Thread-Based Bienzymatic Biosensor for Linoleic Acid Detection.

ABSTRACT: The concentration of nonesterified fatty acids (NEFAs) in biological media is associated with metabolic and cardiovascular disorders (e.g., diabetes, cancer, and cystic fibrosis) and in food products is indicative of their quality. Therefore, the early identification of NEFAs is crucial for both medical diagnosis and food quality assessment. However, the development of a portable and scalable sensor capable of detecting these compounds at a low cost presents challenges due to their considerable chemical and physical stability. This research endeavors to illustrate the viability of detecting linoleic acid using a chemiresistive bienzymatic sensor constructed with cotton thread. The sensor's design incorporates the conductive polymer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrenesulfonate (PED
