Voltammetric Technique for Eugenol Analysis Using Polyoctyltriethoxysilane Molecular Imprinted Polymer Electrode

Eugenol plays an important role in medicine and perfume industry. It has strong antioxidant property. In this paper a polyoctyltriethoxysilane molecular imprinted polymer (MIP) electrode has been reported to separate different concentration of eugenol samples. The data analysis techniques; Principal Component Analysis (PCA), box plot and radar plot were used. Separability index (SI) was also reported to distinguish different concentration of eugenol samples. The prepared MIP electrode also shows a good linearity over the concentration range 1 to 200-M. The cyclic voltammetry results were found quite promising, thus justifying the suitability of the polyoctyltriethoxysilane MIP electrode for the in-situ detection of eugenol.
