Abstract

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), coupled with characteristic peak screening methods, was developed for analyzing chlorpyrifos (CM) pesticide residues in rice. Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) were prepared as Raman signal enhancement. Magnesium sulfate (MgSO4 ), primary secondary amine (PSA), and C18 were used to purify the rice extraction. A successive projections algorithm (SPA) was performed to identify the optimal characteristic peaks of CM in rice from full Raman spectroscopy. Support vector machine (SVM) and partial least squares (PLS) were implemented to investigate the quantitative analysis models. The results demonstrated that six Raman peaks such as 671, 834, 1016, 1114, 1436, and 1444 cm −1 were selected by the SPA and SVM models and had better performance using six peaks (only 0.92% of the full spectra variables) with R 2 p = 0.97, RMSEP = 2.89 and RPD = 4.26, and the experiment time for a sample was accomplished within 10 min. Recovery for five unknown concentration samples was 97.45–103.96%, and T -test results also displayed no obvious differences between the measured value and the predicted value. The study stated that SERS, combined with characteristic peak screening methods, can be applied to rapidly monitor the chlorpyrifos residue in rice. Graphical Abstract
