Carbon Nanoparticle Spectrophotometric Determination of Glucose

Abstract

In the presence of NaOH, glucose hydrolyze and polymerize to generate yellow carbon nanoparticles that had an absorption peak at 336 nm. Under the selected conditions, result showed the concentration of glucose have a good linear relationship between absorbance value and glucose concentration in the range of 0.0005-0.060 mol/L. This method has been used for the assay of glucose injection sample, with simplicity, rapidity, and accuracy.
