Galactomannan, a neutral polysaccharide, was extracted from carob seeds and characterized. It was used for the first time for the fabrication of a laccase-based biosensor by the encapsulation of laccase in a chitosan+galactomannan composite. The fabricated biosensor was characterized by FTIR, scanning electron microscopy and cyclic voltammetry. The pyrocatechol detection was obtained by cyclic voltammetry measurements, through the detection of o-quinone at -0.447 V. The laccase activity was well preserved in the chitosan+galactomannan composite and the sensitivity of detection of pyrocatechol in the 10 M-10 M range was very high. The voltammetric response of the biosensor was stable for more than two weeks. To estimate the antioxidant capacity of olive oil samples, it was shown that the obtained laccase-based biosensor is a valuable alternative to the colorimetric Folin-Ciocalteu method.

Recently a laccase-based biosensors with unprecedented reuse and storage capabilities in the detection of catechol compound has been manufactured using ambient Electrospray Deposition (ESD) technique. These biosensors showed to be reused up to 63 measurements on the same electrode just prepared at room temperature and pressure. In this new work the reasons behind such a high-performance functioning have been investigated by analysing the commercial sample of laccase with different chemical physics methods: Electrophoresis, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, X-ray Fluorescence and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy.

Self-powered biosensors with high sensitivity have garnered significant interest for their potential applications in the realm of portable sensing. Herein, a self-powered biosensor with a novel signal amplification strategy was developed by integrating target-controlled release of mediator with an enzyme biofuel cell for the ultrasensitive detection of acetamiprid (ACE). Zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 was utilized as both a nanocontainer for capturing the electron mediator 2,2'-azidobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS), and a precursor for the synthesis of cobalt nanoparticles/nitrogen, sulfur-codoped carbon nanotubes (Co NPs/NS-CNTs), which were employed as the electrode material for constructing both the glucose oxidase-based bioanode and the laccase-based biocathode.

Phenols and phenolic compounds are major plant metabolites used in industries to produce pesticides, dyes, medicines, and plastics. These compounds enter water bodies, soil, and living organisms via such industrial routes. Some polyphenolic compounds like phenolic acids, flavonoids have antioxidant and organoleptic qualities, as well as preventive effects against neurodegenerative illnesses, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer.

This work describes a new electrochemical biosensor for the simultaneous determination of catechol and hydroquinone. A laccase biorecognition layer was deposited using an innovative soft plasma polymerization technique onto a multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)-modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) to sufficiently separate catechol (CT) and hydroquinone (HQ) oxidation peaks. The electrochemical analysis carried out for MWCNTs with various morphologies was supported by density functional theory (DFT) calculations showing differences in the electronic structures of both dihydroxybenzene isomers and the MWCNTs forming the biosensor interlayer.
