摘要A rapid method for detecting fatty acids (FAs) using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) technology combined with a metamaterial-based THz sensor was developed. We measured the THz responses to oleic acid, linoleic acid and alpha-linoleic acid with different numbers of double-bond, alpha-linoleic acid and gamma-linoleic acid with different conformations. In addition, in order to explore the reason for the observed redshifts of the resonance frequencies of the four FAs, the dielectric constants of the FAs were measured in the THz region. Furthermore, the four fatty acids were also attempted to be identified by Raman spectroscopy, which was difficult to accomplish unambiguously because of the effect of fluorescence. This result thus demonstrates the power and usefulness of metamaterial-assisted THz-TDS in the rapid determination of the FAs, and its potential as a versatile tool for investigation of biological metabolism, and for food product quality, safety inspection and control.
