Benzaldehyde lyase from Pseudomonas fluorescens Biovar I. (BAL, EC 4.1.2.38) is a versatile catalyst for the organic synthesis of chiral α-hydroxy ketones. To allow fast assessment of enzyme activity, a direct spectrophotometric assay is desirable. Here, a new robust and easy-to-handle assay based on UV absorption is presented. The assay developed is based on the ligation of the α-hydroxy ketone (R)-2,2'-furoin from 2-furaldehyde. A robust assay with direct monitoring of the product is facilitated with a convenient concentration working range minimising experimental associated with low concentrations.

Several spectrophotometric assays, such as 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC), are commonly used to assess antioxidant activity. However, these methods often lack real-world relevance as they do not inhibit autoxidation in actual food substrates. Although direct measurement of oxygen consumption or peroxide formation during inhibited autoxidation offers certain advantages, it is labor intensive and requires specialized equipment.

Article Synopsis
- A new colorimetric method for detecting free cyanide in water uses dispersed microparticles to capture color-producing compounds combined with colorimetric reagents and an adsorbent.* -
- A mobile photography box (MPB) compatible with smartphones standardizes lighting for consistent image analysis of color changes in the particles.* -
- This method is quick (10 minutes), highly sensitive (detection limit of 0.005 mg/L), portable, and shows reduced interference from other colors compared to traditional methods.*
