Smartphone-Based Electrochemical Biosensor for On-Site Nutritional Quality Assessment of Coffee Blends.

This work aimed to develop an easy-to-use smartphone-based electrochemical biosensor to quickly assess a coffee blend's total polyphenols (Phs) content at the industrial and individual levels. The device is based on a commercial carbon-based screen-printed electrode (SPE) modified with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and gold nanoparticles (GNPs). At the same time, the biological recognition element, Laccase from , Lac, was immobilized on the sensor surface by using glutaraldehyde (GA) as a cross-linking agent.
