| Summary: | High concentration of biogenic amines (BA) is an indicator of deterioration of food and the determination of their concentration is an important method of food control. The hydrogen peroxide (H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>) is a side product of the degradation of BAs by certain enzymes. It is presented an experimental technique grounded on chemiluminescence to measure small quantities of H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> with concentrations as low as 0.01%w/w up to 0.08%w/w. Luminol and cobalt hydroxide are added to hydroxyethyl cellulose to obtain an active membrane which will react with the sampling solution and the amount of total light emission is directly related to the H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> concentration. |
