Enzymatic determination of ethanol in saliva by flow injection analysis.
Enzymatic photometric and fluorimetric methods are proposed for the determination of ethanol in saliva with determinative ranges of 2.5-15.0 mug ml(-1) and 1.0-20.0 mug ml(-1) respectively, i.e. covering the legal ranges after 1 : 100 dilution. A comparison between the ethanol content in saliva, breath and blood has been carried out on 12 individuals; the determination in saliva has been shown to be a good option.
