AI Article Synopsis

  • A novel electrochemical sensing method was created using a special poly(chromotrope fb)-modified pencil graphite electrode to detect quercetin in fruits and vegetables.
  • The method measures the oxidation signal of quercetin at 118 mV and can detect concentrations as low as 1.9 nM, with a measurable range of 0.01-1.2 μM.
  • The quercetin levels in various foods were analyzed using both the new method and traditional UV-visible spectroscopy, showing no significant differences in results at a 95% confidence level.

Article Abstract

A novel signal-enhanced electrochemical sensing strategy was constructed for quercetin determination with a peculiarly developed poly(chromotrope fb)-modified activated pencil graphite electrode in vegetables and fruits. The oxidation signal of quercetin at 118 mV in an alcoholic solution served as the analytical response. The produced platform, characterized by cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, could detect 1.9 nM of quercetin in the range of 0.01-1.2 μM. The extracted quercetin contents of red onion, red cabbage, cranberry, black mulberry, black raisin, and carob were determined by both the developed method and UV-visible spectroscopy. The results were statistically evaluated at the 95% confidence level, and no significant difference between the results was found.
