An Optical Chiral Sensor Based on Weak Measurement for the Real-Time Monitoring of Sucrose Hydrolysis

A chiral sensor with optical rotation detection based on weak measurement for the kinetic study of sucrose hydrolysis is presented. Based on the polarization modulation to the pre-selection state, the optical rotation of chiral sample was accurately determined through the central wavelength shift of the output spectrum. With this approach, the concentration response curves of sucrose and its hydrolysis products, i.e., fructose and glucose, were experimentally obtained for the hydrolysis analysis. By collecting the output spectrum with a frequency of 100 Hz and fitting the central wavelength shift synchronously during the measurement, the sucrose hydrolysis process was monitored in real time. Different hydrolysis conditions with varied concentration of invertase enzyme and citrate were implemented in this work. As a consequence, the real-time hydrolysis curves of the hydrolysis process with distinct velocities was achieved and analyzed. Such a kinetic monitoring about sucrose hydrolysis with optical rotation detection technology played a critical role in the researches involving sucrose, and also revealed the great potential of weak measurement in intersections, such as food safety inspection and chemical analysis.
