Fabrication of Poly (Evans Blue) Modified Graphite Paste Electrode as an Electrochemical sensor for Sensitive and Instant Riboflavin Detection

Electro-analysis of Riboflavin (RN) consumed as vitamin has been delved by constructing the poly (Evans Blue) modified graphite paste electrode (PEBMGPE) as an electrochemical detector. Voltammetric determination of RN in 0.2 M PBS (pH 7.0) at the electro-active layer of the PEBMGPE was conducted. The PEBMGPE plays a crucial role as sensing tool towards the detection of RN compared to the BGPE. The topographical features of the bare graphite paste electrode (BGPE) and PEBMGPE was acquired by the FESEM surface analysis. All experimental factors such as applied potential, the effect of scan rate, impact of the pH were optimized. Employing the Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) approaches using the good experimental circumstances the analytical curve was linear in the range of 6×10 -6 -1.5×10 -4 M,  the detection limit and limit of quantification gained as 2.1×10 -7 M and 7.1×10-7 M, respectively. Subsequently, good repeatability, excellent reproducibility, and adequate stability, high sensitivity were achieved for the PEBMGPE sensor. In addition, the PEBMGPE sensor was applied for the interference study of RN with Dopamine (DA) and Paracetamol (PR). Besides the practicability of the projected sensor was successfully utilized for the detection of the RN in the pharmaceutical formulations
