Simultaneous determination of glucose, ethanol and lactate in alcoholic beverages and serum by amperometric flow injection analysis with immobilized enzyme reactors.
Glucose, ethanol and lactate were determined simultaneously in a flow injection system by using a parallel configuration of immobilized enzyme reactors. Hydrogen peroxide produced was monitored amperometrically at the potential of +0.65 V vs. Ag/AgCl. Linear relations between sensor responses and each species were observed in the ranges of 0.02-10 mM (glucose), 5 x 10(-4)-0.1% (v/v) (ethanol) and 0.005-1 mM (lactate) with correlation coefficients larger than 0.999 for each species. The relative standard deviations for 10 successive injections were 1.4, 0.5 and 1.1% for glucose (1 mM), ethanol (5 x 10(-3)% (v/v] and lactate (0.05 mM), respectively. Analysis of serum samples was performed with urate-eliminating reactors which were set just before each immobilized enzyme reactor. Interference of ascorbate in a serum sample was completely eliminated by using an ascorbate-eliminating reactor which was set before the sample injection valve. Application of the system to alcoholic beverages and control serum was described and the results were compared with those of free enzymatic, spectrophotometric analysis (F-kit or C-test method).
