•A modest, responsive, low-cost, and green electrochemically polymerised valine modified graphite paste electrode was developed.•FE-SEM, EI, and CV measurements are used for electrode materials characterisation.•Riboflavin electrochemical redox action was analysed using polymerised valine modified graphite paste electrode.•prepared electrochemical sensor provides a lower limit of detection with fine sensitivity and reproducibility.•The modified electrochemical sensor gives acceptable recoveries for riboflavin in medicinal sample.
A sensitive electrochemical analysis of riboflavin (RFN) was done in 0.1 M phosphate buffer solution (PTBS) by constructing a modest and green electrochemically polymerised (EP) valine (VLN) modified graphite paste electrode (GPE). The electrochemical, morphological, resistive, and conductive characteristics of modified electrode (EP(VLN)MGPE) and bare graphite paste electrode (BGPE) surfaces were clarified through cyclic voltammetry (CV), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and Electrochemical impedance (EI) methods. The EP(VLN) initiated electrode surface parades excellent sensitivity, steadiness, and reproducibility for the redox action of RFN with enhanced peak currents as associated to BGPE. The oxidation peak currents of RFN are improved with increased concentrations of RFN in the range from 2.0 µM to 40.0 µM and the attained limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) are found to be 28.69 × 10-8 M and 95.66 × 10-8 M, respectively. The prepared EP(VLN)MGPE was beneficial for the quantitative and qualitative investigation of RFN in medicinal sample.
