Abstract (EN): <jats:p>Over the years, the food industry¿s concern to provide safe food that does not cause harm or illness to consumers has increased. The growing demand for the detection of compounds that can contaminate food is increasingly important. Hydrogen peroxide is frequently used as a substance to control the growth of microorganisms in milk, thus increasing its shelf life. Here, a strategy is presented for the detection of hydrogen peroxide as a milk adulterant, using a single shot membrane sensor. The lowest concentration measured with this technique was 0.002% w/w of H2O2 in semi-fat milk.</jats:p>
