ABSTRACT
The present study elucidates the effectiveness of a molecularly imprinted polyacrylonitrile-imbued graphite-base electrode (MAN@G) for the selective detection of folic acid (FA) in food samples. The prime objective of the recognition and quantification of vitamin compounds like FA is the overall quality assessment of vegetables and fruits. The cost-effective, reproducible, and durable MAN@G electrode has been fabricated using acrylonitrile (AN) as the monomer and FA as the template over graphite-base. The characterization of the synthesized MAN@G electrode material has been accomplished by utilizing UV-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). A tri-electrode system based on differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) techniques was employed to explore the analytical performance of the synthesized electrode. Rigorous analyses divulged that a widespread linearity window could be exhibited by the electrode under an optimized experimental environment, ranging from 20 µM to 400 µM concentrations with an acceptable lower limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) of 18 nM, and 60 nM respectively. Additionally, this electrode exhibits high reproducibility, good stability, and high repeatability, with RSD values of 1.72 %, 1.32 %, and 1.19 %, respectively. The detection efficacy of the proposed electrode has been further examined in food extracts, namely orange, spinach, papaya, soybean, and cooked rice, which endorsed high accuracy compared to the high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method. Moreover, the statistical results obtained from the t-test analysis were also satisfactory for the FA concentrations present in those five samples.
