AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies are difficult to effectively degrade zearalenone under acidic conditions. Natural enzymes are easily deactivated in acidic environments, and traditional methods may damage food quality or pose a risk of secondary contamination.
The hollow cerium dioxide nanozyme, under acidic conditions, works in conjunction with hydrogen peroxide to catalyze the decomposition of zearalenone by reactive oxygen species. It maintains high activity by adjusting the mixed valence state of Ce3+/Ce4+ and the oxygen vacancy structure.
100% degradation of zearalenone was achieved under acidic conditions. The reaction was fast, low-cost, and environmentally friendly, avoiding damage to food quality and secondary pollution.
