MSG has been linked to neurotoxic effects, metabolic disorders, headache, numbness and palpitation. In this work, an amperometric L-glutamate biosensor based on photocurable poly(2-hydroxylethyl methacrylate)-containing ferrocene film for the determination of L-glutamate in food samples is described. The sensor is fabricated based on simultaneous immobilization of both L-glutamate oxidase and ferrocene as a mediator during the deposition of poly(2-hydroxylethyl methacrylate) film via photocuring. Ferrocene was used to shuttle the electrons directly between the reduced enzyme and the electrode. From electrochemical studies, a linear response towards L-glutamate in the concentration range of 10-30 mM was obtained at applied potential of +0.25 V with the detection limit of 7.7 mM. The storage stability of the biosensor is up to 4 months under storage condition of 4 oC in refrigerator. The performance of the biosensor was applied to the determination of L-glutamate in food stocks from local supermarkets. Results from amperometric L-glutamate biosensor were further validated with HPLC method.en-USphotocurable, methacrylate polymers, ferrocene, L-glutamate biosensorArticle12601273266
