Development of Biomimetic and Edible Nanozyme for the Ultrasensitive and Selective Determination of Glucose

The research activity will focus on the development and characterization of biomimetic and edible nanozymes with catalytic activity toward glucose oxidation, to be integrated into electrochemical platforms for its ultrasensitive and selective determination. In particular, nanomaterials with enzyme-like activity will be developed, also through the use of biocompatible and naturally derived components, and their integration into edible conductive formulations will be investigated. The resulting platforms will be characterized using electrochemical, morphological, and spectroscopic techniques, evaluating their main analytical figures of merit, including limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantification (LOQ), sensitivity, linear range, selectivity, and stability.
