Abstract
AbstractBackgroundThe rapid detection and efficient properties of surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) have been widely exploited in food safety.PurposeIn this study, the SERS impact of cysteine‐functionalized gold core‐silver shell bimetallic nanoparticle (Au@Ag@CysNPs) substrates with different pH treatments on pesticide compounds was examined.ResultsThe pH‐dependent SERS impact of Au@Ag@CysNPs on detecting pesticide compounds exhibited different enhancements over the pH range of 2–11 and exited the highest enhancement at a pH of 5 for thiabendazole and thiram pesticides. The prepared Au@Ag@CysNPs were further utilized in SERS‐based rapid detection of pesticides on apple peels by directly dropping Au@Ag@CysNPs on the surface of the samples, where the target molecules could be identified without elution or extraction. These findings revealed that this Au@Ag@CysNPs substrate exhibited excellent SERS performances for pesticide compounds and good stability. With additional optimization, detection limits of 0.1 ng/cm2 for thiabendazole and thiram on apple peels were obtained.
