Area of Science:

  • Nanotechnology
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Food Science

Background:

  • Histamine, a biogenic amine, is linked to allergic reactions and foodborne illnesses from spoiled food.
  • Accurate histamine detection is crucial for food safety standards and quality assurance.
  • Existing detection methods may lack speed, selectivity, or cost-effectiveness for widespread application.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an innovative paper-based colorimetric sensor for rapid and selective histamine detection.
  • To investigate the effect of gold nanoparticle size on sensor performance.
  • To establish the sensor's detection limit, linear range, and response time.

Main Methods:

  • Synthesized dopamine-conjugated gold nanoparticles (DCt-AuNPs) of varying sizes (13-39 nm).
  • Immobilized DCt-AuNPs onto filter paper to create paper-based sensors.
  • Monitored colorimetric changes and localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) shifts upon histamine interaction.
  • Evaluated sensor performance including detection limit, linear range, selectivity, and response time.

Main Results:

  • DCt-AuNPs exhibited size-dependent LSPR peaks and optical properties.
  • Histamine induced DCt-AuNP aggregation, causing a color change from red to blue.
  • The 15 nm DCt-AuNP sensor showed a low detection limit (2.38 µM) and a linear range of 20-70 ppm.
  • The sensor achieved rapid detection (<1 min) with high selectivity for histamine.

Conclusions:

  • The developed paper-based colorimetric sensor offers a sensitive, rapid, and selective method for histamine detection.
  • The sensor's performance is significantly influenced by the size of the DCt-AuNPs.
  • This technology holds potential for practical applications in food safety monitoring and quality control.
