Viknasvarri Ayerdurai, Maciej Cieplak, Marianna Gajda, Agnieszka Ziminska, Francis D'Souza, Włodzimierz Kutner
- Advantages / Innovative aspects:
- High analytical and functional parameters of the chemosensor, i.e., a determination of tyramine in micromolar concentration range and a high selectivity with respect to interfering substances.
- Elaboration of self-reporting polymer that enables performing determinations without addition of redox probe to examined samples.
- Keywords:
Molecularly imprinted polymer, conductive polymers, tyramine, food toxins, self-reporting polymer
- Field:
- Usage:
Chemosensor for selective tyramine determination can be applied in food quality control protocols. Moreover, patients threated with MAO inhibitors and anti-depressive drugs should avoid tyramine uptake. It may cause harmful malignant hypertension. It is so called “cheese effect”.
