Abstract

Abstract Background Food quality and safety are very important from health as well as fiscal point of view. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) techniques have unique advantages in the field of food detection , with characteristics of fast analysis speed, high detection sensitivity, and without interference from the water phase. Scope and approach In this review, recent and potential advances in the application of SERS in food safety and quality from the perspective of SERS substrate and SERS composite systems are addressed. SERS systems such as molecular labeling, immunochromatographic assay, microfluidics, molecularly imprinted polymers, colorimetry and imaging are discussed, and their main advantages and limitations are highlighted. The applications of SERS in food safety are reviewed critically, with focus on the detection of microorganisms, pesticides, metal ions and antibiotics. Furthermore, applications of SERS in food quality regarding food freshness and ingredients are discussed. Key findings and conclusions SERS technology has been widely used in food testing, but it still has shortcomings. In order to establish SERS as a routine tool for the monitoring of food safety and quality, future research should focus on minimizing technical costs, standardizing experimental protocols, developing new SERS substrates, and integrating SERS with other methods to overcome its shortcomings.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
