Mg. Loughran et al., DEVELOPMENT OF A PYRROLOQUINOLINE QUINONE (PQQ) MEDIATED GLUCOSE-OXIDASE ENZYME ELECTRODE FOR DETECTION OF GLUCOSE IN FRUIT JUICE, Electroanalysis, 8(10), 1996, pp. 870-875
The electrochemistry of pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) was examined an
d the coupling of PQQ with glucose oxidase was studied at different pH
values. Optimal interaction between PQQ and glucose oxidase was obser
ved at pH 3.5. Results from these studies enabled construction of PQQ-
glucose oxidase-modified enzyme electrodes for the detection of glucos
e in Ribena blackcurrant juice. The corresponding amperometric determi
nation of glucose was in good agreement with results obtained using co
mmercial enzymatic test kits supplied by Boehringer Mannheim and Sigma
Diagnostics.
