title: Application of amperometric biosensors for analysis of ethanol, glucose, and lactate in wine.
abstract: This article presents the application of amperometric biosensors based on platinum printed electrodes SensLab and immobilized enzymes, alcohol oxidase, glucose oxidase, and lactate oxidase, for wine analysis. Created devices demonstrate linear response to ethanol, glucose, and lactate within the concentration range 0.3-20 mM, 0.04-2.5 mM, and 0.008-1 mM, respectively. No decrease in ethanol and glucose biosensor activity is revealed during 2 months after fabrication, and the operational stability of the lactate biosensor is sufficient only during 4 days. Developed biosensors showed high selectivity to the substrate and are successfully applied to the analysis of such complex mixtures as wine and must. Good correlation of the results of analysis of different wines and must obtained by amperometric biosensors with immobilized oxidases and traditional methods is shown. Created biosensors can be used as a basis of a commercial device for express analysis of ethanol, glucose, and lactate in wine and must during its fermentation. Application of such devices for quality control in foodstuff industry can have great economical effect because determination by biosensors is less expensive, labor-intensive, and lengthy than traditional methods of analysis.
