Description

Microfluidic carbohydrate metabolism analysis detection device and method
Technical Field
The application relates to the field of biosensors, in particular to a microfluidic carbohydrate metabolism analysis detection device and a microfluidic carbohydrate metabolism analysis detection method.
Background
The taste sense is a sense produced by the stimulation of the taste organochemical sensing system by food in the mouth of a person and includes four basic tastes of sweet, sour, bitter and salty. The various tastes that people commonly taste are the result of a mix of these four tastes. The taste receptor is taste bud on tongue, which is oval and mainly composed of taste cells and supporting cells, wherein microvilli are arranged on top of taste cells and extend towards the direction of taste pores, and are contacted with saliva, and nerve fibers are arranged on the cell base. The chemicals in the food dissolve in saliva, contacting the taste receptor cells through the taste pores, where they interact with taste receptors or ion channels. These interactions trigger a signaling cascade within the cell, inducing action potentials in the cell, and electrical signals are ultimately transmitted through nerve fibers to the brain, forming a taste sensation. There are many taste sensing molecules on the surface of taste cells, and different substances can bind to different taste sensing molecules to present different tastes. The human taste only needs 1.5-4.0ms from the stimulation of food to the feeling of taste, which is faster than the visual sense of 13-45ms, the hearing of 1.27-21.5ms and the touch of 2.4-8.9 ms. In the past, the taste analysis is mainly judged by adopting an artificial taste analysis method, has high subjectivity, and is difficult to accurately analyze and evaluate the taste brought by food. Therefore, the on-site, rapid and real-time detection can be realized through the taste sensor, and the sensor has important significance for the food field. In particular, it is necessary to achieve dynamic detection in feeding-induced flow conditions.
Sugar is an important flavoring agent and is classified into high-calorie sweeteners and low-calorie sweeteners according to the calories contained therein. The high calorie sweetener comprises natural sweetener such as sucrose and Mel, and has high calorie, and can easily cause obesity and even diabetes after long-term excessive consumption. Low-calorie sweetener is a substance having a sweet taste, low heat generation and low nutritive value, and is generally used for controlling blood sugar elevation, preventing obesity, controlling weight and preventing cardiovascular diseases, and also used as a sugar substitute for diabetics. Lactic acid bacteria in the oral cavity of humans and other mammals react with trace sugar in food to produce organic acids, including lactic acid, acetic acid (ethanol) and other products, which impart specific tastes to different sugars. The metabolic characteristics of the lactobacillus on different saccharides are accurately analyzed through the biosensor, and the method has great significance for preparing the sweetener which is low in calories and has the taste approaching to sucrose in the food field.
