A modified carbon paste electrode with SiO 2 /SnO 2 /Phosphate/Meldolas blue, SSPMelB, was used to study the electrocatalytic oxidation of ascorbic acid by cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry. The adsorbed dye mediates ascorbic acid oxidation at an anodic potential of 0.04 V vs. saturated calomel electrode (SCE) at pH 7.0, in 0.5 mol L À1 solution. The linear range of the sensor is between 4.0 Â 10 À7 and 2.0 Â 10 À3 mol L À1, with a limit of detection of 4.0 Â 10 À7 mol L À1. This novel electrode shows good analytical performance for determination of ascorbic acid in medicine and commercial fruit juice.
ResumoO compósito SiO 2 /SnO 2 /Fosfato, SSF, foi preparado pelo processo sol-gel. O corante redox azul de metileno foi imobilizado na superfície do SSF. Esse novo material foi utilizado na preparação de um eletrodo de pasta de carbono modificado (SSFAM) e suas características eletroquímicas foram estudadas pela técnica da voltametria cíclica. O sensor SSFAM apresentou um potencial formal de -90 mV vs ECS, uma excelente estabilidade quanto ao número de ciclos e quanto ao pH da solução de eletrólito suporte na faixa de 2,0 a 8,0. O sensor SSFAM foi utilizado para a determinação de ácido ascórbico (Vitamina C), com a utilização da técnica da cronoamperometria, e apresentou um tempo de resposta de 1,5 s, uma faixa linear de resposta entre 2,0 x 10 -4 e 3,0 x 10 -3 mol L , considerando uma relação sinal/ ruído = 3. Os resultados obtidos para amostras reais pelo sensor SSFAM foram comparados com os do método padrão de determinação de ácido ascórbico pelo reagente 2,6-diclorofenilindofenol. A comparação dos resultados obtidos pelos dois métodos demonstrou que o sensor SSFAM possui grande potencial de utilização. Palavras-chave: Sensor. Sol-gel. Ácido ascórbico.

The SSFAM sensor presented a formal potential of -90 mV vs SCE, excellent stability regarding the number of cycles and regarding the pH of electrolyte support solution ranging from 2.0 to 8.0. The SSFAM sensor was utilized for the determination of ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), utilizing the chronoamperometry technique, and presented a response time of 1.5 s, a linear response range between 2.0 x 10 -4 and 3.0 x 10 -3 mol L -1 , with a detection limit of 7.8 x 10 -6 mol L -1, considering a relation signal/noise = 3. The results obtained for real samples by the SSFAM sensor were compared with those from the standard method for determination of ascorbic acid by the 2,6-dichlorophenilindophenol. The comparison of the obtained results by the two methods demonstrated that the SSFAM sensor has great utilization potential.
