Biomass-based indole derived composited with cotton cellulose fiber integrated as sensitive fluorescence platform for NH3 detection and monitoring of seafood spoilage

Abstract

Herein, an indole-derived water-soluble fluorescence nanomaterial and biomass-based cellulose filter paper integrated as solid-state fluorescence platform (H2-FP) for seafood spoilage detection was prepared. H2 exhibits high fluorescence stability and good biocompatibility with green beans, onion tissues, blood and zebrafish, which proving that H2 has a wide range of application scenarios. Further, H2-FP with effective, solid-state fluorescence, portable, and reusable characteristics is nanoengineered for NH3 quantitative and qualitative detection (DOL = 2.6 ppm). Then, H2-FP has been successfully used to monitor NH3 release in the seafood spoilage process at various storage time (4 °C and 25 °C). More importantly, fluorescence color of H2-FP is integrated smartphone are converted to digital values through RGB channels and successfully used to visualize semi-quantitative recognition of NH3. This sensing fluorescence platform integrated with smartphone furnishes an effective fabrication strategy and broad prospects for explore various biomass-based materials for sensing NH3 change in biological and environmental samples.
