A sensing strategy using hydrogel is developed to monitor biogenic amines, with color changes indicating freshness, quantifying BAs vapor, and successfully assessing sample freshness. This strategy is more economical and practical compared to previous BAs sensors.
A simple, cost-effective and non-destructive sensing strategy is developed to real-time monitor the biogenic amines (BAs) for evaluating the food spoilage. This sensing strategy is performed on a functional hydrogel, which is fabricated by beta-D-glucose pentaacetate (beta-D-GP), silver ions and agarose hydrogel. The beta-D-GP serves as a reducing agent precursor because it can be hydrolyzed into beta-D-glucose under alkaline environment of BAs exposure. The as-prepared beta-D-glucose further reduces silver ions (Ag+) to silver nanoparticles (Ag-0) along with the color changes. The color changes can be distinguished by naked eyes, and digitized by a smartphone combined with RGB (red/green/blue) analysis. The (R + G + B)/B gray value of hydrogel is used to not only quantify the BAs vapor, but also successfully assess the freshness of actual sample. Compared to other previously reported BAs sensors, this strategy circumvents the pre-synthesis of fluorescence/colorimetric probe in advance, making its more economical and practical for monitoring the freshness of fish.
