Abstract:
Based on dual-template molecular imprinting polymerization technology, a fluorescent molecularly imprinted polymer doped with CdSe/ZnS quantum dots was developed to construct a "Turn-on" fluorescence sensor for the rapid, sensitive, and specific detection of two biogenic amines. The biogenic amines bind to the quantum dots, which eliminates surface defects and enhances the fluorescence emission intensity of the quantum dots. By optimizing both the polymerization and detection processes, the results demonstrate that the sensor can detect biogenic amines within the range of 0.01-10 mmol/L, with a low detection limit of 14.57 μmol/L and a detection time of only ten minutes. Moreover, the sensor is cost-effective and does not require specialized instrument operation, offering a practical approach for the rapid detection of biogenic amines in complex food matrices. This study advances the development of simultaneous recognition and rapid detection technologies for multiple target molecules.
