Highly Sensitive Electrochemical Sensor for Sunset Yellow Based on Electrochemically Activated Glassy Carbon Electrode
Abstract
Electrochemically activated glassy carbon electrode (AGCE) was fabricated and applied for sensitive and selective detection of sunset yellow (SY). The electroanalysis of SY was investigated by square wave voltammetry (SWV). Owed to the specific oxygen-contained functional groups and the outstanding conductivity of AGCE, the proposed sensor exhibits an enhanced oxidation peak current of SY when compared with non-activated glass carbon electrode (GCE). Under the optimal analytical conditions, the oxidation peak current is linear with SY concentration in the range of 0.005-1.0 μM. The low limit of detection is 0.00167 μM (S/N = 3). This method is applied for the detection of SY in the actual samples. The recovery is between 96.19 and 103.47%, indicating that AGCE is suitable for the determination of SY in beverage sample.
