In this research work, two tyrosinase (Tyr) biosensor based on cetyl trimethylammonium bromide funtionalized cellulose nanocrystals (CTAB-CNCs) decorated with mercaptopropionic acidcapped cadmium sulfide quantum dots (MPA-CdS QDs) and mercaptopropionic acid-capped iron oxide (MPA-Fe₃O₄) nanoparticles for determination of phenol was developed.

The same procedure was applied for the preparation of CTAB-CNCs/MPA-Fe₃O₄ nanocomposite. Next, 7 μL of Tyr were drop casted onto the surface of working electrode consisting CTAB-CNCs/MPA-QDs nanocomposite film. This modified bioelectrode was named as Tyr/CTAB-CNCs/MPA-CdS QDs/SPCE. For comparison, the bioelectrode of Tyr/CTAB-CNCs/MPA-Fe₃O₄/SPCE was also fabricated using the same protocol. In brief, CNCs was chosen as the solid support for enzyme immobilization prior to their special properties of low cytotoxicity, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and environmentally benign.

Meanwhile, the Tyr/CTAB-CNCs/MPA-Fe₃O₄ biosensor revealed a good linearity towards phenol concentration ranging from 0.010 to 0.075 μM (R2 = 0.985) with sensitivity and LOD of 32.219 μA/μM and 0.00076 μM, respectively.
