In this study, utilization of MnO(2)nanoparticles decorated carbon nanofibers (CNF-MnO2) and poly(methylene green) (PMG) to create a bienzymatic biosensor for choline determination is described. Choline oxidase (ChOx) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) were co-immobilized onto the CNF-MnO2/PMG/SPCE by glutaraldehyde crosslinking. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were employed to investigate the morphology and electrochemical behavior of the modified electrodes. Upon optimized conditions, ChOx-HRP/CNF-MnO2/PMG/SPCE had a wide working range of 4.0x10(-6)-9.0x10(-3) M with a sensitivity of 2.44 mu A mM(-1)and detection limit of 8.1x10(-7) M. The proposed biosensor exhibits high repeatability (RSD 2.7 %) and retained 97 % of its initial activity after stored 15 days at +4 degrees C. The applicability of the biosensor in infant formula was demonstrated.
