbers
- This paper reports no numerical findings relevant to zirconium exposure.
Methods (brief)
Microwave-assisted framework synthesis, imprinting, fluorescence quenching measurements and spiked milk recovery tests.
Evidence fitness
Off-topic for dietary exposure. The paper uses zirconium as a sensing material for an antibiotic residue; it does not support dietary exposure or toxicity claims for zirconium.
Limitations
No zirconium was measured in food, water, soil or human samples, so nothing in the paper describes exposure.
