The invention discloses a synthesis method of green
carbon quantum dots and application of the green
carbon quantum dots in
nitrite detection, and belongs to the technical field of
food analysis and detection. The detection method disclosed by the invention specifically comprises the following steps: preparing green
carbon quantum dots, drawing a
fluorescence standard curve, pretreating a sample,and determining the concentration of
nitrite in the sample. According to the invention, nitrosomercaptan is generated by utilizing the
analyte nitrite and
thiobarbituric acid through pi conjugation, and
fluorescence quenching can be caused by the internal
filtration effect between nitrosomercaptan and the green carbon
quantum dots, so that the existence of nitrite is monitored. The
system for detecting nitrite adopts green fluorescent carbon
quantum dots, so that the detection cost is low, the
reaction conditions are mild, the steps are simple, and the anti-interference performance is good. And the synthesis method of the green carbon
quantum dots disclosed by the invention is simple to operate and convenient and rapid in purification, and has good industrial application potential.
