A novel amperometric biosensor was developed using caffeine-degrading bacteria for rapid and specific caffeine detection in solutions. This method offers a promising alternative for analyzing caffeine content in commercial products.

Area of Science:

  • Biotechnology
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Microbiology

Background:

  • Caffeine detection is crucial in food and clinical chemistry.
  • Existing caffeine biosensing methods have limitations for commercial applications.
  • Development of new, effective caffeine detection methods is ongoing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a rapid and specific amperometric biosensor for caffeine determination.
  • To utilize whole cells of Pseudomonas alcaligenes MTCC 5264 for caffeine degradation.
  • To establish a novel selection and immobilization strategy for caffeine-degrading bacteria.

Main Methods:

  • Immobilization of Pseudomonas alcaligenes MTCC 5264 on a cellophane membrane using glutaraldehyde and gelatin.
  • Development of an amperometric biosensor for caffeine detection.

  • Utilizing a novel selection strategy for isolating and inducing caffeine-degrading bacteria.

    • Main Results:

    • The biosensor detected caffeine in a concentration range of 0.1 to 1 mg mL(-1) with a 3-minute read-time.
    • The biosensor demonstrated high specificity for caffeine, with negligible response to interfering compounds.
    • Optimal measurement conditions were pH 6.8 and 30°C.
    • Caffeine content in commercial tea and coffee samples correlated well with HPLC analysis.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed amperometric biosensor provides a rapid, specific, and reliable method for caffeine determination.
    • The novel bacterial selection and immobilization strategy is effective for biosensor development.
    • This biosensor shows potential for analyzing caffeine in commercial food and beverage samples.
