The objective of the research is to study the electrical characteristics of ECNF in variousconditions (AC and DC). All five dry ECNF samples are found to be ohmic and exhibit linearbehavior within the range -2.226 V to 2.992 V and the operating frequency is within the range of13 Hz to 850 KHz. As the ECNF samples’ length increase and their cross-sectional area remainconstant, it is predicted that their resistance increases and thus lower their output current. Databeyond this range behaved in a nonlinear manner. In addition, this study shows that ECNF doesallow glucose to be detected. Its lower cost makes it a more economical choice over
