“…[1] Due to its antimicrobial, preservative and bleaching properties, formaldehyde is susceptible to illegal use as a food additive. [2,3] For this reason, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) has set an Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) for formaldehyde at 0.2 mg/kg body weight. [4,5] Therefore, the exploration of sensitive and simple detection methods to monitor formaldehyde levels in food is imminent, which is conducive to the discovery and prevention of formaldehyde pollution in food safety.…”

Formaldehyde is susceptible to illegal addition to foodstuffs to extend their shelf life due to its antimicrobial, preservative and bleaching properties. In this study, a self‐supporting “nanosheet on nanosheet” arrays electrocatalyst with core‐shell heterostructure was prepared in situ by coupling NiCo layer double hydroxide with 2D ZIF derived Co‐nitrogen‐doped porous carbon on carbon cloth (Co‐N/C@NiCo‐LDH NSAs/CC). Co‐N/C nanosheet arrays act as a scaffold core with good electrical conductivity, providing more NiCo‐LDH nucleation sites to avoid NiCo‐LDH agglomeration, thus having fast mass/charge transfer performance. While the NiCo‐LDH nanosheet arrays shell with high specific surface area provide more active sites for electrochemical reactions. As an electrocatalytic sensing electrode, Co‐N/C@NiCo‐LDH NSAs/CC has a wide linear range of 1 μM to 13 mM for formaldehyde detection, and the detection limit is 82 nM. Besides, the sensor has been applied to the detection of formaldehyde in food samples with satisfactory results.

This research leverages the fluorescence properties of a europium metal–organic framework (EuMOF) to assess the presence of aldehydes in food. The EuMOF demonstrates three distinct excitation peaks, with an unusual change in fluorescence intensity attributed to the excessive aggregation observed in the initial two peaks. Aldehydes, specifically monoaldehyde compounds (MACs) and dialdehyde compounds (DACs), can engage with the amine groups on the surface of the EuMOF through a Schiff reaction. This interaction disrupts the accumulation process during dilution and allows for the quantification and differentiation of aldehyde compounds based on their unique fluorescence behaviors. By conducting a series of sample dilutions, the ratio between the first two fluorescence excitation peaks can be determined, leading to the creation of a data matrix. The quantitative evaluation of aldehyde‐derived compounds is enabled by deconstructing the original sample matrix using reference matrices of EuMOF and a reaction mixture containing the aldehyde standard. This innovative technique for monitoring aldehydes eliminates the need for sample pretreatment, aldehyde derivatization, and the use of hazardous chemicals in the detection process, offering significant economic and public health benefits.
