Abstract:In view of the shortage of portable, nondestructive and real-time monitoring equipment for salmon freshness in the current market, a portable detection system based on perovskite quantum dots (CsPbBr3 QDs) fluorescence detection technology was developed, which mainly included two parts: preparation of high-performance CsPbBr3 QDs fluorescent nanomaterials and integration of portable fluorescence detection devices. For QD synthesis, oleic acid and oleylamine were used as ligands. Cesium oleate precursor was hot-injected into an oleylamine (OLA)-bromobutyric acid (BBA) mixture, followed by ethanol centrifugation and purification to obtain CsPbBr3 QDs. Characterization confirmed successful synthesis, with the QDs exhibiting high sensitivity and selectivity toward NH3 and undergoing static quenching upon contact with NH3. The QD-based fluorescent film retained the quantum dots' fluorescence intensity, showing favorable ammonia response (R^2=0.97) as well as good stability and repeatability. Through hardware-software co-design, a multifunctional portable device was constructed, featuring fluorescence excitation/detection, temperature-humidity monitoring, wireless data transmission, and threshold alarm functions. Real-time detection data were uploaded to a mobile App and upper computer for visualized display and storage. Field tests on salmon samples using the CsPbBr3 QDs film on the self-built portable platform revealed good linear correlations between the detection signal and TVB-N content at 4°C (R^2=0.93) and 25°C (R^2=0.94). This method can provide a convenient, efficient, and visual rapid detection approach for food quality assessment, and offer a reliable tool for fresh food supply chain management.
