Theoretical Description of Sotolone Electrochemical Determination in Wine in Basic Media over an Undoped Conducting Polymer

Abstract

The electrochemical determination of sotolone in basic media over an undoped conducting polymer has been described for the first time. The alkaline hydrolysis, breaking the furanonic ring, leads to the appearance of an acid ion, entering the pol ymer matrix as a dopant. The stability analysis of the system, made by the development and investigation of the correspondent mathematical model, shows that the sotolon electrochemical determination is made efficiently. As for the oscillatory behavior, it may also be caused by the cyclic effect of chemical and electrochemical stages on the double electric layer capacitance and impedance.
