In this study, a sensitive voltammetric method
for the determination of vanillin in commercial food products was proposed
using a pencil lead as an electrode material. In the cyclic voltammograms of
vanillin recorded in pH 8.0 Britton Robinson buffer at the pre-oxidized pencil graphite
electrode (p-PGE), a sharp peak was observed at about 520 mV (vs. Ag / AgCl
electrode) attributed to the oxidation of vanillin. Subsequently, the
voltammetric determination of vanillin based on its oxidation at p-PGE was
carried out using the differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) technique under
optimized conditions. DPV results showed that the oxidation peak current of
vanillin increased linearly in the concentration range of 0.5 to 10.0 µM
vanillin with a detection limit of 0.16 µM (based on 3Sb). In the final
step, this voltammetric method was applied to the determination of vanillin in
vanilla syrup samples. Results were in good agreement with the values indicated
on the labels of samples.
