The modified Rankine colorimetric method for measuring sulfite added to food as a food additive has a low determination limit and is little influenced by interfering substances from foods. However, it can give erroneous results for foods containing Liliaceae Allium. So, four different methods, alkaline titration, a colorimetric method, ion chromatography and qualitative analysis with potassium iodate-starch paper, were examined. It was found that the sodium azide used in the colorimetric method forms sulfur dioxide during bubbling and heating. The proposed colorimetric method can be applied to food containing sulfur compounds, if sodium azide is omitted and 1% triethanolamine solution is used as an absorbent instead of 0.1 mol/L sodium hydroxide solution.

Hydrogen peroxide, phenols, amines, aldehydes, and other substances can easily damage intracellular biomacromolecules. Although natural peroxidases can convert these harmful substances into benign ones, the high costs, poor stabilities, and stringent application conditions associated with these enzymes necessitate the exploration of artificial mimics. In this study, Ce-doped MIL-101(Fe)-NH and MIL-101(Fe)-NO were synthesized with varying compositions a solvothermal method.

Herein, the miniaturized thermal purge-and-trap (MTPT) device combined with self-calibration colorimetric/surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) dual-model optical sensors were designed for effective analysis of sulfur dioxide (SO) in wine. The SO can be rapidly separated from wine and enriched by MTPT device, ensuring colorimetric/SERS dual-model optical sensing based on Karl Fischer reaction. The high separation efficiency of miniaturized MTPT device combined with self-calibration of dual-model optical sensors significantly alleviate matrix interference and improve the detection accuracy.

Quantitative analysis of As(V) in rice is of great significance for food safety and heavy metal pollution control. Here, a facile colorimetric method for As(V) detection was constructed by using immobilized acid phosphatase (ACP) in hollow metal-organic frameworks hybrid. Metalloporphyrin and gold nanoparticles modified hollow zeolite imidazole framework-8 [Au/HZIF-8@TCPP(Fe)], named AuHT, was chosen here as ACP immobilizing carrier with peroxidase-like activity.
