RESUMO

Phenolic compounds are important environmental contaminants due to their high toxicity and persistence in the environment. The use of enzyme-based electrochemical biosensors is a simple, sensitive and low-cost alternative for the determination of these pollutants in contaminated waters. However, in most cases, it is impossible to detect specific compounds in a mixture of phenols due to signal-overlap, as the instruments operate at very close potentials, given that the system is based on a single enzyme to detect similar structures. In order to overcome this problem, in the present work we have successfully used multivariate calibration with partial least squares (PLS) for the simultaneous determination of hydroquinone and guaiacol by a tyrosinase-based biosensor that was assembled using an enzyme extract from yam. The use of PLS allowed us to work with a large number of voltammograms, leading to a single mathematical model for the simultaneous determination of phenols of similar structure in real samples with concentration values of mmol L-1.
