Abstract
A sensitive scheme was established for the detection of vitamin C (Ascorbic acid) and vitamin B1 (Thiamin HCl) using Maltol capped AgNPs (McAgNPs) as colorimetric sensor. The designed scheme showed an instant alteration in color from yellow to orange and green for vitamin-C and vitamin B1 sequentially. The probe was sensitive in a concentration range of (0-1µM) with limit of detection 0.064 and 0.038µM for vitamin C and vitamin B1 sequentially. The interaction mechanism between vitamin C and vitamin B1 and McAgNPs was evaluated by visible spectroscopy, FTIR, and AFM. Vitamin C attaches on the surface of nanoparticles by C=O group, while OH, C-S-C, and NH2 groups are involved in the binding of vitamin B1 with McAgNPs. The Vit-C/Vit-B1-McAgNPs complexes were stable over a wide range of pHs. The size of McAgNPs increased after the interaction of vitamin C/vitamin B1 from 30-40nm to 500 and 400nm sequentially. The scheme was successfully applied for the detection of vitamin C and vitamin B1 in urine, plasma, water, and commercial pharmaceutical tablets with good recoveries. The scheme was ascertained to be more sensitive than many other formerly described schemes.
