A novel fluorescence sensing strategy based on nanoparticles combined with spectral splicing and chemometrics for the recognition of Citrus reticulata ‘Chachi’ and its storage year

Abstract

BACKGROUNDThe fluorescence sensing method has been increasingly applied in food quality control because it is fast and sensitive. However, its application in quality evaluation is challenging. Using Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium (CRP; dried mandarin orange peel) as an example, we developed a simple and low‐cost fluorescence sensing strategy based on nanoparticles combined with spectral splicing and chemometrics for quality evaluation. This method can recognize Citrus reticulata ‘Chachi’ (CRC) from other CRP cultivars and further identify the storage year.RESULTSNanogold particles and cadmium telluride quantum dots were selected as nanosensors and mixed with aqueous extracts of CRP separately to produce fluorescence quenching spectra. Then, a simple spectral splicing procedure was applied to obtain spliced spectra comprising different combinations of the self‐fluorescence and fluorescence quenching spectra of CRP samples. With the aid of partial least‐squares discriminant analysis, the new strategy achieved recognition rates of 100% in distinguishing CRC samples from other CRP samples, as well as recognition rates of 100% for the training set and 98.04% for the prediction set in the discrimination of the storage year of CRC. The recognition mechanism is dominated by interactions between the nanoparticles and the fluorescent components in the CRP samples, but other components also have concurrent effects.CONCLUSIONSThis novel fluorescence sensing strategy not only provides a new tool for the quality evaluation of CRC but also has good prospects for the authentication and traceability of other foods and herbs. Crucially, the developed method is convenient, simple and effective. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry

High‐throughput screening of secondary metabolites by Sorbus pohuashanensis cells under environmental stress using UHPLC‐QTOF combined with AntDAS

“…Therefore, fast and accurate data batch analysis procedures have become the technical bottleneck in the application of UHPLC-QTOF analysis method (Sharp et al, 2018). It is also a major obstacle Chemometrics has been widely used by researchers in the analysis of spectroscopy data such as those generated by chromatographic MS, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and spectroscopy due to its powerful filtering, smoothing, exchange, convolution, and information extraction capabilities (Hu et al, 2019;Lan et al, 2020;Li, Dong, et al, 2016;Li, Zeng, et al, 2016;Palmioli et al, 2020). Thus, automatic data analysis strategy (AntDAS) (Fu et al, 2017) was developed to simultaneously perform the peak detection, annotation and time offset corrections of the chromatographic data.…”
