ABSTRACT
A colorimetric fluorescent probe (BTCNA) was developed for the determination of carboxylesterase and carbamate pesticides. The probe used naphthalene-benzothiazole as the fluorescent group and naphthyl acetate as the recognition group. The recognition mechanism of BTCNA for carboxylesterase was based on the enzymatic hydrolysis of naphthyl acetate by carboxylesterase (CES). The test paper of the BTCNA gradually changed from light blue to bright yellow with the increase of CES activity. The probe solution gradually changed from light blue to earth-yellow as the carbaryl concentration increased. There was a linear functional relationship between the R*G (red, green) value of the photo and the CES activity. And a linear functional relationship between the carbaryl concentration and the R*G value of the photo was found. Additionally, BTCNA was successfully used to detect the concentration of carbaryl in actual samples. BTCNA is a rapid detection tool for CES activity and carbamate pesticides using a smartphone.
