The antioxidant action of vitamins during the electrodegradation of Brown HT additive

Abstract

The electrochemical behavior of the Brown HT dye is studied by two electrochemical methods; cyclic voltammetry and electrolysis at constant current density, in association with UV-Vis spectrophotometric analysis. The study highlights the antioxidant role of vitamin A-palmitate, vitamin C and vitamin E-acetate on the electrochemical degradation processes of Brown HT dye. The study shows that all three vitamins have a retarding effect on the electrochemical degradation of Brown HT dye, and among these the most pronounced is that of vitamin C.
