Carbon dots, Fluorescent, Food safety, Sensor, BiocompatibilityAbstract
Carbon dots (CDs), a novel member of the carbon nanomaterial class, exhibit dimensions smaller than 10 nm, high water solubility, biocompatibility, advanced optical properties, and low toxicity. In addition to these mentioned features, CDs surpass traditional analysis methods and other fluorescent carbon nanomaterials in the early detection of threats to food safety due to their environmentally friendly nature, easy and cost-effective synthesis methods, and straightforward applicability. Research indicates that the use of fluorescent CDs in food analysis enables the sensitive and highly selective detection of analytes. This review explores research on the application of CDs in the detection of residues and contaminants in the context of food safety and their use in food packaging.
