- This paper describes the development and optimization of an amperometric biosensor for monitoring ethanol in beverages. The biosensor is constructed by cross-linking a quinoprotein alcohol dehydrogenase (QH-ADH) to an Os-complex-modified poly(vinylimidazole) redox polymer using poly(ethylene glycol) diglycidyl ether. The optimum biosensor configuration was evaluated by changing the ratio between enzyme, redox polymer, and cross-linker using conventional graphite rods as basis electrodes. The optimized sensor showed a sensitivity of 0.336+/-0.025 A M-1 cm(2) for ethanol and a detection limit (calculated as three times the signal-to-noise ratio) of 1 muM. This biosensor configuration was further evaluated in a conventional flow-injection system and the applicability for the determination of ethanol in diverse wine samples could be successfully demonstrated. Adaptation of this sensor configuration to screen-printed (SP) electrodes allowed their integration into an automated sequential-injection analyzer and the successful on-line monitoring of ethanol during wine fermentation processes.
