The performance of a glassy carbon electrode modified with functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes within a poly(allylamine hydrochloride) film (GCE/PAH/MWCNTs) for the voltammetric determination of sulfite in food samples is described. The anodic peak potential for sulfite oxidation at a GCE/PAH/MWCNTs was 0.41 V whereas at GCE/PAH and GCE, the peak potentials were 0.96 and 0.89 V, respectively. Using square-wave voltammetric technique, the obtained analytical curve was linear in the sulfite concentration range from 1.1 10 À5 to 3.9 10 À4 M, with a detection limit of 4.2 mM. The electrode was successfully used to determinate sulfite in vinegar, pickle water, coconut water, and shredded coconut.
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.
