Abstract
The residue of pesticide fenthion is a common issue in food safety, and how to conveniently detect it is a challenge in the food industry. Therefore, combined with a portable Raman spectrometer, a surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) method based on a high-performance substrate Au@AgNPs had been designed for the rapid and sensitive detection of fenthion. Au@AgNPs can be induced to generate more hot spots to improve SERS signals because of their core-shell structure. The quantitative detection of fenthion was achieved under the optimal conditions: pH 7.0, 10−3 M CaCl2, 70 % Au@AgNPs concentration, and 4 min of incubation time. The results showed that the method had a wider detection range of 0.1–100 mg/L, a low detection limit (LOD) of 0.036 mg/L, excellent anti-interference ability, and reproducibility. In addition, the method was successfully validated with the actual sample rice. Therefore, the method had the advantages of being fast, on-site, and easy to use, which is useful for promoting its application.
