Influence of potential pulses amplitude sequence in a voltammetric electronic tongue (VET) applied to assess antioxidant capacity in aliso

•Total antioxidant capacity of aliso, measured through voltammetric electronic tongues.•Effect of the applied pulse setting on aliso samples and its electrochemical response.•Mathematical prediction model based on information obtained from the standard trolox.•Mathematical model based in trolox to predict total antioxidant capacity on aliso.

Four signals configurations were studied, two of them built by small increases of potential and two with bigger increments. The highest current values were obtained when pulses with bigger change of potential were used although the best results were shown by the pulse sequence which included an intermediate pulse before the relevant pulse. A mathematical model based on trolox pattern was developed to predict antioxidant capacity of aliso, employing information obtained from all the electrodes, although model validation could be done only employing the information from gold electrode.
