摘要
A differential amperometric method for the specific determination of ascorbic acid in honey was developed by association of a flow injection analysis (FIA) system and a tubular reactor containing the ascorbate oxidase enzyme immobilised. A gold electrode modified by electrochemical deposition of palladium was employed as working electrode. Ascorbic acid was quantified in seven samples of commercial honeys using a potential of +0.60 V vs. Ag/AgCl(sat). The linear dynamic range in ascorbic acid extends from 1 to 50 渭mol L鈭?, at pH 7.0. At flow rate of 1.5 mL min鈭? and injecting 250 渭L sample volumes, a sampling frequency of 180 determinations per hour is afforded. The detection and quantification limit of this method are 0.14 and 0.49 渭mol L鈭?, respectively. The samples analyses were compared with the volumetric method, and showed an excellent correlation between the methods.
