Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of fine organic synthesis technology, and relates to a method for efficient detection of HSO3. - Nopinel carbazole-based enhanced fluorescent probes, their preparation methods, and applications. Background Technology
[0002] HSO3 - Sodium bisulfite (primarily sodium bisulfite) is a common food additive and industrial bleaching agent, widely used in food processing, brewing, papermaking, and pharmaceuticals. As a reducing bleaching agent and preservative, sodium bisulfite and other salts effectively inhibit enzymatic browning and microbial growth, extending the shelf life of food. They are also used to prevent browning of fruits and vegetables and to bleach sucrose. However, when illegally or excessively added, it can cause serious harm to human health. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies sulfites as Group 3 carcinogens. Excessive intake can induce asthma, allergic reactions, headaches, and gastrointestinal discomfort; long-term exposure is also associated with nervous system damage and respiratory diseases. my country's GB 2760-2024 "National Food Safety Standard for the Use of Food Additives" clearly stipulates the maximum permitted usage of sulfites in various foods (calculated as SO2 residue), such as no more than 0.35 g / kg in candied fruit. Therefore, rapid and sensitive detection of bisulfite residues in food and environmental samples is of great significance for ensuring public food safety and ecological health.
[0003] Traditional HSO3 - The main detection methods include iodometric titration, hydrochloric acid pararosaniline spectrophotometry, ion chromatography, and high-performance liquid chromatography. While these methods offer high accuracy and precision, they generally suffer from drawbacks such as complex sample pretreatment, long analysis times, reliance on large instruments, and specialized operation, making them unsuitable for market supervision and rapid on-site screening. In contrast, fluorescent probe technology, due to its fast response, high sensitivity, good selectivity, ease of operation, and lack of complex equipment, has demonstrated significant advantages in food analysis, environmental monitoring, and bioimaging. For the detection of bisulfite, numerous fluorescent probes based on different recognition mechanisms have been reported, primarily including aldehyde nucleophilic addition, carbon-carbon double bond Michael addition, and ester deprotection. However, the choice of fluorophore is crucial to the probe's optical performance; most probes utilize common fluorophores such as coumarin, hemicyanine, and dicyanoisophorone. A method for detecting HSO3 was synthesized using nopinene, a natural renewable raw material, as the backbone. - The novel fluorescent probe THCB-T-CAE has not been reported in the literature. This probe has dual detection functions, including colorimetric and enhanced detection, and boasts a wide detection range, high sensitivity, and good selectivity, particularly for HSO3-. - In-situ rapid detection is of great significance.
