Biotechnology Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Tissue slices from sugar beet (Beta vulgaris altissima) containing high tyrosinase activity were coupled to an amperometric oxygen electrode. The resulting plant tissue-based sensor was applied to determine tyrosine in the range between 30 and 900 μmol/l. The response of the sensor to various phenolic compounds was tested.
