MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641048085 A) filed by Nitte, Mangaluru, Karnataka, on April 15, for 'nanocomposite-modified electrochemical sensor for the detection of nitrate ions using rutin biomolecule.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Ramesh Bhat; and Bindu A G.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Disclosed herein is a nanocomposite composition (200) for electrochemical detection of nitrate ions, comprising rutin biomolecule (202) as a redox-active recognition element (106), a metal oxide nanoparticle (204) as a nanocomposite material (102), a carbon-based nanomaterial (206) as a supporting matrix (104), a modified electrode substrate (208) as an electrode substrate (108), and a buffered aqueous electrolyte (210) as an electrolyte medium (110) to support the redox behaviour of rutin biomolecule (202) during nitrate detection. Also disclosed is a device (300) comprising a working electrode (302) modified with the nanocomposite composition (200), a counter electrode (304), and a reference electrode (306), and a method (400) comprising preparing a nanocomposite by combustion of metal oxide precursors with a fuel, functionalizing with rutin biomolecule (202), modifying a working electrode (302), and detecting nitrate ions using voltammetric techniques."
