Abstract

The application of the intrinsic fluorescence of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) for the simultaneous determination of propanol and butanol was investigated by using only one kinetic run. An absolute calibration method (based on a mathematical model derived from the enzymatic reaction) and a multivariate calibration method (partial least squares regression, PLSR) were tested for this purpose. Both methods were applied to synthetic samples of both alcohols with good results.
