A carbazole-benzothiazole-based fluorescent probe embedded in paper, cellulose, and chitosan sensors for visual and rapid detection of bisulfite in food samples.
Bisulfite (HSO3-) is widely used as a food additive, yet its excessive residue poses potential health risks. Herein, a novel fluorescent probe TC-FV-BT was developed for the detection of HSO3-. Upon addition of HSO3-, the nucleophilic addition disrupted the π-conjugation of the probe, giving rise to a distinct fluoresc...
