Abstract:

β-Cyclodextrin and its derivatives with special structures can enhance the fluorescence intensity of a variety of fluorescence materials, which can significantly improve the determination sensitivity in the fields of chemical industry, medicine and cosmetics. However, it was still at the elementary stage with unclear mechanisms in the detection of food. In this paper, the enhancement effect of β-cyclodextrin and its derivatives are analyzed and current problems in the evaluation of food safety are discussed, which will provide a promising research direction.

Key words: β-cyclodextrin, fluorescence enhancement, food safety, detection
