Area of Science:

  • Electrochemistry
  • Biosensor Technology
  • Food Science

Background:

  • l-glutamate (l-Glu) is a key flavor enhancer in food products.
  • Accurate quantification of l-Glu is essential for food quality control.
  • Existing detection methods may lack sensitivity or specificity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel and sensitive biosensor for l-glutamate detection in beef.
  • To characterize the performance of the developed l-glutamate biosensor.
  • To compare l-glutamate levels in raw and cooked beef.

Main Methods:

  • Surface modification of a gold electrode with gold nanoparticles (Au NPs), graphene oxide (GO), and chitosan (CS).
  • Immobilization of l-glutamate oxidase (GluOx) onto the modified electrode.
  • Characterization using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electrochemical measurements.
  • Validation against amino acid analyzer results.

Main Results:

  • The developed biosensor demonstrated optimal performance at pH 7.5 and 30°C.
  • Detection range: 0.2-1.4 mM with a detection limit of 0.023 mM.
  • High accuracy (R²=0.996), selectivity, repeatability, and stability were achieved.
  • Higher l-Glu content was detected in cooked beef compared to raw beef.

Conclusions:

  • The Au NPs/GO/CS/GluOx biosensor is a reliable tool for l-glutamate quantification in beef.
  • The biosensor exhibits excellent analytical performance characteristics.
  • Findings suggest cooking influences l-glutamate levels in beef.
