A novel fluorescent probe 3′-hydroxy-3-oxo-3H-spiro [isobenzofuran-1,9′-xanthene]-6′-yl-2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonate (probe 1) was designed and synthesized as a visual sensor for the detection of cysteine levels in milk and water samples. The addition of cysteine to the solution of probe 1 resulted in an increase in fluorescence intensity and color change, from light yellow to yellow-green. The distinct color response indicated that probe 1 could be used as a visual sensor for cysteine. Cysteine can be detected quantitatively at concentrations between 0 and 400 μM and the detection limit of the fluorescence response to the probe was 6.5 μM. This suggests that probe 1 could be used as a signaling tool to determine the cysteine levels in samples, such as milk and water.
