Rational design of a fluorescent turn-on probe synergistically responsive to viscosity and polarity for rapid detection of total polar materials in edible oil

Key Points

• Detection of total polar materials is enhanced by the probe's sensitivity to viscosity and polarity, increasing reliability in quality evaluation.
• Key evidence shows that the fluorescent probe can rapidly perform assessments, making it suitable for food safety monitoring.
• The method involves rational design principles for the probe, combining sensitivity to viscosity and polarity to ensure accurate results.
• This work highlights an innovative approach to food quality assessment, suggesting further applications in the detection of contaminants.
