Electrochemical Determination of Various Alkaloids Using Carbon Paste Electrodes

Tento příspěvek popisuje elektrochemické chování vybraných alkaloidů (myristicinu a kapsaicinu) spolu s metodami jejich stanovení.This contribution describes an electrochemical behaviour of selected natural alkaloids (myristicin and capsaicin) offers a methods for their determination. Both of them undergoe the oxidation showing one irreversible process involving two electrons. The influence of various electrolytes as well as pH dependence is described herein. The problems connected with adsorption (extraction) of the alkaloid on (into) the electrode material are also discussed
