Area of Science:

  • Electrochemistry
  • Materials Science
  • Biosensors

Background:

  • Fish freshness is crucial for food safety and economic value.
  • Accurate and rapid detection methods for fish spoilage are needed.
  • Xanthine is a reliable biomarker for assessing fish freshness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an electrochemical biosensor for fish freshness detection.
  • To utilize a manganese oxide (Mn3O4) and chitosan (Cn) nanocomposite for enhanced sensor performance.
  • To investigate the electrochemical properties and detection capabilities of the fabricated biosensor.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of Mn3O4-Cn nanocomposite using electrophoretic deposition on an indium tin oxide (ITO) substrate.
  • Characterization of the nanocomposite morphology and structure using HRTEM, XRD, and SEM.
  • Electrochemical measurements to determine xanthine detection range, sensitivity, and affinity.

Main Results:

  • The Mn3O4-Cn nanocomposite exhibited a unique pearl-shaped morphology.
  • The biosensor demonstrated a wide detection range for xanthine (1–500 µM).
  • High sensitivity (1.46 μA µM⁻¹ cm⁻²) and a low limit of detection (1.31 µM) were achieved, with a low Km value (0.018 µM) indicating superior affinity.

Conclusions:

  • The developed XOx/Mn3O4-Cn/ITO biosensor is effective for detecting fish freshness.
  • The Mn3O4-Cn nanocomposite enhances the electrochemical performance of the biosensor.
  • This biosensor shows significant potential for rapid and sensitive fish spoilage assessment.
