  • The study presents a new electrochemical method using DPPH free radical to evaluate the antiradical properties of different olive oils.
  • Differential pulse voltammetry was employed to measure changes in the current at a platinum electrode, specifically observing the peak current at +160 mV.
  • The results showed good correlation with traditional high-performance liquid chromatography, indicating that this new method is a quick and practical alternative for assessing olive oil's antioxidant capabilities.

Article Abstract

The present work describes the development of an electrochemical method based on the use of 2,2'-diphenyl-1-picrylhidrazyl free radical (DPPH) for the determination of the antiradical properties of several olive oils. Differential pulse voltammetry was used as measuring technique while the electrochemical process was recorded at a platinum screen-printed working electrode. The decrease in 2,2'-diphenyl-1-picrylhidrazyl peak current intensity was measured at a specific potential value of +160 mV vs. screen-printed pseudo-reference electrode, in the presence of α-, δ- and γ-tocopherol and olive oil samples, respectively. The obtained results using differential pulse voltammetry, as detection technique for real samples analysis, showed a satisfactory agreement with those obtained by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with fluorescence detection. The reported electrochemical method is rapid and easy to use, feasible and accessible to be used as an alternative to 2,2'-diphenyl-1-picrylhidrazyl spectrophotometric based method.

To enhance the application performance of graphdiyne (GDY) in electrochemical sensing, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were grown in situ to construct three-dimensional nanoarchitectures of GDY-CNTs composites. GDY-CNTs showed superior electrochemical properties and detection response to MP when compared with GDY, as the in situ growth of CNTs significantly increased the electrode surface area and enhanced the electron transfer process. GDY-CNTs were successfully used to construct electrochemical sensors for methyl parathion (MP).

Improper management of wood impregnation chemicals and treated wood has led to soil contamination at many wood treatment sites, particularly with toxic substances like creosote oil and chromated copper arsenate (CCA). The simultaneous presence of these pollutants complicates the choice of soil remediation technologies, especially if they are to be applied in situ. In this laboratory study, we attempted to immobilise arsenic (As) and simultaneously degrade polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) (constituents of creosote oil) by applying a modified electrochemical oxidation method.

A novel electrochemical aptasensor based on bimetallic zirconium and copper oxides embedded within mesoporous carbon (denoted as ZrOCuO@mC) was constructed to detect miRNA. The porous ZrOCuO@mC was created through the pyrolysis of bimetallic zirconium/copper-based metal-organic framework (ZrCu-MOF). The substantial surface area and high porosity of ZrOCuO@mC nanocomposite along with its robust affinity toward aptamer strands, facilitated the effective anchoring of aptamer strands on the ZrOCuO@mC-modified electrode surface.
