Abstract
An amperometric sensor for L-ascorbic acid(AA) in methanol media has been made by immobilizing squash-tissues on a graphite rod disk. A detection limit of the electrode was <TEX>$2{\times}10^{-6}M$</TEX> L-ascorbic acid. In comparison with an isolated enzyme based ascorbate oxidase(AO) electrode, the plant-tissue electrode offered high biocatalytic stability and activity and extremely low cost. The electrode has a useful lifetime of 1 week.
