The search to find simple, cost-effective, environmentally friendly method for synthesising of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) has motivated the use of various natural materials. Also, monitoring of sunset yellow (SY) level in foods due to the potential negative side effects is imperative. In this study, tea extract was explored as reducing and stabilizing agent for synthesising of rGO. The rGO modified carbon paste electrode (rGO/CPE) was used as a highly sensitive electrochemical sensor for the detection of SY. The rGO/CPE, due to the large surface area, showed strong enhancement effect on electrochemical oxidation of SY. Under optimized conditions, linear range between 0.05 and 10 mu M with a detection limit of 27 nM could be achieved. The proposed sensor was used to determine the amount of SY in food products with satisfactory results, and the results were in good agreement with the results obtained by UV-Vis spectroscopy.
