The Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) is a powerful method to observe and detect a large panel of molecules. Through the highly enhanced Raman signal, it is possible to identify a very low concentration of molecules and to improve the limit of detection in sensor applications. In this paper, we propose a review on the use of SERS as sensor for the detection of food contaminants. We describe the different approaches and methods proposed in the literature for such detection as well as the main sensing characteristics provided by the use of this technique. All these results will be discussed and compared with other detection methods.

通过表面增强拉曼散射进行食品质量控制

表面增强拉曼散射（SERS）是观察和检测大量分子的有效方法。通过高度增强的拉曼信号，可以识别非常低的分子浓度并改善传感器应用中的检测极限。在本文中，我们提出了关于将SERS用作检测食品污染物的传感器的综述。我们描述了文献中针对这种检测提出的不同方法和方法，以及使用该技术提供的主要传感特性。所有这些结果将进行讨论，并与其他检测方法进行比较。
