Abstract:

In this study, a method for identifying residual antibiotics in food was developed based on chromium black T and europium ion as colorimetric and fluorescent probes (EBT/Eu3+) coupled with pattern recognition in machine learning. The changes in color and fluorescence of four antibiotics with the addition of EBT/Eu3+ were obtained using smart phone and fluorescence measurements. Assisted by pattern recognition, the four antibiotics in honey were successfully identified. This experiment is highly comprehensive; it integrates multiple knowledge points, such as two-channel probe preparation, color recognition based on smart phone, fluorescence measurements, machine learning, and identification of various antibiotics.

Key words: Chromium black T, Europium ion, Colorimetric and fluorescent probe, Pattern recognition, Antibiotics
