Abstract
Caffeic acid contributes to the flavor and aroma of coffee. Monitoring its levels can be important to guarantee the quality of the coffee produced. An innovative electrochemical sensor for the determination of caffeic acid was developed using banana pulp (Musa sapientum) extract as the precursor for the green synthesis of gold nanoparticles. Microscopic images verified the presence of dispersed gold nanoparticles, with an average diameter of 14.4 ± 2.5 nm on graphene sheets. The electrochemical behavior of caffeic acid demonstrated reversibility, with oxidation and reduction peaks. Under optimized conditions, a calibration curve was developed in 0.1 mol L−1 Britton-Robinson buffer (pH 2.0) with linear range from 0.05 to 10.0 µmol L−1, and a detection limit of 16 nmol L−1. The sensor was effective in coffee samples, and the results were comparable to those obtained using UV–vis spectrometry.
期刊介绍:
Food Analytical Methods publishes original articles, review articles, and notes on novel and/or state-of-the-art analytical methods or issues to be solved, as well as significant improvements or interesting applications to existing methods. These include analytical technology and methodology for food microbial contaminants, food chemistry and toxicology, food quality, food authenticity and food traceability. The journal covers fundamental and specific aspects of the development, optimization, and practical implementation in routine laboratories, and validation of food analytical methods for the monitoring of food safety and quality.
