    Abstract:
    Viscosity is a typical physical parameter and plays an important role in nutrient transferring, diffusion process regulating and safety warning. Aberrant mitochondrial viscosity is closely associated with an imbalance in a liquid system. Nevertheless, there is currently a lack of convenient and efficient tools for the mutation of viscosity detection at the molecular level. Herein, a natural product xanthohumol (XTH) was extracted from Humulus lupulus and used to measure the microenvironmental viscosity. Due to the existence of carbonyl and phenolic hydroxyl groups, a typical twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) was formed. The conjugated single and double bonds can be employed as the rotatable site. Consequently, a turn-on method based on viscosity response is developed. High sensitivity (x = 0.56) with a remarkable enhancement (55-fold) toward viscosity and a visualized fluorescent signal can be found. In addition, it displays a single selectivity with excellent photostability and pH stability in the complex liquid system. Using the extracted XTH, a typical application toward the liquid spoilage process was performed and a positive correlation was noted. Given the comprehensive properties of XTH, liquid safety inspection at a molecular level with natural source-extracted products can be obtained.
