Abstract

The present review article aimed to scrutinize findings from the studies evaluating electrochemical determination of folic acid (FA, Vitamin B9). The FA is a water-soluble chemical compound essential for various biological activities. FA deficiency in humans can be associated with some health problems. On the other hand, excessive concentrations of FA can impair the absorption of zinc and vitamin B12. Accordingly, some electrochemical sensors are available to detect the FA. The electrochemical detection with appreciable portability, rapidity, selectivity and sensitivity has made such sensing systems as tools capable of making transformational alterations in clinical settings.
