Summary: In this study, a rapid electrochemical strategy using graphene nanoflakes (GF) as a sensing layer was proposed for citrinin (CIT) determination. The GF-SC showed higher sensing ability for CIT compared to other carbon materials, allowing reproducible determination of CIT below the maximum residual limit admitted in food. A molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) synthesized via sonochemical method was successfully used for selective extraction and clean-up of CIT from various samples. The proposed strategy showed good reproducibility and accuracy, with significant correlation to the CIT quantification performed with LC-MS/MS.
