Súhrn: Fish is consumed by many people around the world. However, fish may contain various pollutants such as heavy metals like mercury, cadmium, lead, iron, copper and nickel, with Cd being one of the most toxic elements. Therefore, this work focused on the development of a sensitive and selective colorimetric detection using a film of tapioca starch and gold nanoparticles (TS-AuNP) in the presence of Cd in fish. The detection mechanism was based on the aggregate formation between AuNP and Cd, associated with a colour change from red to purplish grey. The detection limit was 13.21 mmol·l-1 and the response was linear in the range from 6 mmol·l-1 to 12 mmol·l-1 (R2 = 0.9935). The limit of quantification was calculated to be 40.04 mmol·l-1. Notably, the biodegradable film was successfully used for the determination of Cd in seven different fish species. These results show that the developed biodegradable film was successful in detecting the presence of Cd in fish samples.
