摘要: Accurate and timely detection of sodium nitrite is critical for ensuring food safety. Current detection methods predominantly rely on large-scale analytical instruments and lack portable systems for rapid, real-time visual analysis in field settings. This study presents a ferrocene-based polymeric photonic crystal sensor for semi-quantitative visual detection of sodium nitrite in food. The sensing mechanism involves a cascade process: sodium nitrite inhibits catalase activity, preventing decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. This alteration affects the redox process of the sensor, resulting in a change in the blue shift of reflection. Distinct structural color transitions (orange-red to green) correlate with different sodium nitrite concentrations, enabling semi-quantitative visual detection at concentrations as low as 5 x 10-5 g/L (0.72 mu M). The method is facile, insensitive to pH variations, rapid in response, and exhibits high sensitivity, stability, broad adaptability, and robust anti-interference capability. The preliminary application of the sensing system in real samples displays promising prospects. This research contributes to the advancement of practical applications in the field of food safety.
