Abstract

A new resorufin-based probe is developed, which exhibits a rapid and sensitive color and a fluorescence off-on response to benzoyl peroxide (BPO) in aqueous media containing 10% ethanol via deboronation. The probe has been applied to the simple detection of BPO in real samples such as wheat flour and antimicrobial agent.
