Determination of phosphate in food based on molybdenum yellow derivatization coupled with resonance Rayleigh scattering method.

This paper proposed a rapid, selective and sensitive molybdenum yellow derivatization coupled with Resonance Rayleigh scattering (MYD-RRS) method for detection of phosphate. Under the acidic condition, phosphate can be selectively transformed to Keggin type of phosphomolybdic acid (PMA, i.e.

One-pot facile synthesis of enzyme-encapsulated Zn/Co-infinite coordination polymer nanospheres as a biocatalytic cascade platform for colorimetric monitoring of bacteria viability.

A rapid method for colorimetric monitoring of bacterial viability is described. The colorimetric method was carried out based on glucose oxidase-encapsulated Zn/Co-infinite coordination polymer (Zn/Co-ICP@GOx), which was prepared in aqueous solution free of toxic organic solvents at room temperature. The Zn/Co-ICP@GOx was confirmed to be a robust sphere structure with an average diameter of 147.
