Development of an Amperometric-Based Glucose Biosensor to Measure the Glucose Content of Fruit

Abstract

An amperometric enzyme-electrode was introduced where glucose oxidase (GOD) was immobilized on chitosan membrane via crosslinking, and then fastened on a platinum working electrode. The immobilized enzyme showed relatively high retention activity. The activity of the immobilized enzyme was influenced by its loading, being suppressed when more than 0.6 mg enzyme was used in the immobilization. The biosensor showing the highest response to glucose utilized 0.21 ml/cm2 thick chitosan membrane. The optimum experimental conditions for the biosensors in analysing glucose dissolved in 0.1 M phosphate buffer (pH 6.0) were found to be 35°C and 0.6 V applied potential. The introduced biosensor reached a steady-state current at 60 s. The apparent Michaelis-Menten constant () of the biosensor was 14.2350 mM, and its detection limit was 0.05 mM at s/n > 3, determined experimentally. The RSD of repeatability and reproducibility of the biosensor were 2.30% and 3.70%, respectively. The biosensor was showed good stability; it retained ~36% of initial activity after two months of investigation. The performance of the biosensors was evaluated by determining the glucose content in fruit homogenates. Their accuracy was compared to that of a commercial glucose assay kit. There was no significance different between two methods, indicating the introduced biosensor is reliable.

Mucin and carbon nanotube-based biosensor for detection of glucose in human plasma

“…Moreover, it not only can be reused, but it also has high storage stability when compared to others [22], [25], [26], [28, [29], [34]. of AA on the biosensor selectivity was comparable to those reported for other similar glucose biosensors (5%) [25].…”

Application of N,N’‐Bis(acetylacetonato)propylenediimine Copper(II) Complex as Mediator for Glucose Biosensor

“…The stability of the biosensor was investigated during the 24 days (biosensor was kept at 4 °C between measurements), by measuring the 5 mM glucose standard. The biosensor Cu(acac 2 pn)/GOx/CPE retained 50% of his initial activity over a period of 14 days . There is a possibility that during the application of biosensors, a partial leakage of the enzyme into the buffer solution, resulting in a slow diffusion of fresh amount of enzyme to the electrode surface, which can be responsible for such as stability of this biosensor …”

Application of Semipermeable Membranes in Glucose Biosensing

“…The sensor exhibited a linear dynamic range from 1 µM to 1 mM with a detection limit of 0.2 µM at SNR of 3 and a sensitivity of 0.031 mA/mM·cm 2 . Ang et al recently developed a glucose biosensor and characterized it in a fruit [65]. The glucose biosensor was constructed from a Pt electrode modified with glucose oxidase immobilized in a chitosan membrane.…”
