Abstract
Accurate and convenient determination of free and total sulphur dioxide (SO2) in beer is pivotal to guarantee the quality of beer, but the traditional assay methods are laborious, time-consuming, and dependent on experienced technician. In this study, we designed and synthesized a flavylium-based fluorescent probe Hy-S which exhibited selective response to SO2 under both acidic conditions (pH = 4.0) and basic conditions (pH = 9.0) with low detection limits of 0.076 mg/L and 0.041 mg/L, respectively. The real beer samples were directly assayed to obtain the free SO2 by the probe-based method while the samples were basified and diluted before spectral measurements to determine the total SO2. Due to the advantages of fast response, convenience, accuracy and greenness, the probe-based method possesses great potential for quantification of both free and total SO2 in beer.
期刊介绍:
Spectrochimica Acta, Part A: Molecular and Biomolecular Spectroscopy (SAA) is an interdisciplinary journal which spans from basic to applied aspects of optical spectroscopy in chemistry, medicine, biology, and materials science.
The journal publishes original scientific papers that feature high-quality spectroscopic data and analysis. From the broad range of optical spectroscopies, the emphasis is on electronic, vibrational or rotational spectra of molecules, rather than on spectroscopy based on magnetic moments.
Criteria for publication in SAA are novelty, uniqueness, and outstanding quality. Routine applications of spectroscopic techniques and computational methods are not appropriate.
Topics of particular interest of Spectrochimica Acta Part A include, but are not limited to:
Spectroscopy and dynamics of bioanalytical, biomedical, environmental, and atmospheric sciences,
Novel experimental techniques or instrumentation for molecular spectroscopy,
Novel theoretical and computational methods,
Novel applications in photochemistry and photobiology,
Novel interpretational approaches as well as advances in data analysis based on electronic or vibrational spectroscopy.
