Abstract:

Novel oil-soluble fluorescent carbon quantum dots (o-CDs) are prepared by pyrolysis with citric acid, glutathione and oleamine as raw materials. The o-CDs have good photochemical properties and optical stability. The maximum excitation wavelength and emission wavelengths are located at 375 and 440 nm, respectively, and the fluorescence quantum yield is 0.48. A fluorescence sensor with high sensitivity and selectivity for detection of oxytetracycline is established based on the fluorescence quenching effect. The o-CDs based fluorescence sensor exhibits a good linear relationship between the relative fluorescence intensity and the concentration of oxytetracycline (0.77~16.12 μg/mL) with the detection limit of 0.14 μg/mL. Furthermore, the sensor has the potential to determine oxytetracycline in milk samples. The spiked recoveries are in the range of 97.13%~104.18%, and the RSD value is less than 5%. The accuracy of the method is verified. The o-CDs is capable of monitoring oxytetracycline in food industry.
