A detailed attribution analysis by density functional theory （DFT） was used to guide specific experiments. The Raman signals were obtained from a silver colloid （Ag col） substrate, and they increased in the presence of the mineral salt, potassium iodide （KI）. These methods detected sildenafil in aqueous solutions as low as 1 μg/mL with high signal uniformity （RSD=3.77%）. Prior to this study, traditional Raman techniques detected substances in solid samples only. Here, Raman technology detected low contents of sildenaful drugs in liquid nutraceuticals.
