Descripción
Sumario:In this paper the development of a potentiometric biosen-sor based on the use of the enzyme lipase immobilized in a Nafion membrane on a graphite-epoxy transducer is reported. This device has been used to quantify triglycerides in food samples from the aque-ous extracts obtained by emulsion with Arabic gum. The proposed methodology does not present significant differences with the spec-trophotometric determination used as contrast. This work constitutes the first report of a potentiometric biosensor based on the detection of changes of pH using a graphite-epoxy composite transducer and the first potentiometric triglyceride biosensor which is not based in ISFET transducers. The methodology designed is a simple and inexpensive alternative that minimizes the use of organic solvents without affecting the precision and accuracy of the analysis in complex food samples such as butter, chips and pastries.
