Abstract

The growing demand for sustainable, cost-effective and sensitive technologies for food safety assessment has led to the investigation of advanced analytical techniques that minimize environmental impact. In this regard, implementing a sensing probe utilizing sulfur quantum dots (SQDs) manufactured using sulfur will not only minimize the environmental impact of waste disposal but also promote efficient use of resources. Currently, SQDs are emerging as excellent functional materials in various research fields due to their non-toxicity, antibacterial properties, biocompatibility, and excellent photoluminescence properties. This review presents the development and prospects of SQD-based detection systems in food and their prospects for tracking contaminants or quality changes in packaged foods. Despite the current rare applications in the food industry, SQDs can be considered potential candidates to develop new intelligent nanosensors for food quality control. This review provides an overview of the impact and feasibility of using SQD to detect and analyze food hazards and discusses future applications. In particular, this review discusses the challenges of existing analytical methods and highlights the advantages and disadvantages of SQD for food safety. The use of SQD can overcome the limitations of traditional food analysis methods and become an advanced method to analyze and detect food safety.

硫量子点在食品传感应用中的进展与前景

食品安全评估对可持续、高成本效益和高灵敏度技术的需求日益增长，这促使人们研究可最大限度减少对环境影响的先进分析技术。在这方面，利用硫制造的硫量子点（SQDs）实施传感探针不仅能最大限度地减少废物处理对环境的影响，还能促进资源的有效利用。目前，硫量子点因其无毒性、抗菌性、生物相容性和优异的光致发光特性，正在成为各个研究领域的优秀功能材料。本综述介绍了基于 SQD 的食品检测系统的发展和前景，以及它们在跟踪包装食品中的污染物或质量变化方面的前景。尽管目前 SQD 在食品工业中的应用还很少，但它可以被视为开发用于食品质量控制的新型智能纳米传感器的潜在候选材料。本综述概述了使用 SQD 检测和分析食品危害的影响和可行性，并讨论了未来的应用。特别是，本综述讨论了现有分析方法所面临的挑战，并强调了 SQD 在食品安全方面的优缺点。使用 SQD 可以克服传统食品分析方法的局限性，成为分析和检测食品安全的先进方法。
