Abstract

From farm to plate, food meets various challenges and pollution. Food detection is essential to ensure food safety. Although detection techniques have obtained great development, the accuracy, sensitivity and operating conditions still have room for improvement. Composed of dielectric media with different refractive indices to form a periodic structure, an optical material named photonic crystal (PC) can offer a breakthrough. Owing to the periodic structure, Bragg diffraction happens with optical waves propagating in a PC and photonic band gap (PBG), a characteristic parameter of the PC, will form. The properties of PBG are widely used in the field of detection. Combined with the techniques of biology, immunology, optics and fluorescence etc., PCs can play the role of specific, efficient, sensitive and convenient sensors in food detection. At present, PCs have been successfully applied to analyze hazardous substances in food, such as microorganisms, biotoxins, veterinary drug residues, pesticide residues, excessive additives, illegal additives, environmental pollutants and heavy metal composition. This article introduces PCs about the fabrication methods, principles and techniques applied in detection and research progress in food detection.
