Summary: | An up-conversion molecularly imprinted ratiometric fluorescent probe with a monodisperse nuclear-satellite structure and its test strip are designed which can avoid fluorescent background interference to detect Sudan I in chili powder highly selective and sensitive. The detection mechanism is based on the selective recognition of Sudan I by imprinted cavities on the surface of ratiometric fluorescent probe and the inner filter effect between Sudan I molecules and the emission of up-conversion materials (NaYF

:Yb,Tm). Under optimized experimental conditions, the response of fluorescent ratio signals (F

) of this test strip show a good linear relationship in the range 0.02–50 μM Sudan I. The limits of detection and quantitation are as low as 6 nM and 20 nM, respectively. Sudan I is selectively detected in the presence of fivefold higher concentrations of interfering substances (imprinting factor up to 4.4). Detection of Sudan I in chili powder samples show ultra-low LOD (44.7 ng/g), satisfactory recoveries (94.99–105.5%) and low relative standard deviation (≤ 2.0%). This research offers a reliable strategy and promising scheme for highly selective and sensitive detection of illegal additives in complex food matrix via an up-conversion molecularly imprinted ratiometric fluorescent test strip.
