Phenolic compounds are an important class of the antioxidants and found in several natural products. Research on the phenolic compounds having antioxidant properties present in natural pruducts like fruits, spices and herbs are increased in recent years. Electroanalytical methods have low detection limits very short analysis time and require less budge as well. These advantages make the electroanalytical methods favorable and voltammetric analysis methods are one of the preferred methods in determination of the compounds having antioxidant properties present in different matrices. In this study, curcumin in turmeric samples were quantitatively determined by using edge plane pyrolytic graphite electrode (EPPG) and differential pulse voltammetry. Electrooxidation behaviour of curcumin was also examined by using cyclic voltammetry method. A three electrode electrochemical cell was used for voltammetric analysis. Edge plane pyrolitic graphite (EPPG), was used as working electrode, saturated calomel electrode (SCE) was used as reference electrode and Pt wire electrode was used as counter electrode in the cyclic voltamety and differential pulse voltametry studies. A linear relationship between anodic peak current and curcumin concentration was observed between 0.325 μM to 1.95μM at EPPG electrode with differential pulse voltammetry. Detection limit was calculated as 0,296 μM and the method successfully applied for detection of curcumin amount in a turmeric sample.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
