Abstract

Five procedures are presented for the determination of hydrogen peroxide and organic hydroperoxides (including organic peroxyacids) at concentrations of 1–10 μM in aqueous soltion. All five are spectrophotometric methods, based on formation of phenolphthalein or triiodide, catalytic dye bleaching, coupled oxidation of NADPH, and horseradish peroxidase-coupled oxidations. Each is evaluated in terms of sensitivity, selectivity and reliability. The method based on coupled oxidation of NADPH is the most widely applicable to peroxidic species, whereas the horseradish peroxidase method can be made highly selective for hydrogen peroxide.

      Samples were considered positive for virus infection when the absorbance exceeded twice the mean of the absorbance values of the mock-inoculated controls [44]. Endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) concentration in the extracts of tomato plants following inoculation of GBNV and ToLCNDV at different stages (5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 dpi) of symptoms development was estimated [47]. Briefly, the leaf samples at different stages of symptoms development along with mock-inoculated samples were homogenized in 0.1 M phosphate buffer (pH 6.9), followed by centrifugation at 4 °C at 10,000 rpm for 10 min.

      As a result, reliable evidence of H2O2 identification is becoming more important in our everyday lives. A variety of techniques for detection can be used, including spectroscopic analysis [11], chemiluminescence [12], fluorescence [13], chromatography [14], and electrochemical methods [7,15]. In the midst of these technologies, compared with other detection technologies, electrochemical technique is the most suitable for H2O2 detection because of its high sensitivity, cheap, high efficiency and easy operation [16].
