Arnica montana is a medicinal plant. Its biological activity is related to carboxyphenolic acids such as caffeic acid. This paper proposes a caffeic acid quantification method of Arnica montana tinctures by lineal sweep voltammetry with a platinum rotating disc electrode. Tinctures showed a number of electrochemical signals; two of them corresponding to caffeic acid oxidation. One of these signals was found to be controlled by a diffusion process and was used to quantify caffeic acid in the tinctures. The caffeic acid detection limit was established at 385 mg L À1 , and tincture concentration ranged from 161 to 265 mg L À1 .
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.
