Carbon dots derived fluorescent nanosensors as versatile tools for food quality and safety assessment: A review

摘要

Background: Food analysis is essential in monitoring food quality for risk assessment regarding public health. Traditional techniques can meet the requirement of routine food analysis in laboratory. However, serious food safety situations urgently demand rapid, time-saving, low-cost analysis methods even on-site, portable and household testing kits. Fluorescence analysis exhibits immense potential for food safety owing to its remarkable advantages of high sensitivity, ease of operation, low cost and rapid result outputs.
