ABSTRACT Folic acid (FA) is an important vitamin for human growth and development, especially for pregnant women. A sensitive, rapid, and accurate FA detection method is required to assess the nutritional quality and safety of foods. A monoclonal antibody against FA was prepared for the development of indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ic-ELISA) and lateral-flow immunochromatographic assay (ICA) strip. The 50% inhibitory concentration and limit of detection of ic-ELISA were 0.12 and 0.018 ng/ml, respectively. The visual limit of detection and cut-off values of the lateral-flow ICA strip were 0.5 and 2.5 ng/ml, respectively. Using the ICA strip, FA recovery rates were 89–98% from energy drinks and 73–87% for milk samples and were in good agreement with those obtained from the conventional microbiological assay method. Our developed methods are sensitive, convenient, effective, and suitable for on-site detection and rapid mass screening of food samples.
