Herein, an efficient electrochemical biosensor using electrospun cellulose acetate (CA) modified with silver nanoparticles has been developed for the detection of highly hazardous ochratoxin A (OTA). The obtained nanofibers were modified by the layer-by-layer assembly using chemical linkers and biorecognition elements. The developed biosensor shows excellent sensitivity and a low detection limit of 10 pM. It also demonstrates a good affinity towards OTA in cross-specificity studies. The proposed sensor is a potential platform for food monitoring as it opens new prospects towards the use of electrospun nanofibers modified AgNPs to enhance electrons movements and enable the fabrication of novel biosensors with improved functionalities. © 2021 IEEE. %Z cited By 1; Conference of 2021 IEEE International Conference on Sensors and Nanotechnology, SENNANO 2021 ; Conference Date: 22 September 2021 Through 24 September 2021; Conference Code:115165
