Sulfur dioxide (SO) is widely used in food processing to extend the shelf life of food. However, excessive intake of SO and its derivatives (HSO and SO) can cause oxidative damage to the body, and result in several diseases. How to construct probes for rapid real-time detection of HSO in the field is beneficial to the developmental needs of practical applications, but it is also very challenging. Here we report a dual-mode fluorescent probe Rh-QL for ultrafast detection of HSO, which undergoes a specific 1,4-Michael addition reaction with HSO to achieve near-infrared fluorescence turn-on. Probe Rh-QL can rapidly (< 5 s) respond to HSO with a color change from purple to green and a strong fluorescence emission at 725 nm. The probe Rh-QL has been used for the detection of HSO in real sugar samples and can be prepared as a portable sensing kit for the detection of HSO in the environment due to its high efficiency, rapidity and accuracy. In addition, the probe Rh-QL is able to target label Gram-negative bacteria after reacting with HSO, which has the potential to identify the type of pathogenic bacteria.

Background: Bisulfite (HSO) plays crucial roles in food safety and physiological health. In the food industry, sulfur dioxide (SO) and its derivative bisulfite (HSO) are extensively employed as preservatives and bleaching agents. Nonetheless, overconsumption of bisulfite can present health hazards like asthma and potentially cancer.

Background: Sulfur dioxide (SO) is recognized as a major atmospheric pollutant and its excessive emissions can pose a great threat to the environment, flora and fauna, and human health. Long-term exposure to excessive SO can cause chronic poisoning, leading to neurological disorders and cardiovascular diseases. However, there are two sides to everything.

Sulfite (HSO) and hypochlorous acid (HClO) serve as essential food additives and key raw materials in bleaching agents. However, excessive consumption of these compounds may disrupt cellular redox homeostasis, leading to a series of adverse physical effects. Therefore, the development of reliable analytical methods to detect HSO and HClO levels in food products is of significant importance.

Sulfur dioxide (SO), an important gaseous signaling molecule, takes part in multiple pathological and physiological processes and plays a vital role in complex biological systems. However, the pathogenesis of many serious diseases, such as respiratory diseases, cardiovascular disorders and neurological diseases, resulting from excessive inhalation of SO remains unclear. Therefore, it is significant to develop reliable analytical methods to effectively and concretely monitor SO derivatives in living systems.

A new mitochondria-targeting fluorescent probe, 2-[(1E)-2-[(6-(dimethylamino)naphthalen)-2-yl]-ethenyl]-3-benzylbenzothiazolium bromide (NB), capable of simultaneously detecting viscosity and hydrogen sulfite ion (HSO₃), was synthesized. Under conditions of high viscosity, the near-infrared emission (710 nm) of NB was switched on as a result of the restriction of intramolecular bond rotation. In Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS) aqueous solution, the Michael addition of HSO₃ to probe NB perturbs its π-conjugated system, inducing a fluorescence quenching at 710 nm accompanied by concurrent fluorescence enhancement at 424 nm, thereby enabling ratiometric detection of HSO₃.
