Abstract

The present study is dedicated to the problem of electrochemical analysis of multicomponent mixtures, such as milk. A combination of cyclic voltammetry facilities and machine learning techniques made it possible to create a pattern recognition system for the detection of antibiotic residues in skimmed milk. A multielectrode sensor including copper, nickel, and carbon fiber was fabricated for the collection of electrochemical data. Processes occurring at the electrode surface were discussed and simulated with the help of molecular docking and density functional theory modeling. It was assumed that the antibiotic fingerprint reveals a potential drift of electrodes, owing to complexation with metal ions present in milk. The gradient boosting algorithm showed the best efficiency in training the machine learning model. High accuracy was achieved for the recognition of antibiotics in milk. The elaborated method may be incorporated into existing milking systems at dairy farms for monitoring the residue concentrations of antibiotics.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a simulation / modelling, done in computer models (in silico), not in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
