Abstract

Caffeine is found in coffee bean and leaf, tea, coconut, soft drinks, different food items and pharmaceuticals. Concentration of caffeine found in different samples is not identical. Several conventional techniques have been developed for caffeine (CAF) determination. Due to their high sensitivity, selectivity, and low detection limit, chromatographic techniques such as liquid chromatography (LC), gas chromatography (GC), high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC,) and spectroscopic techniques such as mass spectroscopy (MS), near infrared ray spectroscopy (NIRs,) coupled with detectors such as photodiode array (PDA), detector, Refractive index (RI) detector, diode array detector (DA) All of these procedures, however, are sophisticated, time demanding, and need expensive equipment. In this aspect, the electrochemical technique overcomes those shortcomings due to its low cost, quick response, and use in on-site testing. It offers a number of advantages, including the fact that it requires little time, a little amount of chemicals, and does not yield complicated results. Recent breakthroughs in the electrochemical application of nanoparticle modified electrodes for caffeine detection in food, coffee bean, beverages, and medicinal formulations are discussed. As a result, the primary goal of this work is to discuss the advantages of adopting electro analytical methodologies over traditional methods for caffeine measurement using nanoparticle modified electrodes. For a multiple of advantages, electrochemical methods of caffeine quantifications are preferable.
