Abstract
In this study, a simple and rapid analytical method development for ascorbic acid (AA) determination in food samples by using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) method on ZnO/CNTs nanocomposite ionic liquid modified carbon paste electrode. For this, several parameters, such as ZnO/CNTs nanocomposite, ionic liquid ratio, and pH, have been studied. The cyclic voltammogram showed an irreversible oxidation peak at 0.61 V (vs. Ag/AgClsat), which corresponded to the oxidation of AA. Compared to common carbon paste electrode, the electrochemical response was greatly improved. Under the optimized conditions, the oxidation peak current of AA showed linear dynamic range 0.1–450 μmol l−1 with a detection limit of 0.07 μmol l−1, using the DPV method. The proposed sensor was successfully applied to the determination of AA in fresh vegetable juice, fruit juices and food supplement samples without previous preparation and was compared with a published electrochemical method.
