A potentiometric sweetness sensor for sugars using lipid/polymer membranes containing boronic acid
A novel potentiometric sweetness sensor was developed using a lipid/polymer membrane incorporating 3-nitrophenylboronic acid (3NPBA). Although sugars are non-ionic, the sensor exhibited positive potential responses to various sugars under mildly acidic conditions (pH 5.8). Regression analysis revealed that the sensor response is governed by a combination of three key factors: (1) the binding of boronic acid to cis-diol groups of sugars, (2) the formation of complexes between sugars and hydrated potassium ions, and (3) the proximity of sugar molecules to the membrane surface. The sensor exhibited strong concentration-dependent response for carbohydrate-based sweeteners such as fructose, lactose, and maltitol in the range of 1–1000 mM, as well as for stevioside in the range of 0.01–10 mM, demonstrating good sensitivity. Additionally, under pH-controlled conditions, the sensor demonstrated good selectivity for sweetness, making it a promising tool for taste analysis in food, pharmaceutical, and functional product applications.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Food Composition and Analysis publishes manuscripts on scientific aspects of data on the chemical composition of human foods, with particular emphasis on actual data on composition of foods; analytical methods; studies on the manipulation, storage, distribution and use of food composition data; and studies on the statistics, use and distribution of such data and data systems. The Journal''s basis is nutrient composition, with increasing emphasis on bioactive non-nutrient and anti-nutrient components. Papers must provide sufficient description of the food samples, analytical methods, quality control procedures and statistical treatments of the data to permit the end users of the food composition data to evaluate the appropriateness of such data in their projects.
The Journal does not publish papers on: microbiological compounds; sensory quality; aromatics/volatiles in food and wine; essential oils; organoleptic characteristics of food; physical properties; or clinical papers and pharmacology-related papers.
