Recently, food safety has received considerable attention, and various analytical techniques have been employed to monitor food quality. One of the promising techniques in this domain is the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technique. This study developed a facile, cost-effective SERS method by supporting a wipe-type substrate with a small-head cotton swab.
