โฆ Synopsis
A mitochondria based amperometric biosensor was developed for the determination of L-glutamic acid. The biosensor was characterized using hexacyanoferrate(III) as the electrochemical mediator. The electrochemical behavior of the redox couple hexacyanoferrate(II)a(III) was improved by incorporating octadecylamine into the enzyme modiยฎed carbon paste. L-Glutamic acid was detected at 0.35 V. Linearity was observed in the range 0.4ยฑ10 mM of L-glutamic acid (sensitivity 0.189 mAamM, correlation coefยฎcient 0.997) and in the range 10ยฑ 100 mM (sensitivity 0.021 mAamM, correlation coefยฎcient 0.958). The detection limit was 0.1 mM. The electrode maintains 60 % of its activity after 10 days of use. The bioelectrode was used for the determination of L-glutamate in chicken cube samples.
