Abstract
The glucose oxidase-horseradish peroxidase coupled reaction using phenol and 4-aminoantipyrine is used for the kinetic determination of glucose in drinks and beverages. This laboratory experiment demonstrates the implementation of reaction rate kinetic methods of analysis, the use of enzymes as selective analytical reagents for the determination of substrates, the kinetic masking of ascorbic acid interference, and the analysis of glucose in drinks and beverages. The method is optimized for student use in the temperature range of 18-28 °C and can be used in low-budget laboratories equipped with an inexpensive visible photometer. The mixed enzyme-chromogen solution that is used is stable for two months. Precision ranged from 5.1 to 12% RSD for analyses conducted during a period of two months by 48 students.

Matthew Cuber and J. N. Demas , William D. Bare and Chi V. PhamJournal of Chemical Education2007 84 (9), 1511An Improved Method for Studying the Enzyme-Catalyzed Oxidation of Glucose Using Luminescent Probes
Matthew Cuber and J. N. Demas , William D. Bare and Chi V. PhamJournal of Chemical Education2007 84 (9), 1511A new method is presented for measuring the rate of the oxidation of glucose in the presence of glucose oxidase. The improved method employs luminescence measurements to directly determine the concentration of oxygen in real time, thus obviating ...
