Abstract (EN):
The selective fluorescence sensing of fructose was achieved by fluorescence quenching of the emission of hydrothermal-synthesized carbon quantum dots prepared by 3-hydroxyphenylboronic acid. Quantification of fructose was possible in aqueous solutions with pH of 9 (Limit of Detection L-OD and Limit of Quantification L-OQ of 2.04 and 6.12mM), by quenching of the emission at 376nm and excitation similar to 380nm with a linearity range of 0-150mM. A Stern-Volmer constant (K-SV) of 2.11x10(-2)mM(-1) was obtained, while a fluorescent quantum yield of 31% was calculated. The sensitivity of this assay towards fructose was confirmed by comparison with other sugars (such as glucose, sucrose and lactose). Finally, the validity of the proposed assays was further demonstrated by performing recovery assays in different matrixes.
