Eugenol-based molecular imprinted membrane synthesis as a glucose sensor in honey

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) occurs when there is a lack of insulin in the body so that it cannot transfer glucose into cells, causing blood sugar (glucose) not to be converted into glycogen. As a result, blood glucose levels rise. Indonesia is a country that has various types of plants, one of which is cloves which contain 80–90% eugenol. Eugenol is an organic compound having three functional groups, namely allyl, hydroxy, and methoxy groups, which are very selectively used as electrode mixture materials. EMIM offers a sensor technology that is selective for glucose. EMIM is more effective and selective for glucose than ENIM. The results obtained by sensors and selectivity of EMIM in honey and honey of the archipelago are influenced by pore size, porosity, hydrophilicity, Nernst factor, detection limit, response time, and glucose selectivity using EMIM is better than ENIM.
