Natural sensors built form commonly available materials are a fascinating theme of research aimed at empowering consumers with quick and in situ analytical capabilities. Natural sensors constructed in this project offer the quick determination of synthetic food dyes without laboratory analysis and the easy detection of pH levels by a highly sensitive and durable sensor fabricated based on an easy to follow formula and without synthetic or rare materials. Natural sensor arrays prepared in this project can be adopted for specialized and general uses with high flexibility and hence available for a broad audience with an impact on daily food quality monitoring and the use of smartphones as in this case, as an analytical devices.
