Determination of Trolox Equivalent Antioxidant Capacity in Berries Using Amperometric Tyrosinase Biosensor Based on Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes

In this contribution, Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) was determined in various berries using carbon paste tyrosinase biosensor with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), coated with Nafion<sup>®</sup> layer. Electrochemical behaviour of the biosensor and influence of MWC...
