Glucose is the most abundantly found biomolecule and is a building
block of many important biopolymers including starch and cellulose.
Glucose is the source of quickly available energy in humans. Due to its
diverse roles in biological systems the analysis of glucose is very important.
Its analysis may help in the diagnosis of diseases, control of the
physiological functions of the brain, muscles, drug delivery and formulations
[1–7]. Glucose is determined by exploiting its reaction with
copper II in terms of the mass of copper I oxide [21]. Glucose is also
determined by its ability to reduce ferricyanide to ferrocyanide and
allowing the reduced Fe2+ to react with [tripyridyl-s-triazine (TPTZ)]
to give an intensely colored Fe (TPTZ) complex [8]. The method has
been tested on model carbohydrates and other compounds, and also
on
