Its level in the human body is closely linked to human health, such as diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, and cancer. The supplementation of exogenous GSH could bring health benefits and GSH detection in food is of considerable importance. However, the existing assays for GSH detection such as high-performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry, electrochemiluminescence and fluorescent nanoprobe were not satisfactory because of the disadvantages of equipment and site requirements. In this study, a multiple-colorimetric detection assay for GSH was developed based on GSH’s reaction with gold nanorods. During the reaction with varying concentrations of GSH, the gold nanorods degraded into spherical nanoparticles with multiple color changes, which could be used to determine GSH concentrations. The transverse surface plasmon resonance absorption peak of gold nanorods (AuNRs) significantly shifted, indicating a novel mechanism distinct from etching or surface coating, which typically altered the longitudinal surface plasmon absorption peak. Under optimized conditions, the assay exhibited commendable specificity and reliability in actual samples. The assay accurately quantified GSH ranging from 1 to 10 µM, with detection limits of 439 nM and 260 nM for spectrophotometry and visual analysis, respectively. It was firstly to use GSH as a reducing agent to react with AuNRs in the presence of AgNO<sub>3</sub> and the mechanism was different from etching or surface coating. The study’s assay shows potential for detecting GSH in food samples and provides an alternative approach for the development of colorimetric detection assays based on AuNRs.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":7802,"journal":{"name":"Analytical Sciences","volume":"41 4","pages":"335 - 343"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142998786","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A two-channel flow system of feedback-based flow ratiometry, primarily consisting of two peristaltic pumps, a digital microscope-based detector, and a laptop computer, was constructed; a Visual Basic.NET program written in-house was used for automating the analytical processes. While maintaining the total flow rate (<i>F</i><sub>T</sub>) constant, a titrand solution was merged with a titrant solution, both containing the same concentration of Van Urk’s universal indicator, under varying flow ratios. Downstream, the video image was captured with a digital microscope and its color was expressed as RGB values, hue, and luminance. The end point was determined from the rapid change of hue reflecting the color transition of the universal indicator around the equivalence point. A stepwise titration of multivalent acid (i.e., H<sub>3</sub>PO<sub>4</sub>) was also possible by setting hue values corresponding to the first (1st) and second (2nd) equivalence points as criteria to determine the respective end points. The hue-based approach was validated by the titrations of CH<sub>3</sub>COOH and H<sub>3</sub>PO<sub>4</sub> (1st and 2nd equivalence points) with 0.1 mol dm<sup>−3</sup> NaOH and to those of NaOH and NH<sub>3</sub> with 0.1 mol dm<sup>−3</sup> HCl.

One of the keys to successfully characterizing liquid gold, which is a complex mixture, is to distinguish Au-containing products from other chemicals.

Chemicals containing a single Au atom (and Pt atom) were successfully separated from other species in the two-dimensional distribution map for IM-MS. By a detailed analysis of the spectra obtained by IM-MS/MS with collision-induced dissociation before and after IM separation, we found that liquid gold (gold resinate) was a mixture of a series of (1) Au reacted with α-pinene-related units and (2) Au reacted with abietic acid units. α-Pinene and abietic acid are the main components of turpentine and rosin, the raw materials of liquid gold as reported previously (<i>Anal.
