Colorimetric Sensing of Putrescine and Cadaverine Using Ninhydrin as a Food Spoilage Detection Reagent

Latest advances in sensors for optical detection of relevant amines: insights into lanthanide-based sensors

“…The colorimetric detection of putrescine and cadaverine has been performed in both aqueous and vapour samples. Sudalaimani et al 22 developed a sensor based on ninhydrin for the detection of these aliphatic amines in water solutions. The sensing mechanism was based on the formation of a violet complex upon reaction between ninhydrin (Fig.…”

Colorimetric Sensors Based on Multifunctional Polymers for Highly Sensitive Detection of Food Spoilage

“…Issues associated with food quality and safety are increasingly becoming significant public concerns. , Particularly, concerns on perishable foods, for example, meat, seafood, and milk, are more outstanding as the growth of pathogens and spoilage microorganisms are easier to occur in these foods when exposed to relatively high temperatures (5–60 °C). , Ammonia and biogenic amines, which are mainly generated by protein decomposition, are known as the main metabolites during the spoilage of fish and seafood products. , By means of precisely detecting the level of these strongly odiferous compounds in perishable foods, one can readily evaluate the degree of food spoilage. Furthermore, based on this principle, many analytical methods such as spectroscopy, chromatography, , and electrochemistry have been established to directly measure the amount of these compounds in food.…”

A novel fluorescent probe of alkyne compounds for putrescine detection based on click reaction

“…22 Giribabu et al demonstrated a ninhydrin colorimetric method for the quantitative detection of aliphatic biogenic amines, putrescine, and cadaverine. However, this detection method is only faster at 80 C. 23 Khuhawar et al used sodium lauryl sulfate to protect silver nanoparticles, allowing silver nanoparticles to interact with putrescine and cadaverine, and established a quantitative detection method for putrescine and cadaverine. 24 Sathiyanarayanan et al developed a new donor-acceptor (D-A) type ratiometric and colorimetric sensor using a pyridine ring and biphenyl dicyandiethylene as the donor and acceptor, respectively, which can selectively and efficiently identify biogenic primary amines.…”
