Abstrakt: Enzyme-based electrochemical biosensors have been widely deployed for the detection of a range of contaminants in different food products due to their significant advantages over other (bio)sensing techniques. Nevertheless, their performance is greatly affected by the sample matrix itself or by the matrix they are presented with in pretreated samples, both of which can impact the accuracy as well as the sensitivity of the measurements. Therefore, and in order to acquire reliable and accurate measurements, matrix effects and their influence on sensor performance should be taken into consideration. Herein, acetylcholinesterase (AChE)-modified electrochemical sensors were employed for the detection of pesticides in vegetable oils. Sensor interrogation with pretreated oil samples, spiked with carbofuran, revealed the inhibitory potential of the extracted matrix varies between different types of vegetable oil and their fatty acid content. In addition, synergies between the extracted matrix from different types of vegetable oils and the carbamate pesticide, carbofuran, were observed, which led to significant deviations of the sensor's performance from its anticipated behavior in buffered solution. Taking the aforementioned into consideration, appropriate calibration curves for each type of vegetable oil were drafted, which allowed for the highly reproducible determination of different pesticide concentrations in pretreated real samples. Collectively, a better understanding of AChE inhibition by single or multiple contaminants present in vegetable oils was gained, which can find many applications in numerous fields, ranging from sensor development to the design of new pesticides and medicinal products.
