Summary An electrochemical method for the specific determination of citric acid in sports drink and plaster using citrate lyase and oxaloacetate decarboxylase has been studied. The technique is reasonably rapid and simple to perform. Results from recovery experiments are excellent, i.e. recovery is 99.7±3.0% at a confidence limit of 95% (n=3), and reproducibility (R.S.D.) at 20 μmol/l citric acid is 1.46% (n=3). The method can possibly be used for monitoring citric acid in clinical and food-processing samples.
