Quantity of Cu(II) ions in a copper pot by a DNAzyme-based fluorescent sensor
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: These features allow the sensor suitable for quantitatively detecting Cu(II) in a copper pot, where a maximum Cu(II) concentration of 40.0 μM was achieved upon the addition of pickled cucumber. Our findings suggest that acidic conditions are beneficial for increasing Cu(II) content in the cooking medium. This provides a scientific basis for using copper cookware as a means to increase dietary copper intake.
