Ensuring food safety and safeguarding human health necessitate the development of reliable portable biosensors capable of accurately detecting contaminants at their source. Leveraging the power of smartphone cameras for capturing color or fluorescence changes has emerged as a promising avenue in biosensor technology. This approach enables the detection of specific molecules on paper or in chemical solutions, with ratiometric designs gaining popularity due to their self-calibration and resilience to environmental changes.
This review focuses on cutting-edge advancements in ratiometric optical sensing, specifically highlighting the integration of Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) with lanthanide components, coupled with smartphones. The utilization of these sophisticated frameworks facilitates the visual identification of contaminants in food and water, offering a groundbreaking solution for enhancing food safety. The article delves into the principles, properties, and applications of color changes for visual detection in the context of food safety, providing valuable insights into the innovative intersection of MOFs, lanthanide components, and smartphone technology.
In conclusion, the integration of lanthanide metal-organic frameworks with smartphones presents a potent and efficient method for the visual detection of contaminants, thereby elevating food safety standards and ultimately safeguarding human health.
