Abstract
|
We outline the fabrication of a highly sensitive biosensor for phytic acid (PA) determination using the extract of rice sprout and SBA@DABCO nanoparticles. The nanoparticles were first added to the surface of small paper disks. After drying, the extract of rice sprout in phosphate buffered saline was immobilized on the paper disks. FT-IR spectroscopy, XRD, and SEM were employed for the characterization of the nanoparticles. The assembly process of the modified paper disks on top of graphite screen-printed electrodes was investigated by cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. PA measurements were performed by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) with a small amount of sample (7 mL) for analysis. The cooperation of the rice sprout extract and the nanostructure of this biosensor led to the selective and sensitive electrochemical determination of PA. The limit of detection (S/N ¼ 3) and linear dynamic range for PA determination by DPV were obtained at 0.04 mM and 0.1–10.0 mM, respectively. The biosensor showed excellent sensitivity for the determination of PA in real samples such as biscuits and wheat flour.
