- Abstract
One of the solutions to avoid antibiotic resistance threatening the world is to prevent antibiotic residues in foods. In our country, antibiotic residues are found in animal foods such as meat, milk, egg. Although the utilization of antibiotics is forbidden in beekeeping, antibiotic residues are found in honey too. Determination of residues by rapid, simple and inexpensive methods will facilitate monitoring of them in foods. Carbon dots are nanoparticles with dimensions less than 10 nm. Their fluorescence water soluble and non-toxicity attributes are some of the superior characteristics of carbon dots. In this study, carbon dots were used for rapid determination of tetracycline, which is mostly found in honey. Carbon dots were synthesized from chestnut honey using microwave method without using any additional chemical agents. The analysis of tetracycline was based on the decrease in emission strength (quenching) of carbon dots emitting blue fluorescence under UV light. Calibration curve was obtained plotting the increasing amounts of quenching as a function of increasing tetracycline concentrations. Correlation coefficient (R2) was calculated as 0.99. Tetracycline analysis was successfully achieved; however, the developed method should be applied to food samples in future.
