Ester flavorants detection in foods with a bienzymatic biosensor based on a stable Prussian blue-copper electrodeposited on carbon paper electrode
2019
Abstract A stable and reproducible layer of Prussian blue (PB) modified with copper was electrodeposited on carbon paper electrodes for the multiple detection of ester flavorants with a bienzymatic biosensor. Carbon fiber composite paper was investigated as high-surface, low-cost substrate for biosensor development. The pre-activation of the electrode surface by cyclic voltammetry was necessary to improve the electrochemical properties before the electrochemical deposition of Prussian blue-copper film (PB-Cu). The stability and the reproducibility of the obtained PB-Cu carbon paper electrode was demonstrated at pH 7.4, optimum for biosensor development. The developed biosensor is based on the immobilization of two enzymes (carboxyl esterase and alcohol oxidase) by cross-linking with glutaraldehyde onto PB-Cu carbon paper electrode. A mixture of key aroma ester compounds (methyl butyrate, ethyl butyrate, methyl cinnamate and ethyl cinnamate) was detected in several food samples with low interferences.
