Abstract

A composite electrode was prepared by modifying glassy carbon microparticles with gold nanoparticles (Au-nps) and xanthine oxidase enzyme (XOD) for xanthine (X) and hypoxanthine (Hx) detection. After the optimization of the system for X, the biosensor was characterized for X and Hx. A linearity was obtained in the concentration range between 5.00 × 10−7 and 1.00 × 10−5 M for X with equation of y = 0.24x + 0.712 and 5.00 × 10−6 to 1.50 × 10−4 M for Hx, with equation of y = 0.014x + 0.575, respectively. Obtained results were compared to X and/or Hx biosensors including/not including Au-np in the structure. The developed system was also applied for detection of Hx in canned tuna fish sample and very promising results were obtained.
