Recent Developments in Electrochemical Sensing Platforms for the Detection of Plant Flavonoids

Abstract

Flavonoids are a type of bioactive compound that has a strong link to human health. They're also secondary metabolites that have a role in the color, flavor, and texture of plant-based meals. For the quality control and safety evaluation of flavonoids and their associated products, qualitative and quantitative analysis is required. The large number of flavonol glycosides and their complicated structures, on the other hand, make identification and analysis problematic. As a result, it's critical to know how far analytical methods for detecting plant flavonols have progressed in order to research current flavonol molecules. In this study, we examine the most recent research developments in plant flavonol detection methodologies, as well as the operating principles, benefits, and drawbacks of various systems. We describe and discuss the advancement of electrochemical detection of flavonoids in particular. In order to give a theoretical foundation and technological support for the detection and analysis of plant flavonoids, we also address existing issues in the area and provide a view on future research goals.
