Abstract
An extensive investigation has been carried out to test the nanocolloidal manganese (IV) chemiluminescence (CL) system and to utilize it for the determination of total phenolic content (TPC) in fruit juices. Initially, a detailed characterization of the produced nanocolloidal Mn(IV) was conducted including oxidation state, elemental analysis, size, shape and morphology. The electrochemical studies confirmed the oxidation state of Mn(IV), and the elemental analysis confirmed the formation of MnO2. The size of the spherical nanocolloidal Mn(IV) was found to be approximately 5
