Abstract

A screen-printed sensor system consisting of a glucose oxidase (GOD) electrode and an amyloglucosidase/glucose oxidase (A/G) electrode was constructed to determine maltose and glucose simultaneously in a mixture. Sensor construction was optimised so that it contained 20 units of GOD/40 units of amyloglucosidase and 0.2 mM 1,1′-ferrocenedimethanol. These components were deposited onto a screen-printed carbon electrode and an outer membrane was printed from 3.5% hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) solution. The optimum pH was 4.8. The linear range of the system was up to 40 mM glucose or 20 mmol/L maltose with coefficients of variation (CVs) ranging from 3.5% to 5.29%. The results obtained by using the enzyme electrode system agreed well with those obtained by the Fehling titration method. When stored dry, especially at 4°C, the enzyme electrodes showed good stability over four months.
